My best friend and heart-sister, Mama Kelly and I will be journeying to Womon Gathering this week (June 12-15th).  

Womon Gathering has been holding this event for 20 years. I attended once before over 16 years ago with my mom.  It is an intense, truly spiritual experience that takes place at a camp up near the border of PA and NY, surrounded by the beauty of nature. 

This trip is especially meaningful and very much needed.   This will be Mama Kelly’s first time attending this event.  Her birthday was June 10th, and this trip is my gift to her and a celebration of our 20 years of friendship.   It has been over 14 years since either of us has been able to get away from the stress and chaos of every day life and to be able to focus just on ourselves (the previous 6 years we attended a weekend conference once a year in upstate NY). 

There are a variety of classes and rituals to chose from, three vegetarian meals are served each day.  There is a sacred bonfire that is lit at an opening ceremony Thurs. evening and remains lit until the closing ceremony on Sunday.

Although there is a lot to do, there are also some blocks of free time for relaxing, browsing the marketplace, or meditating by the sacred fire. I am also hoping Mama Kelly and I might be able to squeeze in a massage - there are 3 people offering various styles set up in the marketplace.

I’m so ready to unwind, relax and enjoy four days of sacred space, classes and ritual.  I will be blogging about it a lot I’m sure when I return and I hope to have lots of photos too.

Health and Happiness, Lady Rose
