The Sakred Circles Women's Festival began as a shared dream between Elly Hamilton, host of the *Where the Wild Women Grow* podcast and Lorenne H. Tilson of Wisdom Wild Herbal. Through their connection, they realized that we both held a vision to create a sacred space where women could gather, connect, and grow in deep and meaningful ways. Together, they lovingly curated the first year of the festival. After trying on several names, they eventually landed on *Where the Wild Women Grow*, a tribute to Elly's podcast.

Where the Wild Women Grow festival was nothing short of magical! It was a transformative experience that left an undeniable impact on all who attended. The energy of healing, growth, and connection that filled the space created a ripple effect that extended far beyond the weekend. It was clear that something powerful had been birthed. Though Elly has since stepped aside to focus on raising her wholesome and beautiful family, the dream was too profound to let go. We knew that this festival needed to continue and grow—year after year.

Becky Mercereau partnered with Lorenne as co-creator, and brings true passion for the outcome. She values the positive changes that we see in the community and strives to create this safe space where sisterhood flourishes. We’ve since grown a team of incredible, passionate individuals who work tirelessly to bring this festival to life each year. The festival, now called Sakred Circles, Is not just a festival—it’s a movement, a gathering that has become an annual beacon of empowerment, healing, and sisterhood.

What makes Sakred Circles so special is the way it impacts women at every stage of life. We honor our crones, the wise women who come to share their hard-earned wisdom, offering their stories and guidance to the next generation. We provide a space for mothers to pause, reconnect with themselves, and be held in the supportive arms of the community. And we celebrate our maidens, the young women who represent the future, the fresh growth of our collective sisterhood.

Year after year, this festival brings women together in ways that are life-changing. It is a space where we shed our burdens, where we rise together, where we remember our power and our sacred connection to one another. And the impact of this gathering doesn’t end when the festival is over—it ripples out into our communities, creating waves of positive change that can be felt long after we’ve packed up our tents.

Sakred Circles now happens every year, growing stronger and more impactful with each passing season. This festival has become a staple in our community—a source of healing, empowerment, and transformation. And as we continue to grow, we’re committed to expanding our reach—offering scholarships, supporting other organizations, and creating even more opportunities for women to step into their power.

Imagine a world where women come together every year to share their stories, to support one another, to heal and grow. This is *Sakred Circles*. And the best part? It’s only getting better. Every year, we gather again, ready to hold space for one another, ready to grow, ready to transform. And we invite you to be part of this sacred journey with us.
