Dreaming Waters Autumn Gathering
Autumn Gathering: September 24-27, 2026.
Carrot Top Farms | Hastings, ON
Dreaming Waters Gathering. Is an intentional coming together of women to spend time remembering ancestral ways of caring for ourselves, each other and the land. On the first two days we nourish ourselves and each other through sharing offerings like: basket weaving, fire making, natural dye crafts, yoni steaming, and herbalism. On the third day, we come together in our closing ceremony to collectively and intentionally honor and celebrate the land that holds us during our gathering.
Nourishment:
Angell Owens from Edible Alchemy preparing her scrumptious dishes for those who wish to partake in our catering ticket once again. There is the option of full catering or partial catering. Angell’s delicious and lovingly made meals will have GF, DF options as well as different proteins.
Accomodations:
The land is our home. The dreaming waters team have goldenrod pastures for all , wildflower meadows and forest havens to shelter and hold you.
Mama Support
There will be a crew of helpers just for mamas available over the weekend to offer an extra pair of hands during our meal times. This may look like help with holding little one, serving food and clean up. Babes in arms are welcome. If you would like to bring older children, please reach out to the dreaming waters team.
Evening Programming
In the evenings, there will be different gatherings happening within the larger whole. In the past, this has looked like Trading Blanket, Song Circles, Passion Shows, Performances, Saunas, Sound Baths, Storytelling around the fire, and more. The team likes to keep a lot of this a surprise.
Heather will be at this event hosting the Community Red Tent as a drop in space throughout the weekend..
