Traditional Drum making
This year will be Lana's 5th year holding traditional drum weaving at the festival. Here, all are welcome to come hear traditional stories and bring their own drum to life. Drums hold sacred meaning in almost all ancient cultures, Canadian Indigenous being one of them. This medicine helped guide ceremony, visions and healing. We respectfully weave these drums in honour of our ancestors and those of who lost this medicine. You will walk away with a beautiful drum to take and share in our own community.
Drum Awakening
This ceremony is part 2 for all women who make a drum over the weekend. Lana was taught that our drums are the medicine of our ancestors and to use a drum we must hold it with the utmost respect.

Alexandra Sacturarium
Clay Anointing + Photoshoot
9am Saturday
-
Alexandra is a facilitator, clay artist, and sanctuary designer devoted to creating spaces that support rewilding, wellness, and collective remembrance. Her path has been shaped by over a decade of working with women, natural building, and embodied facilitation, guiding immersive workshops that encourage creativity, liberation, and self-empowerment.
Her offerings honour the feminine body, natural materials, and the sacred relationship between home, earth, and inner sanctuary. Through her signature clay work, Alexandra weaves ancient techniques and ritual with modern longings for reconnection, inviting women to reclaim their bodies as wild, worthy, and deeply intelligent.
At the heart of her work is a simple truth: every woman holds the capacity to cultivate her own sanctuary within her home, her body, and her sovereign mind. Her work is tactile, grounding, and transformative, offering an invitation to slow down, sink in, and remember what it feels like to truly belong.
-
This intimate 60-minute ritual immersion is for the woman who longs to reconnect with her body as sacred earth. It is a deeper continuation of last year’s clay offering, crafted for those who felt a strong resonance with clay and are ready to experience her healing gifts in a more personal and embodied way.
Held in a private, softly contained ceremonial space with limited numbers, this experience invites participants into a slow, intentional journey of embodiment, earth connection, and creative expression. Using a curated selection of clay, some varieties personally harvested by Alexandra, women will engage in an intuitive practice of anointing and body painting.
Together, the group explores the feminine form as altar; meeting the body as a wild, worthy, and beautiful place to come home to. Guided embodiment practices, gentle ritual gestures, reflection, and creative play support a space where each woman can express, reclaim, and honour herself in her own way.
This offering is tactile, grounding, and deeply nourishing. It is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember the innate wisdom held within the body adorned in clay, intention, and care.

The 3 Dimensions of Feminine Descent The world has taught you that your womb moves through four seasons. But before there was four, there was three. And here, I will bring you into not just understanding, but becoming skilled in transitioning through the three realms of feminine descent.
Some of the most powerful work we can do as women is in honing mastery in meeting life, and not just the love and light parts only. Life and death are always dancing, and in this teaching, I will give you a map that you will walk with for the rest of your life.
Day 1. The Death Dimension. This is the black realm, and the place where we go to die. Not just once or twice, but again and again. There is a power here that only death can beckon forth from deep within us, and she does, with immaculate precision.
But there is a shadow to how women walk with death. Some are afraid of dying, so they cling to versions of self that no amount of oxygen will bring back to life. And there are some who love it here. Where they don't die a quick and painless death, oh no. They choose to stay here and suffer, for the suffering seems lighter than the weight of the responsibility that comes with rebirth.
I will teach you holy to step into this realm with the reverence it deserves. For when you die in a good way... the blood drops.
Day 2. The Red Realm of Sacrifice. Welcome to the world of your blood, where you will learn that she is divinely designed to be the bridge between life and death. Here you will learn the power of your blood, how she communicates, and how she is coded to break all spells and curses that still pump in the veins of your bloodline.
Learn how to stop bleeding out as a woman and mother. To stop placing yourself on the sacrificial altar thinking this is the way to get the love you so deeply deserve. This is where you learn to make a trade with life, and return to sacred ayni as the truest currency there is. And watch as your blood flows from pain into pleasure effortlessly.
Day 3. The White Realm of Resurrection. When one says they are going to dive, we know they also mean that they will resurface afterwards. So naturally, a woman's descent must include her return to the world. This is the place where you learn to take the pearl of wisdom you found in the underworld of your descent, and you carry it back up to the top-side world, where you can share it as the medicine that it is with your community.
The white realm brings a new aliveness into your life, and thus, some women try to cling onto this frequency as long as they can. They get stuck in constantly manifesting the next level, instead of returning to death to do the dirty work. We learn here that we cannot only be born again and again, we must remember that life leads until it's death's turn to take over the dance.
