“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.”

-DIANE MARIECHILD

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF REGISTRATION?

Included in your registration is your chosen accommodations, vegetarian non-GMO meals (Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning), and three days of amazing programming brought to you by this year's magical presenters.

HOW DO I GET THERE? WILL THERE BE A WAY TO COORDINATE CAR POOLS? WILL THERE BE A BUS?

While we are unable to provide transportation to the campgrounds from DC we will be helping co-ordinate carpools via a public Google Doc. A link to this Google Doc will be sent a few weeks before the gathering. On this document you can post if you plan to drive your own car (or rent a car) and how many spots you have available for fellow wild women. If you do not have access to a car you sign yourself up for available spots. 

ARE TRANS WOMEN AND NON-BINARY FOLKS WELCOME?

This event is completely open to and inclusive of women of trans experience. Non-binary and gender-fluid folks who enjoy and feel comfortable in women-designated spaces are also fully welcome to attend.

AM I TOO OLD TO COME? WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?

This event is for women of ALL AGES!

This event is for all women, of all backgrounds, of all races, of all religions. We aim to create a space for all women to share their love and their wisdom.

CAN I BRING DRUGS/ALCOHOL?

Please note that Women of the Wild is completely drug and alcohol free. We aim to create a safe and authentic space for women to gather and know that the presence and use of drugs or alcohol may inhibit the ability for all women to connect with one another. We recognize that many use plant medicines as part of their healing process, please note that marijuana is an illegal substance in the state of Pennsylvania, and it is important to Women of the Wild as a gathering that we not jeopardize our contract with our new location, Camp Blue Diamond Additionally, many participants are in recovery from drug or substance abuse, we aim for this space to feel as safe and healing as possible for all women, and especially those for whom drug/alcohol use may be triggering.

CAN CHILDREN COME?

YES! Children are more than welcome to come to the gathering. That being said, please note that there will be no formal child-care throughout the weekend. 

IS THIS EVENT ACCESSIBLE TO THE DEAF COMMUNITY?

YES! We will have interpreters at every single scheduled event so that the entire weekend will be open to both hearing and Deaf women. If you sign up for an add-on service, please make sure to contact us if you require an ASL interpreter for your session.

CAN I TEACH?

Applications for folks interested in presenting are currently closed for 2024.

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

The entire weekend will be scheduled to allow you to engage and connect and learn and share and grow. The magic presenters will each be planning at least one class or workshop that will be offered between Friday evening and Sunday night. You may choose to attend any or all of the classes. 

Additionally you can sign up for some optional add-on workshops and services when you arrive. 

If you choose to skip a class you may go hiking, go swimming, meditate, chat with an old friend, make a new friend, write, draw, meditate, sing, dance, or hug a tree. The entire weekend is about creating space for yourself. This means listening in, engaging when you wish to engage and finding solitude when you need to find solitude.

I AM A CREATIVE. CAN I SELL MY ART/JEWELRY/BOOKS/POEMS/POTTERY/ QUILTS/OTHER AWESOME STUFF?

YES! Every Sunday afternoon at WOTW we have a MARKET PLACE! All participants are encouraged to bring their art/jewelry/books/goodies/etc. for the open market. Everyone will have the opportunity to set up shop and display their goods. You can buy or barter so that everyone can take home a souvenir (or two, or three, or four) from the weekend while also supporting some really awesome women and non-binary/gender fluid creators.

CAN I GET A REFUND?

We understand that plans change! If you are no longer able to attend you may request a refund through the ticketing website. Full refunds can be given until September 5, at which point we may offer a 50% refund on your registration. After September 30 no refunds will be granted. 

I SEE SO MANY AWESOME ADD-ON OPTIONS, HOW DO I SIGN UP?!

This year we are doing add-on sign-ups entirely on site. When you arrive, presenters offering add-ons will have sign up lists where you can sign up for one-on-one sessions or Sunday afternoon workshops. Some folks are offering pre-registration options, you can contact them to save your spot before the gathering.

CAN I BRING MY DOG WITH ME?

Unfortunately this year we are unable to bring pet dogs to the venue. We kindly ask you to keep your dogs at home for the weekend unless you have been given explicit permission from the camp staff directly. Service animals, with documentation, are allowed and must remain on leash the entire time.

COMMUNITY INTENTION:

It is our intention that Women of the Wild be a place for all humans who identify as women or enjoy women-designated spaces to feel safe to heal, grow, gathering, explore, connect, and find retreat. We ask that you join us in this community intention by doing some work to prepare yourself mentally for this space, being conscious to arrive with open minds and open hearts, and leaving reactivity, anger, and negativity at home. Please note that any instances of racism, trans-phobia, sexism, religious intolerance, or any such action which brings harm to another Wild Woman will not be tolerated and will result in a dismissal from the gathering without a refund.
