MINING THE GOLDweaving the dream
THE SACRED VILLAGE WOMEN’S FESTIVAL 2027APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN
There is a collective dream…
and she is dreaming us.
A future timeline that prophecies know to be the new earth.
A waking reality where matriarchy & synarchy are centred.
Where women are resourced to devote themselves to a collective calling.
Where children know the value of their own life and stay connected to their innocence.
Where mothers are nourhished and supported in the sacred work of raising life.
Where elders are revered as keepers of wisdom and memory.
Where communities are actively restoring coherence in their relations with land, self & other.
Each of us play our part in our own microcosmic orbits, to drop ripples of consciousness through the earth’s blood and plant seeds of possibility into her soil — for a more beautiful and harmonious world for all.
This is a grand dream, and we must not be overcome by apathy or passivity for too long, because the truth is, we all hold an individual thread to weave into the tapestry of human consciousness…
And we are waking up to the power we possess and the responsibility we have to wield that power well.
We see this great dream carried in the threads between us — in the hands that create, the voices that speak, the bodies that move, the fires we tend, the medicines we share, the songs we sing, the relationships we pour into and the worlds we dare to imagine together.
And perhaps this is where we are being called to mature:
from the question of “What is mine?” toward “What is ours?”
From self-serving models of success toward a deeper understanding of interdependence, reciprocity and shared stewardship. From centralized models of power toward leadership that is distributed, relational and rooted in service.
The web offers us a template.
One woman’s medicine strengthens another. One woman’s courage makes space for another to rise. One woman’s gift becomes the soil from which another’s gift can grow.
This is how the web becomes fortified — through the integrity of each thread, and through the strength that emerges from their relationship with one another.
Our ancestors knew that we belong to one another. The village was a living web of relationship, responsibility, nourishment and belonging.
It is a remembering and cultivation of our essential blueprint:
That we possess boundless potential when we are creating together!
And this remembering is not a bypass of the world we are living in…
We are deeply aware of the broken systems, the extractive forces, the horrific violence and the patterns of disconnection that shape our world.
The Village is an antidote to these realities.
We practice becoming living solutions — learning to recognize what perpetuates harm and choosing, in our own lives and communities, to create something different.
The first four years of The Sacred Village were, in many ways, about developing our root system.
Uprooting. Clearing distortion. Healing our patterns. Remembering ourselves.
And we will continue this work for the rest of our lives.
AND — the point of clearing the ground is to make space for something new to grow.
To free up the energy that has been bound in survival, protection and old patterns, so that we can become available for creation.
For building, tending, dreaming.
and bringing new worlds into form.
In 2027, we gather to weave the dream.
We feel the presence of Grandmother Spider — ancient, patient, and intricate. The great weaver who reminds us that every thread matters, that nothing exists in isolation, and that the web becomes stronger through relationship.
We feel the element of Air — breath, movement, inspiration, possibility.
We feel the medicine of the Butterfly Maiden — metamorphosis, emergence, the courage to leave one form behind and take flight into another.
And we feel the spirit of Courageous Action.
The moment when the dream moves from the realm of imagination into the realm of creation.
The breath that gives it life.
The audacity AND the humility to leap, and learn along the way.
The willingness to become responsible for what we are here to bring forth.
To move from healing ourselves to creating anew.
From individual transformation to collective possibility.
From imagining another world to becoming part of its creation.
This is Weaving the Dream.
And we are listening for the women who feel the resonance of this prayer.
THE SACRED VILLAGE PRAYER THE SACRED VILLAGE PRAYERBeyond being a festival, The Sacred Village is a living, animate field.
A hearth & gathering place for women who are creating, tending, healing, dreaming, building, remembering and in intentional study with life.
Each year, we listen deeply for what wants to come through — listening to the land, the community, the prayer of the festival, and the women who feel called to contribute their threads.
We are calling in local and international women whose work, presence and medicine feel resonant with the spirit of The Sacred Village.
Women who understand that what we create together is greater than what any one of us could create alone.
Women who come not only asking:
“What can The Sacred Village offer me?”
but also:
“What am I here to contribute?”
This is a field rooted in reciprocity, relationship and shared creation.
The Sacred Village is a fruitful, generative ecosystem — a place for connection, collaboration, creativity, relationship and, depending on your role, financial reciprocity.
Our vendors, practitioners, guides and performers each have an opportunity to share their work, connect with hundreds of women and contribute to the larger tapestry of the Village.
We are deeply intentional about how we enter this field.
We value women who understand the Village as a living ecosystem — women who come with generosity, integrity, professionalism and a spirit of reciprocity; who celebrate one another, weave meaningful relationships and contribute to something larger than themselves.
We also value women who are willing to co-weave the gathering within their own communities — sharing the invitation, celebrating the village and helping bring their people into relationship with the wider web.
We don't prioritize follower count or social reach as a measure of value. We are interested in women who are genuinely in the spirit of co-creation and are willing to participate in the weaving.
This is a living prayer.
Before you apply, we invite you to pray into your own work:
What am I creating?
What wants to move through me?
What thread am I here to bring?
How might my offering contribute to the collective dream?
What am I here to weave?
A GENERATIVE FIELDTHE WEAVING PROCESS
There is limited space within every area of the festival, and we know we cannot say yes to everyone.
Each year, we enter a deeply considered curatorial process, looking at every offering in relationship to the larger tapestry:
What is already here? What is missing? What does the Village need? What wants to emerge?
As part of this process, we consider the diversity of lineages, traditions, perspectives and pathways of teaching represented within the Village.
We are looking for women with multiple years of experience in their field — women who have developed a meaningful relationship with their craft, medicine or body of work and are equipped to share it within a larger ecosystem.
We are not simply choosing individual offerings — we are weaving a constellation.
Selection, or non-selection, is not a measure of your worth, your medicine or the value of your work. It simply means we are listening for a particular tapestry in a particular expression of the gathering.
There are no guarantees of selection.
We invite you to enter the process with openness and trust, knowing that our decisions are guided by what we feel will best serve the whole of The Sacred Village 2027.
BEFORE YOU APPLYPlease read each pathway carefully and choose the one that best reflects your offering.
You may apply to up to two categories if you have distinct offerings that genuinely belong in different pathways.
Please don't apply to every category simply to increase your chances of selection. Instead, ask:
Where does my offering belong?
What is its clearest expression?
Which pathway feels most aligned?
THE APPLICATION PROCESSApplications open: October 20
Applications close: November 11
Selection notifications by: November 30
Please make note of these dates before beginning your application.
There is a $15 application access fee.
We ask for this small investment because the curation process is substantial. Every year, we receive a large number of applications, and each one requires time, attention, communication and careful consideration as we build the overall ecosystem of the festival.
The $15 fee helps support the administrative infrastructure required to hold this process with the depth and care it deserves.
This is not a guarantee of selection.
Once you complete your application access purchase, you will receive an email containing links to the individual applications for each pathway.
From there, you will choose the pathway(s) that feel genuinely aligned with your contribution.
Please take your time. Read the descriptions. Pray into your offering. And share your vision!
