About the Goddess Festival
On your sacred journey to the Goddess Festival, you’re struck by the beauty of the journey. The rolling hills dotted with oak trees gives way to majestic views of the California coastline as you pass over the northern part of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The air smells of the ocean’s sweet salty kiss, and you know you are getting closer.
It’s exciting to take this journey. Knowing that your sisters await your arrival and loving women’s embraces will soon enfold you.
The coastline beckons you to follow the curve of her body just so she can show off her foamy white waves as she crests the rocks that provide you safety from Yamaya’s reach. Perhaps you’d like to stop along the way to outstretch your arms and receive her ancient female energies.
Then you see the marker that starts you on your inward journey. You travel inland for a short distance. The thick oak trees soon give way to the more ancient old growth redwoods; the ancient ones who welcome you home to yourself.
The air changes again and this time it is the raw elemental of Earth that imbibes you. She’s all around you, enfolding you deeply into her mamma Gaia arms. She is the primal forest and the sacred land of the Susan B. Anthony Coven Number One’s covenstead. You’ve come home sister.
Upon arrival there is the playful chaos of activities, of women nesting for their weekend’s stay. The women are already socializing and greeting each other. There are an abundance of hugs and warm smiles. Friendships begin forming from the first “hellos.”
You have arrived at the Goddess Festival, into the loving care of Z Budapest who is the original producer of the modern day Goddess Festival. You have come back to your original roots of sisterhood, to your Amazon women.
And now that you stand firmly upon this sacred land, you are glad that you took my advice to “save the date” and make the journey because it’s unlike any other experience you will have in life.
On this sacred land there are women from all over the world. International flavors of ideas, concepts and woman space show themselves in sacred play and self-expression. The women wear a variety of cultural clothing. Some dress in t-shirts and jeans, while others put on elaborate dresses that speak of the Goddess within. All are welcomed. All are beautiful.
And the Festival begins!
Love and praises sing out to the Goddess. Z brings all the sisters together. She tells them about the rituals to come. She tells them their parts in the sacred circle. And the spirituality of women fills the air with voices talking and singing, sharing life experiences and spiritual ideas.
On this weekend, the women will come together in ritual several times. They will enjoy a variety of workshops and musical performances. They will share a communal dining hall enjoying excellent meals prepared by our cooks. And we will also feast on several outdoor barbeques in the warm days of California. We all find the time to play and socialize as maidens, mothers, queens and crones. Good times!
Goddess art and beautiful altars line our dining hall as the vendors proudly display their wares. And a silent auction takes place as a fundraiser for the Women’s Spirituality Forum who sponsors this event to ensure that more Goddess Festivals grace women’s lives on into the future. In fact, the whole Festival is a fundraiser to help the Women’s Spirituality Forum raise awareness for the Dianic tradition and women’s lives. Your Festival fees are tax deductible.
The rituals are powerful! Moving! Intoxicating!
We dance, we sing, we chant, we scream, we drum and we play. Mostly, we empower each other as women as we share the sacred rites of passage of the divine feminine.
And no other place can top the Gaia Bowl. This is the sunken earthen well in which hundreds of women can stand or sit comfortably. Created by the Coastal Native Americans, this is sacred space completely surrounded by towering redwoods. To step onto this land is to know the energies of deeply ancient magic.
Splashes of vibrant colors fill the eye as the maidens, mothers, queens and crones form a processional and descend into the sacred well. The fabric of the women’s ceremonial clothing tells its own spiritual tale as their gowns, robes, capes and various other clothing catch the ancestor’s breeze. In Gaia’s bowl you can dress colorfully and express your inner-goddess, or go skyclad in the spirit of the Amazons.
All acts of love and kindness are Her expression, and it is a weekend filled with the loving spirit of all that women are capable of. Join us this year! Don’t put it off. Sisters need to rejuvenate themselves and each other; it’s vital to our life-force. We need to fill our souls with the magic of ritual and renew our spirit through new friendships.
Mothers bring your daughters! There is no better way to strengthen your bond as women, as family, than to experience a women’s rite of passage together. It’s a divine moment you both will cherish forever.
The Goddess Festival is open to all women-born-women.
Let our women’s prayers be uttered in unison from the sweet melodic voices of hundreds of women. Let the Earth be healed. Let women be healed. Let us all know pure joy in celebrating all that is female.
Come sisters! Come to the Goddess Festival! Come experience women’s rituals with Z Budapest the founding mother of the Women’s spirituality Movement. There is no other High Priestess who can do what Z does in circle. She is magic! And so are you! Join us!
