We understand that our choice may not be ideal for everyone, as well as unintentionally using language that some may not agree with, but we are doing our best to honor our expression of art. This gathering is designed as a safe and sacred space for individuals who identify as biological women or non-binary. The intention is to honor and explore shared experiences deeply rooted in the biological realities of womanhood—such as menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, sexuality, and other physical and hormonal journeys that are uniquely tied to being biologically female, or as a vagina owning human. By focusing on these shared experiences, the gathering seeks to cultivate an environment of mutual understanding, healing, and connection.

We deeply respect and honor the experiences of trans women, as well as all categories of humans, recognizing their unique challenges and the beauty of their journeys. However, this gathering centers specifically on the physical, emotional, and spiritual experiences that are exclusive to those born biologically female. The decision to focus on this specific group is not about exclusion or rejection, but rather about creating a focused, intentional container where participants can connect over shared, biologically based life experiences. This approach does not diminish the value or legitimacy of other identities. Instead, it acknowledges that different groups may benefit from spaces that speak directly to their unique experiences. Creating this gathering is about ensuring that these shared realities have the room to be honored fully, in the same way that trans women also deserve dedicated, sacred spaces that celebrate and affirm their lived experiences.
Intentional spaces allow individuals to gather in safety and solidarity, fostering a sense of belonging and deeper connection. For biological women, such a space can provide the opportunity to:

  • Process the physical and emotional realities of womanhood in a supportive environment.

  • Engage in rituals, discussions, and practices tailored to their biological experiences.

  • Build community and nurture a sense of empowerment through shared understanding.

By offering this gathering, the goal is to celebrate, honor, and support the participants while also recognizing that inclusivity can take many forms—sometimes through creating distinct, respectful spaces for different lived realities. This enhances the diversity and vibrancy of humanity as a whole.

We acknowledge there are many events & spaces open to all people and trans women exclusive around the world. We hope that if this event is not aligned for you, that you will still honor ours and seek out one that will support you more fully
