Chilao Campground
San Gabriel Mountains, CA
Enter the wild. Come home to your soul.
Across time and culture, humans have ventured into the wild to make space for another voice to speak.
Our time is now.
It is time to remember our wild belonging to our bodies and the body of earth, to our souls and the soul of the world.
Together in a circle of wild womxn, we will weave a container for our own wild longings to bloom bright. We will remember ourselves home as we listen to the voices of granite and pine, star and sagebrush.
We will join the great council of beings as we gather around the campfire and share our stories, dreams and songs. We will connect to our own wild hunger, and feast on the beauty of nature through community, story, ritual, and reflection.

“I'm really thankful for this opportunity to get out into nature and connect with what is natural in me, aspects of myself that my daily life diminishes and suppresses. It can be lonely exploring spirituality outside of the certitudes of western culture's values or traditional religion. It was very affirming to share these questions and curiosities with other womxn.”
—Sarah P.
“Stephanie is a gifted teacher and facilitator of embodied, soulful, transformative experiences.”
— Moira B.
