The sisterhood is gathering...
​We gather for each other, for humanity and for ourselves.
​We gather to envision a better world. WomanFest

WomanFest 2018

When I was kindly invited to the first WomanFest near Frome, Uk last year, I had no sense of what I was going to.  I just could not say no!
Something in its calling courted me.
All was in place for the Grief Composting Circle and WomBelt to be offered to this extraordinary and timeless gathering!

My luggage were mostly filled with yarn and my heart growing with trepidation to arrive on the edges of what we know where life thrives!
I was not sure why I went all the way from Slovenia to Frome...until I got there.

I soon found a tree, tied myself to her and wove a WomBelt ...for three days. 

I invited many Women to write on a tiny scroll the World of their deepest Longing.
Each piece of fabric was carefully rolled up and inserted in the 4 meters WomBelt. Many tears and heart sharing were witnessed by that sweet tree, delighted she was to see us women so raw and real.

The belt was then offered to Tiana Jacoult who held the original vision of WomanFest.

​We know what it costs to hold Visions to better our world.  We need support from all willing. Three of us wrapped the belt around her womb and hips to bless, protect, guide and praise all of her future actions in service to our world's well being and sanity.

Women all over our Earth are gathering and rising from the ashes of genocides, slavery and betrayal. There is a new tide and all of life is at stake! Time to mature and offer our gifts fully with the support and blessings of our sisterhood!

SOULand will be present at WomanFest this year
in a Black Tent created especially by the Blissfull Belltent . We will be in the woods at the radically participatory WomanFest 2019 this Aug.
We will be there for the Maturing of Women's Soul offering tasters of the full programme of SOULand.
