October  2-4, 2026

at Midian Events in Springville, IN

This retreat was designed to honor different Goddesses from various world cultures each year. Throughout the course of the retreat each of the selected Goddesses for this year will be invoked by all participants for two hours each. During that time we will share stories of that Goddess, perform group activities in honor of Her, and look to Her stories and our inner wisdom for Her lessons in our own lives. At the end of each two hour session we will release that Goddess's energy, and have time for quiet reflection.

Retreats can deal with difficult subjects, and can be challenging to the participants. If you have attended outdoor festivals before, you will find this retreat will be different from past events. Retreat participants are encouraged to be present at all retreat events from Friday to Sunday, not including campsite set-up and tear-down.

During the retreat you may be tempted to skip some of the scheduled group events. Ask yourself sincerely what you need at that moment, and then take whatever time you need to rest, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Your journey is your own personal private path to renewal and you know what your spirit needs most. We ask only that you trust in the alchemical magick and process of the retreat, which is both challenging and rewarding.

Before You Register ...

The Women's Goddess Retreat is a space where women come together to sink deeply into ourselves and engage meaningfully with a community of women who support us on our journey. It is not your typical neopagan festival space -- and indeed it isn't "festival" space at all. We ask that all potential attendees READ THIS INFO PACKET before registering.

Past Retreats

We've been holding the Women's Goddess Retreat every year since 2009.  To learn a little about our journey so far, check out THIS PDF.

Pricing and Registration

We value and support ALL women, which is why we offer this unparalleled retreat at the exceedingly low cost of $60 for most women. Furthermore, we understand that our Elder attendees as well as our pre-Adult attendees are often on a limited budget. For that reason, we offer a $40 registration option, as well. (Circle Facilitators and other helpers are asked to contribute $25 to help cover expenses.) 

Everyone can "SAVE A SPOT" for  $25 --  non-refundable. The remainder of your fees will be due when you arrive. (There are two "Save My Spot" options, so we know how much of your ticket price is owed upon arrival. Be sure to select the one that applies to you!

You can also reserve a private porta-potty for yourself or your small group. 2026 costs for this addition are still TBD. Please email Laurelei for this info.

Use your preferred payment method below and be sure to note the names of the attendees with your payment.

Registration for the 2026 retreat is now OPEN. Pre-Registration is required to attend this event. (For safety and capacity reasons, we only accept pre-registration. Thank you for understanding and respecting this boundary.)

Please note that we are not able to issue refunds under MOST circumstances. However, we will happily transfer your registration fees to another attendee, if you like. OR we can apply them to the 2027 retreat.
