Are you ready to step beyond the veil and immerse yourself in the transformative power of the Divine Feminine?

 

As women, we are the keepers of a sacred wisdom that often gets buried beneath the demands of everyday life. This retreat is a chance to uncover our divine spark, reconnect with our true essence, and unlock the limitless potential of your feminine spirit. This year we are holding our Annual Gathering at Ferry Beach Resort in Maine. We start our retreat on All Hallow’s Eve; the moon is new on November 1st.  It is a very auspicious time for us to be in circle and explore moving beyond what is in front of us. 

​

PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION CAREFULLY

 

Our retreat affords women the chance to participate in a Sacred Circle. There will be a chance to sit in more intimate circles and listen as various topics are discussed affecting GTW and women worldwide. Plenty of time is allotted for meditation, quiet walks, and heartfelt conversations with new and known friends.

​

Here is a small selection of events that you will have the opportunity to participate in:

​

• Costume Dinner (Halloween Spirit)

• Sister Shares 

• Dress as Your Favorite Goddess 

• Drum Circles

• Discussions on seasonal themes: Veils, Death, and Time

• Ritual and Ceremony

• Forest and Beach walks

 

REGISTRATION BEGAN June 25, 2024 

 

The Registration link can be found at https://bit.ly/GTWAG2024

​

Accommodations range from single and double dorm rooms to a limited number of cabin spaces. The dorm rooms have shared bathroom spaces, and are located above our main circle space. There are two ADA rooms available in two of the Cross Cabins listed separately on the registration page. Please leave these open for those who need them. All persons in double rooms will be assigned a roommate. Should you wish to share a room with a particular woman, please note that information is indicated on the registration page, otherwise a sister roommate will be chosen for you. You will have the option to register together as well if you choose to do so.

 

Your registration covers the cost of your room, linens, all programs/rituals, and delicious meals from Thursday dinner through Sunday lunch. The use of all facilities is also included including access to the beach, walking trails and outdoor chapel (if still set up).

 

Women are expected to stay on campus for the entire Retreat except for free time, when women may explore the area or leave in the event of an emergency. This year a “Commuter” option for lodging is offered for anyone close by or Ferry Beach staff who would like to join the Annual Gathering.

​

HOW TO REGISTER:

Annual Gathering October 31- November 3, 2024

​

Registration will close on October 1st

 

Prior to accessing the website please have the following information available:

​

• Name, address, phone number

• Email address

• Emergency Contact

• Roommate preference (check with that person first to obtain their agreement)

• Special dietary needs (gluten-free, vegetarian)

• Form of payment

 

Go to https://bit.ly/GTWAG2024 The website is case sensitive if you type it in on your own.

 

Complete the registration page, as guided. The dates for the event are October 31 - November 3rd. These are the ONLY dates you will be allowed to register for. Additional dates outside of the AG will need to be made through Ferry Beach directly. Those who know who your roommate will be have the choice to complete your registration together (and still pay on different credit cards) or register separately. The Firetenders have already tested this process and it is VERY smooth and easy to navigate. After you complete your registration separately, you will need to contact Kristin at Ferry Beach to put you and your roommate together. This will bring both of your rates down to reflect the pricing of $515 each. Conveners and those who will be receiving a scholarship (more information below) will have their discounts applied manually by Ferry Beach staff. This will be reflected on your account once it has been verified with the AG Firetenders.

 

Pay the appropriate fee. Ferry Beach is handling the registration this year, and your price will be based on your lodging choice. Only 25% of your registration fee is due at the time of registration. The remainder of your payment must be made in full by October 17th.

 

**If you are in a double dorm room, your registration fee will be incorrect initially due to the limitations of the online registration. Your final payment will be amended by September (if not sooner) to reflect that you will be sharing a room. The Deposit will be approximately $162, and your final cost in the Double dorm room (with a roommate) will be approximately $515 plus tax. **

 

You will be asked on TWO occasions to read and agree to their cancellation policy. Gather the Women Global Matrix is not responsible for refunds or cancellations above or beyond this policy.
