✨✨ there’s so much that I want to say, and I don’t quite have the words or the physical emotional energy to today. This festival has become so much more than a little whimsical dream I had in the woods 12 years ago ~ this festival has become a co-creation a promise for the future for our future generations.
🌿it’s become an annual pilgrimage for people from all over the country, friends that we only see for this one special weekend every year~ but it’s filled with moments that last a lifetime.
This weekend was incredible and literally for me. It’s blood sweat and tears to make this happen.
Reading through your stories, watching your joy, listening to what you have to say and how this festival has affected you and your family deeply moves me- inspires and fuels me.
I also want to take a moment to distinct everyone that was involved. This is not a one woman show. This is a team of many healing, helping hands. Many of you were holding me helping me wiping my tears away, putting ice on my ankle and literally cleaning off my daughter cuts.
there’s so many of you to thank - there’s so many people here that are just UNBELIEVABLE humans.
If you want to make a comment below about your favorite experience this weekend, shout out to a teacher or a vendor or a healer or a new friend that changed your life. I would love to read those while I lay here in bed.
So more ahead - stay tuned for incredible footage from our photographers and more thank you’s and words!

Every Volunteer, every teacher, every vendor, sponsor and every one of you that came and attended that made it so special🌿.
A few things stand out from people that came this year for the first time- this feeling while people were here of just being welcomed this feeling of what happens when we can truly be in community. This feeling that I describe as what I feel when I’m barefoot and free.
I ❤️You .
