In each womans story there is a mythic template,
like the imaginal cells of a butterfly that lay dormant in the caterpillar, waiting to emerge.
The Earth Daughters Mythos
The emergence of the Earth Daughter’s myth over five years of gathering together is revealing to us our true nature, our cultural roles as women, and the path towards the future we desire most. We need the Earth Daughters’ mythos, not just to enter the imaginal world of what is possible to create as women on this earth, but as a thread of living wisdom, overflowing love, and unshakable belonging that keeps us connected to one another in an era of division and fear.
The myth of Earth Daughters is re-emerging in our collective field through the bone, flesh, and blood of each woman choosing to reclaim the rites of passage through the altar's womanhood. If the Earth Daughters myth is woven into your soul, it is because you are a thread holder of the return of the sacred feminine in modern culture.
We are all participants in weaving this mythic story. Our shared and individual legacy is woven and will have a long lasting impact on the lives of our descendants. We might not see it, but if you have attended this sacred gathering, you have surely felt it. The prayers that we weave when we gather together are unstoppable. We need only show up as we are.
Earth Daughters is more than a festival, it is a cultural hearth and we are each tending the fire of sisterhood and feminine leadership. Our own story of homecoming is an offering to this sacred fire.
Our gathering is world building because women are choosing to reclaim their power, roles, and responsibilities as culture keepers, healers, visionaries, artists, and architects of the new world. We are committed to tending to the mythic landscape of the Earth Daughters festival with devotion, care and reverence for the mysterious aspects of the unseen world that moves through us, the land, and our deepest longings for cultural repair.
Earth Daughter’s VALUES
Reciprocity - We walk in relationship with the Earth, giving back as much as we receive. Every gathering, project, and offering is an act of gratitude, a living exchange between women, land, and lineage.
Regeneration - We are committed to restoring our wild, creative natures as women and tending our communities and ecosystems.
Reconciliation - We are committed to unlearning extractive and domination-based systems that have shaped modern culture. We acknowledge the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization on Indigenous peoples and lands, and we seek to engage with these realities through education, reflection, accountability, and respect. Earth Daughters approaches reconciliation as an ongoing practice of listening, learning, and cultivating right relationship, rather than a fixed destination or claim of authority.
Sovereignty - We honour the autonomy and inner authority of every woman. Earth Daughters is a place- in spirit and form- where each woman stands rooted in her power, truth, intuition and leadership. She co-creates from a place of embodied power.
Biology - We understand Womanhood to be both a cultural and biological experience. We celebrate, explore, and educate about the biological roles and rhythms inherent to being female - that we then embody in our expression of Womanhood. Our work lies at the intersection of female biology and feminine expression. The experience of living in a female body is central to the festival journey.
Sisterhood - We cultivate belonging through authentic connection and mutual support. Our circles are spaces of remembrance, where competition dissolves, and women rise together as kin. We acknowledge our shadows and projections and commit to turning towards one another, even (and especially) when it feels challenging.
Stewardship - We hold deep reverence for the lands we gather on and the ancestral lineages that protect them. Stewardship is not symbolic; it’s a practice of tending, protecting and acting in right relationship
Creativity - We are creative by nature and our art, expression, and creative ceremony are vital to culture. Creativity is how we remember who we are, how we heal, educate, and reimagine a more beautiful world together.
Legacy - We place future generations at the center of our visionary work. Earth Daughters exists to plant seeds and grown gardens of cultural, ecological, and spiritual resources that will nourish our daughters and their daughters to come.
