An intentional container where the divine feminine, masculine,
and supreme consciousness gather to remember what's possible.
For a few days each year, a gathering of teachers, artists, visionaries, and seekers comes together on private land — to share meals, build things, make music, hold ceremony, and practice what it actually feels like to live in community.
You don't watch it happen. You are it happening.
This is a restorative gathering centered around authentic connection, intimacy, inclusivity, and love — delivered in a playful and interactive way. The ancient teachings of sovereignty, womb mysteries, symbiotic relationship, and creative empowerment are alive here — not as concepts, but as lived experience.
Three forces. One gathering. An intentional container.
The receptive, the intuitive, the deep waters of being. The womb of all creation. The wisdom that knows without needing to explain. In WO we honor the cycles, the darkness that holds the seed, and the body as a sacred instrument of perception.
The directed, the building force, the structure that gives form to the formless. The protector and provider of sacred space. In MAN we honor clarity of purpose, the willingness to act, and the courage to show up fully for what we love.
The witness that holds both. The source from which all arises. The "I" that remains when WO and MAN dissolve into their dance. In I we rest in the unchanging presence beneath all experience — the still center of the turning world.
The flowering of all three in union. The joyful overflow when divine forces align in community — where ceremony becomes song, intention becomes dance, and for a few sacred days, the world we are building is already here.
Together: an intentional container to honor, restore, and harmonize —
and co-create our dreams of a more beautiful world.
The people who find their way to Wo-Man-I-Fest are ready to leave something behind — the pace, the disconnection, the loneliness of modern life that moves too fast to feel anything real.
They come craving authentic connection. A grounded experience. The felt sense of being held by something real. They want to cook together, build together, dance together, cry together, and laugh until something in them relaxes that has been braced for a long time.
This gathering is inclusive to all beings, no matter how they identify. Children are welcome. All ages, all backgrounds, all identities. You are welcome here.
No two gatherings are exactly alike. What follows is the living rhythm that has shaped every Wo-Man-I-Fest — a container for all of it.
Ceremony
Opening and closing ceremonies held on the land. Native Elder land acknowledgment. Water blessings. Tree plantings. Sacred space held from arrival to departure.
Shared Meals
Organic food, prepared together. Kitchen participation earns a ticket discount. Every meal is community — the table is where the gathering deepens.
Music & Dance
Ecstatic dance, live performance, open mic, singing circles. The land becomes the stage. Movement as medicine — no experience necessary.
Workshops & Playshops
Herb walks, breathwork, compassionate communication, cob building, crafting, yoga, sound healing, and more — facilitated by a curated roster of teachers and practitioners.
Wo·Man·I·Market
A sacred marketplace for trade, barter, and gift exchange. Bring something to offer. Leave with something you didn't expect to receive.
The Giving Circle
Inspired by Charles Eisenstein's sacred economics. Bring something meaningful to gift. Not as transaction — as an act of love and abundance.
Cob Building
One of humanity's oldest building methods: clay, sand, straw, and water shaped by hand into walls that stand for generations. At WMF you'll mix, stomp, and sculpt — and discover that building a home can feel like play, and like prayer.
The Compooster
"What your body releases, the earth receives." Our composting outhouse closes the loop through a thermophilic process that transforms human waste into rich soil — a small, radical act of returning what we've borrowed from the earth.
Trash Temple
Every piece of trash here is washed, sorted, and seen as raw material. Bottle bricks become walls. Glass becomes mosaic. Fabric becomes prayer flags. And there is space, too, for the trash inside us — the stories we've outgrown, transmuted into something lighter and more alive.
What began as a high-vibrational traveling micro-fest has grown into something more profound. Five years across five states — each gathering deeper, each community more rooted.
The 2026 gathering in Lava Hot Springs represents the next step: a full Regenerative Living Revival with extended programming, Ayurvedic cleanse extension, communal kitchen participation, and a two-week cob house building workshop before and after the gathering.
