Restore. Connect. Grow.
It is a great honor to invite you to our second Wild Hearth Gathering for a nourishing weekend of connection, learning, and play. This year we convene at Good Medicine, reviving the land’s decades old tradition of hosting women’s gatherings.
Embracing the theme of "Dancing Through Change"… we acknowledge and celebrate the mystery and transformation inherent in the female experience. As the winds of change blow all around us, how does our sisterhood support us to become more resilient, more courageous, and move deeper into love? As we weather changes within our own bodies, what wisdom might we tap into from our collective that supports our transitions? What does it look like to find JOY in the unknown? We will explore these questions together through inspiring classes, ritual, yoga, dance, and song.
Wild Hearth is a place to nurture and tend our inner fire. Here, you are invited to embrace your wildness, honor your intuition, and cultivate deep connections. We hope you can join us!

"Dance Through Change" in a transformative dance experience!
We are so pleased to announce that Ariadne Grace, choreographer of the acclaimed "Motherline" dance, will be bringing her magic to Wild Hearth! She will be choreographing a unique dance experience “Healing the Headwaters” as a movement prayer for all of our attendees, regardless of ability or dance experience, to share in.
Ariadne says of "Healing the Headwaters":
In order to dance through changes, both internal and external, we need to access our source and open the flow...This is the nature of a resilient headwaters, one from which we can access the energy, relentless hope, and radical positive self regard we need to protect our planet, our families, and our own beautiful, generous hearts.

all in a beautiful location...
Good Medicine
Nestled in the heart of Williams, Oregon, the Good Medicine land has been hosting gatherings for over 30 years. This sanctuary of song and prayer supports celebrants with a magestic forest canopy, a clear, cool, swimmable creek, fresh spring water for drinking, a large sauna, enclosed round house, and tipi for evening song circles. We are excited to work with Windsong Martin to revive the tradition of Women's Gatherings on this sacred land. You are invited to camp amidst towering pine and cedar, with the music of the creek singing you to sleep. Terrain here is uneven, please contact us if you have mobility concerns.
Sooo... How Much?
Our goal is to bring everyone together and create an event that is both affordable and sustainable so that we may gather year after year. This year we are offering 3 tiers of adult tickets with a limited number of tickets available in each tier. In order to make this event accessible for all who may want to attend, we encourage you to purchase the ticket at the highest tier you have access to. Ticket prices include site fees, admission and delicious, organic meals. There may be additional costs for supply fees for individual classes.
If you would like to be considered for work trade please get in touch. We will also have a trade blanket at the event on Sunday. The trade blanket will be a place where attendees can lay out their wares, to sell or barter. We hope this allows women to offset their costs as well.
