We’re calling in the magic we’ve held close for years — a container born in 2019, renewed in 2021, and ready to rise again in 2025.
While Groundswell was waiting for new owner/stewards, we tried to find different land to gather on but this gathering wanted to be home. And home is Groundswell — where the soil still holds our laughter, our healing, and our altar.
We gather to CO-CREATE a sanctuary of joy, embodiment, connection, and play. A space where we can be soft and strong, sacred and silly, sensual and sincere.

the collective
▼▼▼
we are co-creating an intentional space, a unique container for connection, healing, and exploration. rooted in our collective feminine.
A gathering of badass tenderqueer genderqueer babes.
This space centers queer femme energy — in all its shapes, expressions, and contradictions. This is a gathering for those who are in reverence of the divine feminine — not as a gender box, but as an energy, a force, and an honoring — a redefining of what it means to be femme.
Whether you’re a goddex in leather, a non-binary softy in silk, a tender trans witch, a wild femme in a body that’s never been understood, YOU BELONG HERE.
We welcome you in all your sacred weirdness, your healing, your power.
If you feel called to RISE WITH US, this space is for you.
The time is now.
Let’s shake off the dust of the last four years.
Let’s gather, rise, and remember who we are — together.
We invite you to step outside of your comfort zone, to lean into vulnerability.
To be witnessed not only in your joy but in your grief.
Here there is space for all that is moving through you.
What will you bring?
How will you meet yourself?
As Groundswell begins again, so do we.
ARE YOU READY TO RISE?
PROGRAMMING includes yoga, dance, workshops + talks, tea + cacao, self care spa moments, play party, tarot + astrology, hikes, creek time, heart space, song sharing, and magic.
THIS GATHERING RUNS FRIDAY OCTOBER 10 THROUGH MONDAY OCTOBER 13. THE AIR WILL BE SWEET WITH THE COMING OF FALL, THE POND AND CREEK STILL WARM ENOUGH FOR A DIP, AND WE’LL KEEP THE EVENING CHILL AT BAY WITH THE HEAT OF OUR COMMUNITY FIRE.
AND FOR ALL YOU LIBRAS OUT THERE >>> THERE’S A WHOLE LOT OF BIRTHDAY MAGIC UP IN THIS GATHERING. IF YOUR RETURN AROUND THE SUN IS WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS OF THIS GATHERING, LET US KNOW, WE WANT TO CELEBRATE YOU !
