Registration Policies
COVID Policy
Getting together in person is important, but not at the risk of our long-term wellbeing. Last year we did not have any reported cases of Covid after the festival so we will keep our primary safety measure in place.
Attendees will not need to provide proof of vaccinations this year. We believe taking a test on site with negative results will be enough precaution.
Each attendee will take a COVID test (provided by EWF) at the Gatehouse before entering the grounds and before greeting or hugging any other Elderflower attendee. If you test positive, sadly you will not be admitted to the festival. Your registration money will be refunded after the festival.
In addition, we suggest that if possible, you take a test at home before you drive for hours to Mendocino. You will still have to take a test at the festival, but it might save you a trip. If you are positive, or feeling sick, please stay home. You can contact us after the festival, and we will refund your registration money.
As was true for the last two years, this year you will be asked acknowledge this policy to proceed with online registration for the festival. For those who send in a printed form, there is a second page with the policy and a place for your signature.
Goddess Policy
Elderflower Womenspirit Festival is a non-denominational gathering, so women of any spiritual path are welcome to participate.
The very purpose of the festival at it’s origin was to honor the Divine Feminine, however She chooses to manifest in our lives. Our rituals and workshops celebrate the Goddess and the sacredness of nature.
It has been our tradition since 1989 that we do not invoke male deities at Elderflower and we ask the same of all attendees. If your spiritual practice includes male deities, we ask that you do not bring them to the festival.
Registration Fees and cut-off dates
Elderflower has always strived to remain an affordable festival. Due to basic cost increases we have raised the minimum fee this year. Doing this allows the festival to clear seed money for next year and continue into the future.
To assist women of all economic backgrounds, we have a graduated fee structure based on the date you register and make your first payment. This way attendees can pay the cost of the festival over time. For those who register later, the base fee rises. If you register last minute and pay at the door, the fee is full price and you must bring cash.
A number of discounts (see below) are available to help those who need to reduce the cost. Workshop form submission is required to receive discount.
You will not be billed, if you make a down payment. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that FULL payment is received by August 1. The festival accepts checks or payment using PayPal.
