Ruthven Sands Community Coven

This is a weekend Goddess only gathering to enrich, empower and inspire each other. We will spend the weekend learning from each other and sharing our thoughts and light. There will be several workshop topics that will be discussed and instructionals where and when possible. Learn all natural first aid tips, keeping balanced and focused with family and work, never giving up on your goals, gemstones that are great for women as well as how to use them and more! 
We will kick off the weekend with a wine and cheese social on Friday night. Bring a bottle of your fave wine to share! We will sit around the fire and discuss life after as we sip our wine. Feel free to bring your drums and let the beat of your heart roam the woods freely! 
We will have a few female vendors including various readers on site during the weekend so please make sure you visit their booths. 
Saturday will begin with a community continental breakfast followed by workshops. We will have free time at lunch to explore or fellowship (please bring lunch food for you and your party). After lunch, feel free to explore covenstead grounds. Wade in the river, catch some rays on the bank or wander along the river and into the woods. Natural quartz and coal are found all over the grounds as well as shells and lots of wildlife! 
The afternoon brings more informative workshops and demonstrations before dinner! 
Dinner time brings more free fellowship. Bring a covered side dish/dessert for feast (reheating will be possible using a fire and grill). We will take time to allow our food to settle and then it's time for realigning and centering ourselves with a meditaion ritual!

We will wrap up the evening with drumming (bring yours!!) and dancing (around the fire...some nudity may occur so do not be surprised....please do not feel pressured to participate should other women decide to go skyclad. This is a loving and free environment and we embrace all body types as well as first-timers. We are all women and we are all beautiful and perfect!!!) as we let our women selves be women!!!!
We will rest wrapped in the loving and encouraging energies of each other. We will weave our special magick and embrace our inner GODDESS!
On Sunday morning we will rise and shine and begin returning to real life but we will be centered, recharged, strengthened and empowered through the light and love of not only ourselves but from our fellow Goddesses. A light breakfast will be available for those interested. 
We will post the full menu that will be provided soon!
This event has limited space. Please register early so your place is guaranteed!
Camping is primitive. Limited power will be available at the main circle area, feast area and stage. Water is available from the river. The entire area where we will be camping is fairly deep sand. This might help with comfort for those concerned. This is nature so there is wildlife wandering around including snakes. We give all of nature the right of way and have not experienced any problems to date. 
Bring your essentials that make you comfortable. Bring drinks, snacks, lunch for Saturday and any medications that you need. If you require your medications to be refrigerated, we will make arrangements for that as you check in. Please specify this in the notes section when you register.
Must be 21 years old or older to attend due to wine social.
This is a safe place where we can discuss all issues. Anything discussed will be kept confidential within the circle of those who attend. Please know that you will not be ridiculed or harrassed in any way for your feelings or for what you share during this special and sacred weekend. What happens at GEW stays at GEW!!
