Sacred Medicine Sisterhood
Sacred Medicine Sisterhood is a West Michigan–rooted nonprofit where women gather to heal, create, and remember their power—together.
Born from the understanding that community itself is medicine, we meet in many forms: seasonal circles, workshops and ceremonies, creative collaborations, and our signature Wild Woman Weekend held at Wolf Run Wildlife & Spiritual Sanctuary.
What We Do
Our rhythm follows the seasons and the needs of the moment, with the long-term vision of regular circles and year-round offerings.
Each gathering—whether an intimate Red Tent, a grief ritual, an art-filled workshop, or a weekend of song and firelight—is designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit and to remind us that we belong to something larger than ourselves.
Our work includes:
-
Wild Woman Weekend at Wolf Run – a multi-day immersion of music, ritual, and sisterhood where women reconnect with wildness and wonder.
-
Traveling Red Tent – carrying our crimson canopy to festivals and community spaces, sparking healing and inspiring others to create their own sanctuaries.
-
Workshops, ceremonies, and projects that rise from community need and the turning of the year—grief circles, seasonal rites, creative labs, and more.
-
Vending and marketplace events where we offer handcrafted goods and art to help fund Wild Woman Weekend and keep it accessible to all who feel the call.
-
Fundraisers and mutual aid that extend our care outward, supporting women, families, and justice-centered causes.
How We Gather
Our spaces are open and unpretentious.
There are no gurus, hidden fees, or spiritual gatekeepers—just an invitation to arrive as you are, with your stories, your laughter, your grief, and your raw brilliance.
Women of every background, spiritual path, and life stage are welcome.
We value honesty, shared courage, and the deep listening that turns strangers into kin.
What We Stand For
We believe healing and liberation are collective work.
Sacred Medicine Sisterhood exists to help women reclaim agency, strengthen authentic relationships, and imagine a more just and compassionate world.
Activism is woven through everything we do—from raising funds to keep Wild Woman Weekend affordable, to supporting local families in crisis, to standing with movements for equity and dignity.
Sacred Medicine Sisterhood is part ritual circle, part creative collaboration, part grassroots action.
Whether we meet beneath the trees of Wolf Run, in a festival tent, at a market booth, or around a kitchen table, we carry the same vow: to turn grief into holy medicine, to kindle courage and joy, and to remember that the deepest healing is always shared.
Mission
Sacred Medicine Sisterhood is (becoming) a nonprofit sanctuary, providing inclusive spaces where women from diverse paths can heal, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and transform wounds into power. Through trauma-informed practices, sacred ceremony, and nurturing community, we cultivate a feminist, matriarchal sisterhood where every woman is seen, supported, and empowered to reclaim her voice, embody her sovereignty, and contribute to collective liberation and resilience.
Vision
We envision a world where every woman—regardless of path, background, or economic status—feels safe, seen, and sovereign. Through trauma-informed practices and sacred sisterhood, women transform personal and collective wounds into shared strength. Honoring our bodies, stories, and matriarchal traditions, we co-create a community of feminist power and resilience, uplifting women, families, ecosystems, and generations to come.
Values
Sacred Space – We create trauma-informed, inclusive environments where women feel safe, nurtured, and supported to heal, grow, and reconnect with their wisdom.
Sisterhood & Community – We honor the power of women supporting women through deep bonds, witnessing, trust, collaboration and collective empowerment that uplifts and transforms.
Inclusivity & Accessibility – All paths, identities, and stories are celebrated; we actively remove barriers, fostering equity, belonging, and generational impact.
Matriarchal Wisdom – Intuition, embodiment, and ancestral teachings guide women to reclaim their natural wisdom and untamed spirit, and sovereign power..
Healing, Accountability & Love in Action – Through compassionate honesty, conscious boundaries, accountability, integrity and service, we transform wounds into resilience, empowerment, and lasting intergenerational legacy.
