✨ Overview

Join us for a transformative weekend weaving together myth, movement, drumming, song, and ancestral remembrance. Inspired by the story of Lilith and her rebirth into the Garden of Eden—the forgotten, demonized feminine—we step into empowerment, reclaiming the parts of ourselves once cast into shadow.

Through the sacred drumbeat, we journey together from darkness to light, alchemizing shame into freedom, and remembering the wholeness of our expression.

🌑🌸 Saturday Night: Lilith & the Serpent in the Garden of Eden

September 27 | 7:30–10:00pm

Women only

This is not a drum class--it is a ceremony.

A 3-hour ceremony honoring the dark feminine and her rebirth into the light. Through drumming, primal movement, ceremonial experiencing, and voice, we descend into our deepest inner workings to reclaim the wisdom and power hidden within.

Women's Primal Drumming Ceremonies begin with a ritual theater performance by a divine 13 women, move into cacao and meditation, activate through the voice, chanting, and intentional throat chakra exploration, and move into primal movement, wild woman djembe drumming, and deep expression. At the end, we lay in deep opening and receive the messages that come through. Full opening and release.

This ceremony will be themed after the myth of Lilith and the Garden of Eden.

Lilith was seen as the misunderstood and shamed dark feminine, asked to leave the Garden of Eden by Adam after wondering why she was not seen as his equal. But what if she was simply too powerful for her time? In this experience we will transmute societal conditioning and shine light on all parts of us to express as our WHOLE selves.

We will:

* Descend into our shadow realms and shine LIGHT on them

    * Express our primal selves through voice and movement

    * Alchemize shame/societal conditioning with the drum

    * Drum WILDLY & meditatively

    * Reclaim drumming as our BIRTHRIGHT

• Attire: Vibrant, solid-colored flowy clothing to represent our multifaceted nature as women

• Doors & Vendor Garden: 6:30–7:30pm

• Bring: Water bottle, djembe or shamanic drum if you have one

Cacao by Camila Cóndor of Medicine Wombyn Cacao-Camila will serve cacao from her own company in a ceremony of integrity and love

Visionary art by Rox Cousino-we will be intentionally connecting with paintings by Rox throughout the ceremony to anchor in points of intention and expansion

"Sacred Stars Village is a circle where we remember the ways of our ancestors and plant those seeds in your heart. Here, we gather the women, share our voices, commune with cacao together, and hold grief & praise circles where every tear and every prayer is welcome.

We teach the old skills: making fire, singing to the plants, traditional arts, crafts, games, and cooking from the heart. We gather through the seasons, offering stories, dances, and lessons so our children — and their children’s children — can walk in balance and beauty with Mother Earth. With gratitude and respect for all life, we build this place not just for ourselves, but for the faces yet to come — rooted in prayer, song, and the spirit of service."

Medicine Wombyn Cacao

Medicine Wombyn Cacao is more than a project—it is a prayer in motion, a remembrance of the sacred, and a bridge between worlds. Born from the heart of a woman walking the path of healing, this offering brings forth ceremonial-grade cacao sourced directly from the ancestral lands of Valle del Cauca, Colombia—the same region where our founder was born. Every block is crafted with devotion—infused with intention, song, and the spirit of reciprocity. We partner directly with indigenous and local farmers, ensuring that our work uplifts the communities who have tended these sacred lands and traditions for generations.

By honoring their wisdom and supporting their livelihoods, we help preserve both culture and ecosystem. Rooted in Earth-honoring values, we box our cacao in biodegradable, compostable packaging—because how we give matters as much as what we give. Our commitment is not just to sustainability, but to sacred stewardship. Medicine Wombyn Cacao is an invitation—to soften, to remember, to reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth and the intelligence of the heart. May this cacao be a companion on your path of healing, awakening, and devotion.
