Whispers from those who have gathered…
“Dreaming Waters opened up a deeper level of vulnerability I never thought I could feel. As a first timer, I came into Dreaming Waters feeling nervousness and trepidation. After 3 days, I came away with an overflowing heart, inspired spirit, and lasting connections with kindred ones. This is a very special community indeed. It bonds you, holds you, cares for you, nurtures you, and delights you! - Participant, Spring 2024”“Dreaming Waters was a beautiful weekend experience where I got to be in a safe, welcoming community connecting with other like minded women and developing new skills for life!” -Participant, Spring 2024 “This is a unique and special gathering to remember our way back to each other, ourselves and the land” - Participant, Spring 2024
What is Dreaming Waters Gathering?
Dreaming Waters Gathering. An intentional coming together of women to spend time remembering ancestral ways of caring for ourselves, each other and the land. On the first two days we nourish ourselves and each other through sharing offerings like: basket weaving, fire making, natural dye crafts, yoni steaming, and herbalism. On the third day, we focus our energies collectively on stewarding the land that holds us during our gathering. Welcome home to the village, sister.
This is ancestral technology…
The idea of women coming together to spend intentional time on the land, sharing skills, nurturing each other and the heartbeat beneath our feet, is ancestral technology. It is not our idea…It is something that our bones remember doing and slowly we are winding our way back into this deeply human phenomenon.
