WHERE YOU’LL BE:

Immersed on 33 gorgeous acres in Fredericktown, Mo, just 90 minutes South of St. Louis, making it accessible for a weekend getaway leaving the hustle and stress behind. Enjoy 12 mile creek, a crystal-clear, spring-fed tributary of the Saint Francois River that runs through the property. It’s filled with beautiful shut-ins, a breathtaking swimming hole, and incredible bluffs!

Expect surprises and many new aspects to this year’s gathering!

CLOTHING SWAP! It's way to purge old belongings and enjoy something "new". It's even fun just playing dress up! So if you are feeling inspired to bring some clothes (or shoes, accessories, swimming suits, ect) we will have an ongoing clothing swap throughout the entire weekend! All items that are left will be donated. And although the intention is to swap out your things, everyone is welcomed to see if something is calling to you even if you come empty handed!

BOUDOIR / EMPOWERMENT PHOTOGRAPHY:
Something that has completely transformed my relationship to my body, my confidence, and how I show up in this world is through embarking into the world of conscious photo shoots! They uncover our true nature and create space to shed the stigma around our sexuality. Step into a pink palace where you have full permission to express your badass, sexy, beautiful, wild, and unique woman that you are! Our photographers are hype queens and will absolutely support you whether you are seasoned or feeling nervous! Opportunity to play dress up (or dress down) with lingerie or whatever vision you have! Full permission to get photographed in literally anything, or nothing, that you wish!
Each woman who participates will receive copies of their photos.

THE WILD WOMAN BEHIND THIS CREATION:
I’m Sara Clover and the creatrix who dreamed this extraordinary event to life! With my extensive background in women’s health, feminine embodiment, and leading retreats domestically and throughout Central America, I’ve began envisioning an event that blends aspects of intentional and intimate retreats with a larger music festival that, of course, revolves around women!
I’ve been that woman with a plethora of health issues such as amenorrhea (lost menstral cycle), chronic anxiety and fatigue, severe constipation, overwhelmed and overstimulated, and so many other “mysterious” health issues. I sought out doctor after doctor and tried hundreds of different things to help my body heal. While some things worked a little, and I still deal with symptoms in cycles (because women are cyclical by nature), I contribute my well-being to learning how to embody myself deeply and the connection to other women. As an advocate for many healing modalities, I am primarily a movement artist expressed through yoga & conscious dance facilitation called Elevated Dance, in which I believe is crucial for health & vitality. Beyond movement, I have been in the healing arts world for over a decade and my philosophy and teachings integrate various healing practices in the pursuit of spiritual development for full embodiment and optimal well-being. My private practice, Elevated Feminine, weaves together the science of hormonal education and energetic awareness for women all over the world through 1:1 or group coaching and intentional retreat experiences.

Coming together with other women will literally change your life.
