What we do

It is the mission of Soulstead Sanctuary to be a spiritual community of women who act as caretakers of the land and seek to pass on these skills to generations of women. By holding festivals, workshops and opportunities to live on the land we hold space for women’s healing and wisdom, while also reaching back through the centuries to bring forth the Goddess worship of our ancestors. We as a sisterhood are guided by an unshakable faith and trust in ourselves, Goddess, and the land we protect.
