A Glimpse of the Weekend


Saturday: A Day of Connection & Ceremony
Start your morning with our Morning Goddess Breakfast — a nourishing way to gather with fellow sisters before the day's magic begins. Our community will then gather for opening ceremony with Dr. Judy DeRosa, setting intentions for the weekend ahead.  Join us for a special Psychic Reading Gallery with renowned intuitive Kelley Eckhardt, sharing personal messages from loved ones in spirit.  Feel the rhythm of our drum circles, unwind in a sound bath, and gather for our Cacao Ceremonies — a heart-opening ritual.  You won't want to miss this unique offering.


Sunday: Growing in Community & Closing in Sacred Circle
Sunday is a day of harmony as our community continues to gather in the spirit of unity.   With a focus on ancestral connections, you will find opportunities to connect and heal with ancestral lineage and messaging.  Explore and experience the benefits of energy & sound healing.  Release and celebrate through ecstatic movement.  Music fills the air throughout the weekend from the Amigo Stage, including ancient Celtic melodies and chants from the heart.  Two days flowing with divine energy.  Our closing ceremony is a heartfelt send-off to carry the weekend's magic home with you. 


Below is a glimpse of what's in store. Tickets are available now if you would like to secure your space in one of the cacao ceremonies (limited seating).  In the coming weeks, we will share the full weekend schedule!

At the very center of the Yosemite Goddess Festival, you’ll find the gazebo, our Gathering Pavilion is a vibrant hub of activity, creativity, and connection. This welcoming space serves as the festival’s Information Area, where you can find all the details you need about workshops, events, and activities happening throughout the weekend.


The Gathering Pavilion is more than just a place for information—it’s a space where art, ideas, and community come together.



  • Intuitive Nature Walk with Heather Webster @ 12:00 P.M. begins at the Gathering Pavilion.  You will find Heather with her walking stick, ready to take you on a nature walk and discussion about your tapping into nature to guide your intuition.


  • Participate in our Community Book Exchange, where you can share and discover books that inspire, educate, and uplift. Bring a book, take a book, and connect with fellow festival-goers over the love of reading.

  • Feeling creative? We invite you to contribute your to our Quilt Decorating.  Quilt squares will be added to a collective quilt, symbolizing the unity and creativity of our community. All quilt and art materials are provided, making it easy for everyone to contribute their unique touch to this collaborative project.

  • At the heart of the Gathering Pavilion is the Event Altar, a sacred space where you can leave offerings, set intentions, and connect with the spiritual essence of the festival. This altar is a place of reflection and reverence, open to all who wish to honor the energies that guide us.


The Gathering Pavilion is a place of celebration, expression, and communal exchange, embodying the spirit of the Yosemite Goddess Festival. Whether you’re seeking information, inspiration, or a moment of quiet reflection, the Gathering Pavilion is the perfect place to be.
