Sakred Circles Festival
The Beating Heart of Sola Soma
Sakred Circles is a women’s festival held each summer on the land near Hudson’s Hope, British Columbia. For one weekend, women step away from the weight of daily life and into a circle that offers renewal, rest, and joy. The festival is a tapestry of workshops, ceremonies, music, creativity, and stillness. Some moments are vibrant and full of song, others are hushed and deeply tender.
Every woman finds her own rhythm here.
The land itself is part of the experience. The forest, the lake, and the wide sky create a setting where you can exhale fully and feel your body soften. There is a marketplace where artisans and healers share their gifts, and there are gathering spaces that hold both laughter and tears. You can move with the circle, or step aside for quiet when you need it. Sakred Circles is shaped by choice, freedom, and presence.
What women speak of most when they leave is the feeling of community. The friendships, the stories, the way the circle holds every part of us with compassion and care. This is what brings women back year after year—the chance to belong fully, to be seen without judgment, and to know that together we create something far greater than ourselves.
From this living pulse, Sola Soma was born. Sola Soma is the home that holds the spirit of Sakred Circles all year long. It is a community that continues beyond the festival, a place where women can return for guidance, companionship, and shared growth. Through daily practices, group conversations, and ongoing offerings, Sola Soma carries the essence of the circle into everyday life.
The festival is the heart. Sola Soma is the body that carries that heart forward. Together they create a path of community, sisterhood, connection, healing, and empowerment.
We invite you to be a part of the circle. Let yourself be held by the land and the women who gather there. And when the weekend closes, Sola Soma is where the circle continues—where support, sisterhood, and community remain steady through every season of our lives.

Sakred Circles
Sakred Circles is a women’s festival in the Peace region of Northern British Columbia. For one long weekend each summer, women gather at Cameron Lake near Hudson’s Hope to rest, reconnect, create, and remember themselves in good company. The circle holds workshops, ceremony, music, gentle movement, and unhurried time on the land. Every woman moves at her own pace. Some begin the day in quiet practice by the water. Others wander through the village to meet artisans and healers. Many spend long afternoons in circles where stories are welcome and tenderness is a strength.
Where it happens
The festival takes place at the Cameron Lake Outdoor Education Centre on the north shore of Cameron Lake. The setting is boreal forest, lake light, log buildings, and soft trails that invite you to breathe more deeply. The venue has space to gather, to sleep, and to step outside whenever you need the sky.
How the weekend flows
Gates open on Friday afternoon. There is time to arrive, settle, and exhale. The opening ceremony gathers the circle in the early evening and the first offerings begin. Saturday carries a full rhythm of workshops and circles, with the marketplace and the Healers Village open for sessions and readings. Saturday night turns toward celebration, with music that welcomes you to dance under the stars and glow with your sisters. Sunday continues with offerings in the morning and closes at midday with a ceremony that seals the work with gratitude and care.
What you can take part in
Each ticket includes access to all scheduled workshops and presentations for the weekend. You can join community circles in the morning to ground and connect, choose yoga or a sound bath to begin your day, lean into creative expression, and sit with teachings that meet you where you are. In the evenings there are communal music moments and time to gather by shared light if conditions allow. The atmosphere is spacious. You choose what calls you and you rest when you need to.
Healers Village and Marketplace
Throughout the weekend you can meet mystics and healers who offer one and one sessions, including tarot and other oracle readings. The Healers Village is a cluster of welcoming tents with comfortable spaces to sit and receive. Nearby, the marketplace features women artisans and creators. Cash is helpful and there is some opportunity for digital payments.
Sleeping on the land
Your ticket includes accommodations. You can pre book a bunk in a log dormitory for a simple, cozy sleep. You can camp in the adjacent campground and ride the regular shuttle back and forth during the weekend. If you hold a VIP ticket, you may camp in the field area inside the festival grounds. Many women say that waking up to the trees, the lake air, and the soft morning light becomes part of the medicine of the weekend.
Food and fires
Catering packages are avail as an add-on to your ticket. These are wholesome nutrisious meals often including local and organic ingredients. If not purchasing the catering package, please be prepared to bring your own food for the weekend. There will not be food vendors on site. Campfires follow provincial conditions. If a fire is permitted, there will be a single communal fire for gathering. Personal fires are not allowed on the grounds. Propane fire bowls are welcome with care.
Practical care
The festival welcomes nursing mothers with infants up to two years old. The broader container is designed for women and teens from about thirteen and up so that mothers can truly claim a weekend for themselves. Please leave pups at home. A first aid attendant is present and the team stewards the grounds with safety in mind so you can soften your shoulders and settle into the work you came for.
Access, tickets, and volunteering
Many women choose to come for the full weekend to receive the full arc of opening, immersion, and closing. Day passes may be offered if that is what fits your life. If finances are a barrier, you can volunteer and receive a full reimbursement of your ticket in exchange for a small amount of your time before, during, or after the event. Sponsors and community partners help keep this gathering accessible. A portion of proceeds supports local women’s services, and each year the circle sponsors tickets for women who would benefit from attending.
The feeling you take home
Again and again, women describe the feeling of leaving nourished, connected, and steady. The land helps. The program helps. Most of all, the women help. In the circle you are witnessed without pressure to perform. You are invited to laugh, to cry, to be quiet, to dance, to write, to share, to listen. The friendships that begin here often follow you home and become part of your everyday courage.
