Village Prenatal

Village Prenatal is a reclamation of birth, back to community, back into the hands and the hearts of those who are the tribe of her belonging.

Carrying on the tradition of Sister MorningStar, we gather around the pregnant mothers, no matter where they plan to birth, how they plan to birth or with whom they plan to birth. We gather around them because they carry the future of humanity. They are the Holy Mothers. We shower them with our finest foods and make them a place of honor. We oil their feet and tell them positive birth stories.

Song Circle

Start your morning off in song and community with our morning song circles.

Community Meals

We offer three meals per day where the entire festival eats together. This is a sweet opportunity to remember the old ways of communal living, to share in conscious eating of incredibly delicious and nourishing food, and to connect with the women around you the way we always have - talking our hearts out over a good meal. Sit beside each other, professional hats and labels aside, and just be, as women. This is where lifelong friendships are made!

Bonfire

Another famous MRF tradition, the bonfire is one of the ways we open the festival on the first day. Women come together to build a giant community bonfire throughout the day, and when the sun goes down, the flames fly high! We sing songs by the fire, dance naked under the Summer stars, play drums, howl at the moon, and let our witchy spirits run wild and free.
