Where community grows, fear recedes, & magic emerges

Shaping dreams into reality, weaving ideas into form, & nurturing seeds into orchards

The Gathering

More than a festival.
A living proof.

Wo-Man-I-Fest is not a festival you attend. It's a community you step into — for a few days of shared meals, ceremony, music, building, and embodied learning on private land. You don't watch it happen. You are it happening.

Each gathering moves to a new land host, held and shaped by whoever shows up. It has been doing this for five years across five states — and it deepens every time.

WO

Divine Feminine — the receptive, the intuitive, the deep waters of being

MAN

Divine Masculine — the directed, the building, the force that gives form

I

Supreme Consciousness — the witness, the source, the one that holds both

What People Say

The feeling you can't quite explain
until you've been there.

"

Meeting so many of you at Womanifest in September was a turning point — a moment of recognition, sisterhood, and global connection that opened my heart and expanded my purpose. I am deeply grateful for the way I was welcomed, seen, and supported by this powerful circle of humans and allies... I am grateful to be walking forward with the community — aligned, empowered, and ready for everything that's unfolding.

— Love-Leigh Hughes, Washington 2024

The Humanitree Movement — tree planting ceremony
Featured Partner

The Humanitree Movement

A tree planting movement to heal the divide between humanity and nature.

At Wo-Man-I-Fest 2026, the Humanitree ceremony closes the gathering — participants become the tree, knees in soil, surrounded by altar, song, and prayer. When you rise, a tree rises with you. This rooting ceremony is dedicated to PEACE.
