Women's Web Gathering - May 22 - 24, 2026

The Women’s Web Gathering is a powerful ceremony celebrating inner strength and the dynamic energy that happens when women come together in ceremony. 

Webs are significant because they demonstrate how energy can ripple outward and spread across an entire area, starting from just a small vibration.  

Women sharing their stories and teachings act much like roots, mycelium, and other web-like structures. These have living, moving energy that communicates and spreads awareness to one another.   

Heather Robinson is a former Long Dance and Women’s Web of Life dancer. She was co-chief of the Web of Life Dance and was led by guidance to create the Women’s Web Gathering. In this gathering, teachers and women come together to create the ceremony.  

This weekend, we carry on the centuries-long tradition of women gathering with stories,  teachings, and knowledge so that we can work on healing together. When  we work on healing ourselves, it ripples outward into our community.  By changing the vibrations that are going out to cleaner, more efficient  ones of peace and harmony, we impact the world around us and attract people looking to do the same. It is necessary to cleanse low self-esteem, trauma, and pain in order to send out good energy and become a beacon for others.  

Together, we will release old patterns and work to break those patterns. By healing the past, we are able to heal the future and future generations.   

Join  us May 22nd – 24th for this gathering. 

We  will not be fasting and will have the wonderful support of men cooking  meals for us. Everyone will be staying on property, (unless other  arrangements are made with the chief), so bring proper supplies.
