Our Purpose

To create a festival for women and girls with a focus on earth-based spirituality and honoring the feminine through the Goddess. We celebrate our spirituality by sharing knowledge, music, arts and ritual. Elderflower is committed to providing a welcoming and empowering environment for all women, including older women, women of all colors, from all cultures, women of all sexual orientations, differently-abled women, women in recovery, and limited income women.
