Hey! Have you attended the Women's Goddess Retreat at some point in the last 12 years!! We'd love you to contribute one of these TWO amazing collections of art, stories, and bits of wisdom from the circle that we are compiling.

Due to our inability to host and facilitate the retreat in a meaningful way while maintaining safe social distancing, etc, we will not be gathering in person this year.

Stay tuned for updates!
