Our Story
The Sacramento Goddess Festival grew from the roots of our first gathering—the Yosemite Goddess Festival. Originally envisioned as an intimate event for a few hundred people to explore conversations around the divine feminine, community, and unity during a time of great societal division, the response quickly surpassed our expectations.
As we planned, the interest grew—first to 500 attendees, then 1,000—and by the end of the festival, we had welcomed more than 1,800 people. They came eager to connect in community, to celebrate through music and ritual, to learn in educational workshops, to share in teachings and exchanges, to join in drum circles, yoga, dancing, and thought leadership.
We quickly realized we were not alone in our hunger for an authentic space brimming with opportunities for connection—from divination classes and group discussions to celebrations, art, and creative expression.
That realization sparked our journey to Sacramento, the City of Trees. We wanted to bring an event that celebrates unity and community to our state capital. The result was the same—a vibrant, welcoming gathering of people ready to show up, exchange ideas, and share their gifts.
From that first spark in Yosemite to our growing festival family in Sacramento, our mission remains the same: to create a space where progressive ideas rooted in ancient wisdom can flourish, where diversity is celebrated, and where every attendee can both learn from others and offer their own unique gifts to the circle.
