WHAT IS WIERD WOMEN?

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Wierd Women isn't a healing gathering or a wild party, and it certainly isn't the Girl Scouts. To some, it encompasses all or parts of those aspects, to others it’s none of the above…

It is an inclusive and eclectic retreat, created by a diverse group of women, for all women ⚡️✊🏼

We warmly welcome outdoor enthusiasts, free spirits, conformists, non-conformists, artists, adventurers, spiritual folks, and everything in between ❤️‍🔥

2023 THEME

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

● f u l l _ c i r c l e ●

Our first event EVER, the Wierd Women gathering held in 2018, was called, ‘Wierd Women: Circles.’ The symbol of a circle can represent wholeness, nurturing, and cycles 🌀

For our fifth installment, we would like to appreciate that in many ways we have come ‘full circle.’ This year, our theme places the myriad ages and phases of womanhood in all their beauty at the core of the gathering 🌛 🌝 🌜
