It takes a village...

The Temple of Belonging is not just a gathering—it’s a village, a cultural skill building, a place of remembering, a respite. It is place where we find each other again, across time, across stories, across all that has tried to keep us separate. It is the work of many hands, many hearts, many voices coming together to create something that feels like home. It's a place to put down our armor, to the best of our abilities, and receive the gift of each other, right here, right now, as is, in this moment.

On the ground, we are many moving parts, creating a woman powered and centered village to create the conditions, as best we can, that support the inner and outer cultivation of belonging. The Temple of Belonging is a five day immersion designed to cultivate deep community, cultural repair, and regenerative leadership among women in the Pacific Northwest.

Our gathering includes:

Curated workshops, ceremonies, and skill shares led by local and regional facilitators
Spa and wellness offerings, healing arts, and restorative spaces
Daily song circles, emergent connection spaces, and integration rituals
Three nourishing, locally sourced meals per day
A partners marketplace featuring women owned businesses and aligned sponsors
A tattoo parlor and creative activation spaces
Dedicated Kids Camp, Girls Camp, and a Mama’s Den to support mothers and families
Nightly fire circles, creek swimming, forest trails, and epic sprawling land for rest and reflection
A coffee corner and communal gathering hubs
High quality amenities, clean facilities, and thoughtfully designed infrastructure
As well as dedicated affinity spaces for our BIPOC and LGBTQ communities

What we offer is not simply programming, but an emergent ecosystem. A temporary village where connection, creativity, healing, and leadership intersect in embodied ways.

Welcome, kin. Your presence matters. Your story matters. You are not too much, and you are not alone.

Kids & Girls Camp

Children (ages 0-15) are welcome to join TOB through enrollment in our Kids & Girls Camp.
Boys under the age of 6 are welcome.

Babies & Mama's Lounge (0-18 months) is a fully equipped and dedicated place always open for mamas with babies to come and rest, breastfeed, nap, get support from our doula team and have a dedicated space to slow down and be nourished.

Kids Camp (ages 18mos-6 years) offers 7 hours of professionally staffed childcare each day, providing a safe and creative environment for little ones while allowing mamas to fully participate in workshops, rituals, and yoga. This ensures a clear and intentional space for the depth of programming while giving mothers the freedom to drop in, connect, and receive.

Guided by wise and caring mentors, Girls Camp (ages 7-13) will weave together play, storytelling, creativity, and embodied practices that support young women in stepping into their strength, confidence, and self-expression. Through ritual, nature connection, and shared experience, they will be invited into deeper self-awareness while being supported in a community of peers and elders who see them, honor them, and celebrate their journey.

The Temple of Belonging Marketplace

A living marketplace of makers, artisans, and medicine women offering handcrafted goods infused with heart, tradition, and intention. This space exists to uplift women owned businesses, with care toward BIPOC and local creators rooted in our bioregion.

All weekend, the Marketplace hums with pottery, textiles, herbal remedies, ritual tools, art, adornments, books, and handmade creations. Each offering carries a story. Each exchange supports a living vision.

Vending is reserved for Temple sponsors and community partners as a way of honoring those who invest in this gathering. The Marketplace becomes an ecosystem of mutual support rather than a general vendor fair.

We also welcome a small number of food and beverage partners to nourish the community throughout the weekend.

Meals and Nourishment:

At The Temple of Belonging, food is not just fuel, but as medicine, communion, and a sacred act of care. We believe that nourishment is an essential part of the healing process, and we honor the bodies of the women who gather here by offering meals that are deeply intentional, vibrant, and crafted with love.

Three times a day, we gather to eat, to receive, and to be nourished, together. Our meals are designed to be organic, nutrient-dense, and deeply satisfying, free from gluten and dairy, with thoughtful consideration for modern allergens and food sensitivities. Every bite is an offering, prepared with reverence for the land, the farmers, and the hands that bring it to life.

We also proudly serve high-quality animal protein at least once per day, honoring the ancestral wisdom of balance and sustenance.

At the heart of this nourishment are our brilliant head chefs, Adrienne Hasler and Aleya Burg, whose artistry in the kitchen transforms each meal into an experience of belonging. Their culinary vision ensures that every woman who sits at our table is not just fed—but truly nourished, tended to, and held.

Because here, is part of the ritual, part of the medicine, part of what makes this gathering so deeply whole and totally nourishing!

We will be lovingly fed by Head Chefs Adrienne Hasler and Aleya Love
