Welcome to the
Women's Village
The Women’s Village is a space for all bodies who have (or once had for our sisters with a hysterectomy), a physical womb including non-binary and femme bodied beings.
It is an intentional gathering space for us to come together in the sacredness of sisterhood.
A safe space where all of you is welcome, the wild and the wounded.
It is a place to reflect, honor and remember what it is to be a woman.
A hub for education and empowerment of the divine feminine.
We gather to connect to the inherent wisdom and intuitive nature of our being and attune to the
cyclical wisdom of our bodies.
It is a nurturing and supportive sanctuary that fosters deep connection to our sisters and the earth.
Respect is our foundation
We remember the ancient wisdom of all womb carriers encoded in our DNA.
We are awakening, we are healing, we are coming together as one, in Unison.
The Moon Lodge is the heart of the Women’s Village, the collective womb of Unison.
It exists as a place of rest, nourishment, and support for our sisters who are bleeding, while remaining open to all women, whether actively cycling or not.
Women in every season of life are welcome here, including those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, in menopause, experiencing amenorrhea, living without a uterus, or not bleeding for any other reason.
The Moon Lodge is a space to soften, be held, and return to the wisdom of the body.
The Moon Lodge began as a vision and has evolved into a village....
During my first moon time retreat in 2012, I received a clear vision of creating a modern-day Red Tent, a space where women could gather, rest, bleed, be witnessed, and return to the wisdom of their bodies.
For years, I created my own Moon Lodge space at home, carving out time to retreat, listen, and be in ceremony during my moon. But the vision of creating this kind of space on a larger scale stayed with me.
In 2020, I held a Red Tent workshop at a festival in Southern Colorado, which became the seed for the first Moon Lodge at Unison Festival in September 2021.
Finally, the vision was made manifest and birthed into form
The Moon Lodge was born from the desire to create a safe, nourishing space for bleeding sisters and women at the festival. A place to rest, be held, dream, vision, receive support from other women, and simply be.
Over the years, the Moon Lodge has continued to grow and evolve, eventually becoming what is now the Women’s Village.
What began as a resting place for women has become an anchor point for the entire festival. A space of nourishment, connection, remembrance, and grounded feminine presence within the larger field of transformational community.
"A beautiful, nurturing, safe haven for women/sisters. I found respite, sisterhood, freedom and authentic love! "
Why Call it a Moon Lodge?
The name Moon Lodge is inspired by ancient traditions in which women gathered during their bleeding time to rest, renew, and be in the company of other women.
In many earth-based cultures, menstruation was not seen as something to hide or push through, but as a sacred time of heightened intuition, connection, dreaming, and restoration.
The Moon Lodge was a place where women could step away from daily responsibilities and enter a space of nourishment, ceremony, prayer, visioning, and care — not only for themselves, but for the wellbeing of the larger community.
Using the name Moon Lodge is a way to honor the wisdom of these traditions, the sacredness of the menstrual cycle, and the importance of creating spaces where women can gather, rest, listen, and remember their connection to the earth, their bodies, and one another
The Women's Village
at Unison Fest
SEPTEMBER 10th-13th, 2026
TICO TIME RESORT, AZTEC NM
The Women's Village is currently held every year at Unison Fest, a four day transformational conscious festival filled with music, art, dance, performances, workshops, vendors, ecstatic dance, ceremony, moon lodge, men's lodge, yoga, connection to the land,
community and more!
Rumor has it that it's the best festival!
The healing that takes place within the Women’s Village is profound.
The energy is palpable. Year after year, I find myself moved to tears, covered in full-body chills, and reminded with absolute clarity: this is why I do this.
Together, we are remembering the sacred feminine ways that were never truly lost — only buried, waiting to be reclaimed.
We are restoring temple spaces that honor the cycles of the body, the wisdom of women, and the creative force that brings all of life into form.
We walk in reverence for the ones who came before us, honoring the ancient ways while tending to what is needed now.
The Women’s Village is a space of remembrance, restoration, and return.
" This is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen at a festival! I feel so seen and I appreciate that this space has been activated here. Please keep doing what you do. Your contribution is SO valued. A space like this should exist at every festival! "
