First Annual Goddess Gathering

Summer is upon us, and what better way to welcome the season of warmth and light than by joining us for a day of fun and celebration? We are thrilled to invite you to our First Annual Goddess Gathering at Hammonasset Beach, a celebration of Lilith, the divine feminine, and the magic that dances within us all.

Date: Friday, June 21, 2024

Time: 10 am to Sunset (Come whenever you can)

Location: Hammonasset Beach, Pavillion 4 (near the nature center) We’ve rented an entire pavilion!

This event is more than just a gathering; it's a sanctuary where the enchantment of magic meets the shoreline of the sea. It's a full day devoted to celebrating women, friendship, and the cyclical turning of the wheel, set against the backdrop of one of Connecticut’s most breathtaking natural landscapes.

Today is yours to roam freely, immerse yourself in our community, engage in various activities at your leisure, or relish the tranquility of the beach and the scenic beauty of our nature trails.

What to Expect:

• Connect with Like-Minded Spirits: Gather with women who share your passion for the divine feminine, nature, and the power of community.
• Celebrate the Divine Feminine: Honor Lilith and the Full Strawberry Moon through rituals and celebrations that connect us to the cycles of nature and the universe.
• Nature Walks: Join us for guided walks along the beach and trails, where we’ll share stories, wisdom, and perhaps even spot some local wildlife.
• Meet Our Teachers: Engage with our beloved teachers and mentors, who will share insights and lead mini-workshops. (schedule to come)
• Crafting and Creativity: Enjoy access to materials and guidance for crafting, or bring your own project to work on and enjoy in the company of women.
• Relaxation and Reflection: Use this sacred space for personal reflection, meditation, or simply to relax and bask in the company of fellow goddesses.

Best of all, daughters under the age of 15 are welcome to join for free, making this a wonderful opportunity for mothers and daughters to bond and celebrate together in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Your ticket to this unique gathering includes access to all activities, workshops, and the pavilion for the entire day. Food and non-alcoholic beverages are welcome; bring a little something to share and enjoy at our shared pavilion space. (No meat, please!) There are two grills available if we have any grill goddesses in our group!

Don’t miss this chance to be part of something truly magical. With the sea as our witness and the sky as our canopy, let’s welcome the summer as only true goddesses can.

Expect additional information and detailed updates in the weeks ahead on our website.

Looking forward to celebrating with you,

All of us at Friends of the Forest

P.S. Remember to bring your favorite beach chair, your sacred items for the altar, and an open heart ready to receive and give love.
