THREE DAYS · TWO NIGHTS · ONE VILLAGE
A weekend to gather, rest, and rememberwho you are.
Wild Roses began as a potluck in the trees and grew into a matriarchal village of nearly 1,000 women. Each July we gather on the land one hour west of Edmonton to learn, nourish, celebrate and find our people.
A MATRIARCHAL VILLAGE
One village. Every way to bloom.
Wild Roses brings together 1,000 women for three unforgettable days on Treaty 6 territory. Come to be resourced, reskilled, and reconnected — to yourself, to the land, and to one another. Learn from nearly 100 teachers, steep in the Nordic spa, find your quiet among the trees, and dance beneath the stars.
There is no right way to be here. Choose your own adventure, follow what calls to you, and discover what becomes possible when women gather.
