Accepted Answer

Generally, yes. If you have specific accessibility needs, please email info@thesacredfemininerising.org

Yes, but please be responsible and do not allow Baba to challenge you to a scooter race unless it is on unoccupied, flat pavement and there is a referee on hand. 😉

Question 13

Do you offer transportation from the airport, bus or train station?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we try to accommodate any sisters coming from greater distances as best we can. Allentown ABE is the nearest large airport and access to train and bus stations are nearby.

GENERALLY, someone will be coming from either direction to camp and can pick you up. Email us at info@thesacredfemininerising.org with your flight information so we can work together to make arrangements for you.

We ask that you contribute for gas as our volunteers use their private vehicles for transportation services. A suggested contribution is around $15 one way - less if you can't, more if you can.

Accepted Answer

All important information including camp location and directions will be emailed about three weeks before festival (around August 8th, 2025).

Question 17

What should I do if I lost/accidentally deleted my Welcome Letter or haven't received it by August 10th, 2024?

Accepted Answer

If you have not received your Welcome Letter please double check that the email you provided at registration is correct and check your spam folder. If you registered as a group, please check-in with the other people in your group to see if they have received one. If only one email address was provided for your group, only that address will receive a Welcome Letter.

If you have already taken the steps above, and it is after August 15th, 2025, please email info@thesacredfemininerising.org 
This is an extremely busy time for us, so please be patient. We will get back to you!

No. We will have a printout of all registrants at the Welcome Table and access to the internet to track down any problems.

Question 19

Are pets allowed?

Accepted Answer

No. As much as we would love to see your sweetheart, pets are not allowed to come to festival.

Service Animals, including ESAs are allowed, but we must be notified in advance (before you arrive). Please email thesacredfemininerising@gmail.com.

Question 20

Can I stay off-site and commute in each day?

Accepted Answer

Much like a cast circle, we hold our gathering as a spiritual container while we are together and would prefer that womyn do not come and go from the land each day unless absolutely necessary. Commuting disrupts the energy that we invoke.  We are always engaging with each other within the micro-community that is created for these five special days and the moments that happen during scheduled activities and in the spaces in between are essential parts of our connection to one another. If your hesitation to stay on land is a concern that we will not be able to meet a specific accessibility need, please let us know so that we may work together to make sure you feel safe and comfortable. Please email info@thesacredfemininnerising.org to discuss your concerns in private.

Question 21

What if festival is cancelled?

Accepted Answer

We do everything within our power to not allow this to happen, but in the event of unforeseen circumstances that require us to cancel, we will notify everyone as soon as possible by email or whatever means necessary.
