Wild Hearth
Restore. Connect. Grow.
September 18-20, 2026
It is a great honor to invite you to our third Wild Hearth Gathering for a nourishing weekend of connection, learning, and play.
This year we have selected the theme of "Medicine Woman" as we acknowledge and celebrate the myriad ways women create, use and ARE the medicine. Whether creating literal herbal medicine and healing foods, offering sacred touch, sharing medicine songs and traditions passed down for generations, or creating nourishment through the beauty of dance and art, we all have medicine to share. Will we use our medicine to heal ourselves? Our communities? Our planet? Do we dare to step into our full potency as Medicine Women? We will explore these ideas 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!

Last Year's Schedule
Nourish
Wild Hearth is an event that is deeply nourishing with amazing food as a cornerstone. You can look forward to delicious, whole-food, gourmet meals that meet a variety of dietary needs from Paleo to Vegan. We are working with local, organic and regenerative farms to serve the freshest and most vibrant foods available and this year we plan to offer even heartier fare than in the past. We'll share Friday dinner, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch in addition to a self-serve breakfast bar in the mornings. Please bring your own snacks for between meals and consider donating any abundance from your gardens, farms, and orchards to add to the sweetness.

Through Sugar Pine Dine, Chef Carrie offers rustic, seasonal fare with local produce. She loves merging cuisines from around the world with Southern Oregon terroir.

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. We offer 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.

Co-Creating Community
Wild Hearth is a community supported event. We've worked hard to keep this gathering as accessible as possible and make the production sustainable, but we still need your help to really bring the magic!
Seva ~ Selfless Service
This year we are no longer asking for Seva from all attendees, but instead creating more work trade positions to allow for more discounted ticket options. That said, we still really love the camaraderie of our shared effort towards breaking down camp at the end of the gathering! This tradition is one we hope to to retain and your gift of time and energy at the close of the event makes this a truly collaborative experience.
Meet the Hearth Keepers
We are the Hearth Keepers: Rebecca, Harmony, Aiyah, Rachel, Hélène, and Stacey. We are lovers of the land, the local culture, and our deep connections with our sisters. In these times of great change and potential, we are inspired to revive the tradition of Women's Gatherings in this beautiful valley we call home. It is our great pleasure to serve, support, and welcome the women, from both near and far, for an opportunity to nourish and renew ourselves and our connections with each other.
