Explore the Beauty of Yosemite and Experience the Magic of the Yosemite Goddess Festival

Nestled within the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains, the Yosemite Valley is a place of breathtaking natural beauty that draws visitors from all over the world. From the towering granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome to the majestic waterfalls and ancient sequoia trees, Yosemite National Park is a true celebration of the natural world. Whether you’re hiking through its forests, gazing at the star-filled skies, or simply taking in the peaceful energy of the landscape, Yosemite offers a chance to reconnect with the Earth.

This year, your visit to the Yosemite area can be even more special with the Yosemite Goddess Festival, a celebration of spirituality, community, and the powerful connection to nature that the Yosemite region inspires. Held on October 5th & 6th at the Mariposa County Fairgrounds, this two-day event is designed to honor the divine energy that surrounds us and help visitors connect more deeply with both themselves and the natural world.


A Festival of Connection and Celebration

The Yosemite Goddess Festival invites attendees to embrace the harmony of the natural cycles and the divine feminine energy that is ever-present in the world around us. With a lineup of workshops, ceremonies, live music, and sacred spaces, the festival provides a space for creativity, personal growth, and reflection, all while basking in the beauty of the Yosemite landscape.

Visitors can look forward to activities like:

  • Outdoor yoga sessions and ecstatic dance at the serene Sacred Grounds
  • Cacao ceremonies and sound baths that allow for deep connection with the spirit and body
  • Powerful workshops on topics such as herbal magic, manifestation, ancestral wisdom, and vocal alchemy
  • Engaging musical performances at the Goddess Music Stage, featuring folk, country, and bluesy rock artists who infuse their music with the rhythms of the Earth


Workshops & Presentations

This year’s festival will feature over 28 hours of workshops and presentations led by inspiring thought leaders from around the world. Highlights include:

  • "Chronicles of a Medium" with Fernanda Borja (Mexico) – Explore the beauty and healing that comes from connecting with loved ones who have passed on.
  • "Herbal Magic" with Patricia Gallet – Discover the powerful properties of a local herb and learn how to incorporate its magic into your daily life.

Temple of Apollo – A Space for Men’s Transformation

New to this year’s festival is the Temple of Apollo, a space devoted to the divine masculine. Men are invited to explore personal growth, purpose, and strength through the Iron & Heart: Mastering Mind and Character series. This series offers seminars and workshops where men can engage in deep conversations with Wise Elders, explore intimate relationships, and learn to listen to and honor women. The Temple of Apollo is a sacred space for men to reflect, grow, and connect with others on a journey of self-discovery.


More Than a Festival – A Gateway to Yosemite’s Wonders

Attending the Yosemite Goddess Festival offers the perfect opportunity to explore the Yosemite National Park before or after the event. Just a short drive from the Mariposa County Fairgrounds, visitors can experience the grandeur of the park’s iconic landmarks, such as Yosemite Falls, Glacier Point, and the tranquil Merced River. Whether you’re an avid hiker or simply want to enjoy the scenic beauty, Yosemite’s trails and vistas are sure to leave you in awe.

The combination of experiencing the Goddess Festival and exploring Yosemite National Park offers a holistic journey of discovery—one that honors both the external beauty of nature and the internal journey of personal growth.
