Any person who lives their life as a woman is welcome. As well, any person who uses they/them pronouns and has a womb or is an intersex person who wants to be included in a women’s gathering, whose primary focus is on the womb, breast and vaginal health, are welcome. Men please respect that this is women only space.

We recognize that our world holds deep systemic imbalances. We labor to heal these imbalances through true access and mutual care. Equity ticket support is prioritized based on financial need, access barriers, and a clear desire to participate in the gathering.

We invite women who would like assistance to attend. Please email us at Plantmagickgathering26@gmail.com with your access needs, name the amount you feel you can pay and/or other ways you can be in reciprocity as well as  why you want to attend.

We invite women with financial security to be as generous as possible and add $20-$100 to the equity fund when you register. We allocate all RV and car camping fees towards equity tickets and have other fundraising ideas both prior to and during the gathering.

With respect to the master plants,  we are here to learn about medicinal herbs and practices that help us heal our bodies and the land. We work with plants, ceremonies and practices that regulate our nervous systems, aid in recovery from illness and child birth, ease our way through menopause as well as the gentle adaptogens we use everyday. These are our focus. We are not engaging with medicines that are mind altering. 

We would like for everyone to be present for Opening and Closing ceremonies and throughout the gathering. If you need to arrive late or leave early though, we understand. There are no day passes. Tickets are for the entire time, Thursday 3pm-Sunday 3pm. Gates open Thursday 11am-8pm and Friday 10am-6pm. If you are arriving outside these times, you will need to make special arrangements with the registrar.
