Our fourth annual gathering in celebration of womanhood || Durham || June 5-7, 2026
A living legacy & sanctuary for ceremony, community & connection
Welcome, Women of The Village
The Sacred Village is a ceremonial gathering devoted to the continuum of womanhood. Maidens, mothers, crones & elders of all walks & expressions sync into a shared heartbeat, remember what we are made of, and actively create a more harmonious world—the village way.
For three days and three nights, we enter dimensions of heavenly love, creative liberation and honest relating. We dance, sing, weep, pray, and celebrate the fullness of being woman… and together, we say yes to the sacred responsibility of shepherding a more integrated way of being for future generations who are looking to us for embodied feminine leadership.
Rooted in reciprocity, land guardianship and community care, this gathering weaves ceremony, musical performances, ancestral education, embodied workshops, personal healing, nourishing food, and so much MAGIC that words simply cannot convey. Every element is crafted as an invitation to reconnect with self, sisterhood, and Spirit.
Join us for fourth our annual Sacred Village Women’s Festival— a grounded place to pray, play and experience yourself as an integral thread in a web of wise, wild women.

Join Us in Making This Gathering More Accessible, Inclusive, & Powerful.
Not every woman who feels the call to The Sacred Village Festival has the financial means to attend— but together we can change that.
By Sponsoring A Sister, you are offering another woman the opportunity to step into the village, receive the medicine of sisterhood, and weave her presence in this sacred prayer.
Every contribution, big or small, helps cover ticket costs for women who may not otherwise be able to attend.
Equity, Inclusion & Community Care
We hold an ongoing inquiry around what truly supports women to arrive in this gathering and community space as their whole selves— what conditions allow for ease, dignity, and a sense of rightful belonging. We recognize that barriers can exist, both practical and perceived, and we take care to design an experience that feels accessible to all who are called.
The Sacred Village welcomes women from all directions and life paths—across ages, sizes, orientations, ethnicities, traditions, and backgrounds. Our programming reflects this breadth, drawing from a range of lineages, disciplines, and lived experiences. As we grow, we continue to invite a wider spectrum of voices and perspectives.
We want to be clear: we are committed to creating a culture where women of all directions feel welcome, seen, and supported—especially those who have historically faced barriers to wellness spaces, land-based gatherings, and spiritual communities.
In 2026, we are offering 8 full scholarship tickets for women experiencing financial need, with priority given to BIWOC and mothers. These scholarships reflect our belief that economic barriers should not prevent women from participating in meaningful community, ceremony, and connection. Applications for scholarship positions open in April.
The Sacred Village Anthem
This song was birthed from the soul of the village— channeled by Ashley Gilmore as a tribute to the women, the land, and the living prayer of this gathering.
“May our hearts echo with the strength of our ancestors, reminding us that we are seen, celebrated and cherished. May we invoke the magic that dwells within us, illuminating our paths and igniting our spirits”
~ Ashley Gilmore
