This Year’s Venues

 

Isis Oasis

Healing is at the core of our liberation. The Isis Oasis is located inside of an air-conditioned yurt where incredible healers offer bodywork, reiki, womb healing, breast massage, and more. It’s a kid-free zone where women and mothers can relax and receive potent healing sessions.

Diana’s Dome

Diana’s Dome is a massive 33 ft. air-conditioned dome to chill out, have a nap, or take a breather from the hot solstice sun. It’s a community space for women, mothers, and children. Organized discussions and circles are held here during the day as well!. 

Summer Solstice Stage

Every year, we open and close the festival gathered together around our Summer Solstice Stage. It is located in an open green space situated high on the grounds. Once the sun goes down, this is where the party pops off–from silent discos, bonfires, and killer headliners. We also host our super fun morning yoga sessions here.

Gaia’s Grove

Tucked against the forest line, this calm and shady space is the home of our daily RadFem Tea Time. It has a beautiful earth altar and is one of the only spaces at the festival with no amplified sound. Start your morning off here by attending one of our morning song circles!

3 Sisters Stage

Located in the center of the property, the Three Sisters Stage is where workshops and daytime concerts occur. There is no capacity; everyone is welcome. 

Matriarch Marketplace 

Enjoy browsing our marketplace where talented artisans sell their handcrafted goods. We handpick our vendors each year so you’re sure to find unique gifts and bespoke items you can’t get anywhere else.

If you have a workshop you’d like to bring to the festival, handcrafted goods you’d like to sell, or offer bodywork or healing, please visit our Get Involved section for details on how to apply.
