About MEDICINE WOMAN
women empowering women - connecting to land - sisterhood
reciprocity - transformation
A Medicine Woman is a traditional healer, spiritual guide, and keeper of ancient wisdom and connected to nature's natural medicines and cycles. She is often associated with original indigenous people and knowledge, who works with herbs, the wisdom of the body, energy, and spiritual practices to heal the imbalances in mind, body, and spirit. She is viewed as a visionary and seer who connects deep knowledge of traditions with, at times, supernatural powers. Women are the gatekeepers between all realms and life itself. It is our intention to help the remembrance and support women back home to their intuitive power.
Medicine Woman is a gentle remembering: of sisterhood, of belonging, of our wild and tender nature entwined in Earth and Ancestral Wisdom. A place to weave ourselves back into the collective and remember the medicine that lives within us all.

Founder - Lucy Wylde
Medicine Woman Gatherings was born from a life of listening and a deep initiation into early menopause by the age of 31.
Founded by Lucy Wylde, this work is rooted in a deeper call of what happens when women gather and how the power of our healing when we come together is something that’s unfathomable to anything that has been experienced in her lifetime before and yet the deeper the call, the more uncovering we experience within ourselves and each other.
Lucy is a musician, a space-holder, breath worker and weaver of women’s gatherings, creating earth inspired sanctuaries where women can soften, reconnect and remember themselves in one of the oldest ways of communing, through a village. Her path has been shaped by lived-experience, sensitivity, and a devotion to ancestral and embodied ways of knowing.
She walks between the modern world and older rhythms, weaving together music, movement, ritual and conversation to create spaces that feel safer and alive.
Medicine Woman is Lucy’s response to a quiet but persistent call; to re-weave the village, to honour and bring back the respect for our grandmothers and to offer women a space to lay down their armour and return to their deepest self.
ABOUT
Our Annual Gathering
For generations, our ancestors envisioned a time when women and daughters would gather in sacred circles— reconnecting with the wild, nurturing wisdom that lies deep within. Today, Medicine Woman invites you to return to your roots and embrace the power of sisterhood in a transformative, co-creative sanctuary.
Here, beneath an open sky, Medicine Woman aims to bring a wealth of inspiration by blending modern and ancient arts, crafts, dance, music, and enlightening talks.
This journey gently awakens the wild and innate wisdom within every woman, allowing her to embrace her inner beauty and unlock her profound inner knowing.
Imagine stepping onto the soft soil, feet bare upon the earth, the sound of women singing in circle, the warmth of the fire, a gentle touch from the sisters each side of you as we weave and mend ourselves back together, to wholeness, to our soft and wild nature, awakening to our sovereign medicine in complete harmony with the earth.
This gathering is not just an event—it’s a return to the village. It’s a heartfelt call to lay down your armour and remember the medicine that lives within you, nurtured by the legacy of our grandmothers, the ancient ones. In this sacred space, every woman is invited to step into her power, weaving her sorrows into golden threads of connection and hope.
"The wild woman is the one who knows how to live and thrive in the darkest of times, and how to find the light in the darkest places." --Clarissa Estes Pinkola
Step onto this sacred soil and reawaken the wild essence within you as we, as women, rekindle our profound connection with the Earth. Here, we embrace her wisdom and rediscover the art of living in harmony, reestablishing our sacred bond with our Earth Mother and relearning the dance of reciprocity. Because Medicine Woman is more than just a gathering; it's a journey of self-discovery and remembrance. As we immerse ourselves in the sisterhood and connect with our greatest mother, the Earth, we open the door to a world of endless possibilities.
Join us in reclaiming the wisdom of our ancestors. Step into the circle, reawaken your wild essence, and reconnect with the earth and with one another. Together, we will weave a tapestry of healing, empowerment, and love—reminding us that we are not alone, but a vibrant, living collective that is creating a herstory to remember.

it's how you understand my heart
as though you carry it
in your body” --Rupi Kaur
