Matriarch Rising in 2022: The Recap

"It was a magical experience. Gathering with so many women, hugging them, loving them, and genuinely listening to them, feeling heard and seen, held and supported, sitting in a circle, laughing and dancing and having our children witnessing the matriarchs rising."

@wise_moons

"This women-only gathering offers safety and liberation. An invitation to surrender, learn, connect and remember how powerful and healing it can be to just be yourself, in the company of a strong community of women."

What started as a dream, became an event where hundreds of women gather on sacred land in the Blue Ridge Mountains each year to revive authentic sisterhood.

The Matriarch Rising Festival is an exclusive women-only event that cultivates a sanctuary for mothers, daughters, and sisters to celebrate womanhood year after year.

Our mission is to preserve the practice of sharing woman-to-woman wisdom and inspire one another to claim ownership over ourselves as sovereign and spiritual beings.

Beginning with our closely knit and welcoming staff, our core design of community is woven throughout the entire festival. MRF is a coming home to ourselves, a safe and playful arena for the wild-hearted woman to let her guard down, find deep kinship, and return to her daily life renewed. 

Workshops

Woman-to-woman wisdom sharing is one of our core values. Every year, we source the most talented teachers and artists we know to share their gifts with us on topics like somatic dance, womb wisdom, herbalism, radical feminism, authentic midwifery, and so much more.

Song & Dance

Come ready to dance and sing under the stars!! There is nothing like a good old dance session with your sisters to free your mind and soul.

Healing Sanctuary

Healing is at the core of our liberation. And we are honored to offer an opportunity for you to receive bodywork, reiki, womb-healing, breast massage, and more.

Camping & Glamping

There’s nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of mother nature under the stars after a beautiful day spent with your sisters. With three different ways to camp on the grounds, you can choose your own experience! 

Learn more ➝

Mealtime

Brunch and dinner are included with the purchase of your tickets. We source all organic and local ingredients wherever possible, and all meals include a gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan alternative. Yes, really!
