The Temple of Belonging:
A Homecoming for Every Woman
This is a place to return to the true nature of belonging—to self, to sister, and to spirit. A space where you don’t have to prove yourself to be worthy of care. A place where your wholeness is not questioned, where your story is not an afterthought, and where your presence is not just welcomed—it is honored.
​
What It’s About
The Temple of Belonging is a celebration of womanhood in all its forms. It is a space fully dedicated to illuminating the many gifts of sisterhood, of sweetness, and of remembering what it feels like to come home to each other. Connection, play, and renewal are at the heart of every moment, giving women a place to fully relax, be nourished, and exhale.
We create a space where belonging is not just an idea—it is an experience. This means making room for every woman: those who have been to a thousand gatherings and those who have never stepped into a circle before. It means honoring every body, every ability, every phase of life. It means building a culture of care that centers trust over comparison, presence over performance, and community over competition.
Who It’s For?
This is for any woman who longs to come home to ease in her body and trust in her community. For the woman who knows there is a joyful and beautiful way to be in sisterhood—one that does not require competition, shrinking, or over-explaining.
This space is for all who identify as women—for all backgrounds and beliefs, for all ages and stages of life and for any woman who is ready to enjoy the sweetness of women-centered community. This is a brave space where authenticity thrives and diversity is truly celebrated.​
Why It Matters
Belonging is our birthright, but in today’s world, reclaiming it takes courage. This retreat is about stepping into that courage together, returning to right relationships—with ourselves, each other, and the earth.
We live in a time where women are being pulled apart at every turn—by the pressures of individualism, by the weight of expectation, by the unspoken rules about what it means to be “enough.” Coming together in a time like this is a radical act.
​
A Commitment to Community Care
Belonging isn’t just a word we use—it’s something we build with intention.
We know that wellness spaces have not always felt safe for every woman. We also know that true allyship isn’t performative—it’s something that is felt, lived, and honored at every level of our gathering.
​
We are committed to fostering true belonging by ensuring diverse leadership, creating safe and accountable spaces, making the gathering financially accessible, honoring cultural and spiritual traditions with integrity, and designing an environment that welcomes all bodies, identities, and life experiences with care and intention..​

We are Multifaceted Magic:
A Gathering
This is an event that blends a festival, conference and a real-life village all together to create a space that is inspiring, deeply connective and feels like an answer to our collective prayers for belonging.
A Retreat
Here we cover all the bases so women can enjoy beautiful facilities, scenic camping and high-quality food, be fully resourced to enjoy this time, and leave feeling fully rested and nourshed.
A Collective
This is a space that thrives as a hub of connectivity, of collaboration, and as a continuation of weaving concentric circles of relationship with each other as locals, as families, as business owners and as friends.
A Gathering Designed for You
At The Temple of Belonging, we honor that every woman comes with her own unique needs, desires, and rhythms. That’s why this gathering is designed as a choose-your-own-adventure experience—offering a rich variety of opportunities for connection, creativity, rest, and renewal, so you can engage in the way that feels best for you.
​
Move at Your Own Pace: Whether you want to immerse yourself in workshops, spend time in the Healing Village, dance under the stars, or simply rest in the quiet embrace of nature, you get to decide how you participate.
​
Accessibility & Inclusion: We recognize that not all bodies move the same, not all nervous systems regulate the same, and not all life circumstances allow for full participation in the same way. That’s why we offer:
-
A variety of workshop formats (movement-based, discussion-based, hands-on, and restorative)
-
Affinity spaces for BIPOC women and those navigating motherhood, grief, or major transitions
-
Rest areas and gentle spaces for those needing slowness and retreat
-
Sliding scale and scholarship options to ensure financial accessibility
​
Village-Style Community: This gathering is built on the heart of village life—where care is mutual, and there is space for every woman to find what she needs. From morning movement to healing arts, from deep conversations to playful connection, you are invited to craft your own experience.
​
There is no right way to show up here—only the way that honors you.

Our gathering and community are centered around 4 main ethics:
01
COMMUNITY THAT FEELS
LIKE HOME
What does your body feel like when you feel at home? What softens, what lands, what blooms? The Temple of Belonging is a community, a celebration and a collaborative exploration of what is truly needed for women to have a home in the world and with each other. Here we remember that we are at home within ourselves, with this diverse and beautiful community, and within the loving arms of this mother earth.
02
SPACE TO BE SAFE BEING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF
Your authentic self and true nature is the greatest gift that can ever be given, and here we do our best to co-create a space where you can really shine, rest, laugh, cry and be all that you have always been, knowing that you're welcome and loved. When women can stand in the radiance of their true selves, the world shines a little brighter, and we could use that medicine now more than ever.
03
WOMEN AS THE HEART(H) OF CULTURE
Women have always been the center of home, community and the creation of life. When we return to the center again, we remember the old ways and how they feed the new, so that the healing of the feminine is not some big "to-do", but rather a sweet song to sing with those who are by your side and on the path. Women are the hearth of culture, and it's time we lean into tending this fire in a brave and beautiful way.
04
LOCALITY AS THE FOUNDATION OF SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
In a world that has become so globalized, re-localizing is a radical and sustainable act. We value tending to the roots of womanhood, community and economy here where we live, in the greater PNW. When we remember how much vitality, inspiration and healthcare we already have within our communities, we can share our resources, kinship and wisdom with greater ease and generosity.
