This year's theme is Ocean Ma.
 

Ocean Ma is dedicated to water as mother: forgiving and unforgiving, cleansing and dangerous, nourishing and accountable. Water sustains life, carries memory, shapes landscapes, and connects us across generations, geographies, and histories.

​

At its heart, Ocean Ma is an exploration of the feminine divine; not as gender, but as a force. The force that creates, nurtures, protects, transforms, grieves, remembers, and endures. Across cultures, water has long been revered as a source of life and wisdom, a keeper of stories, a vessel of healing, and a reminder that we belong to something larger than ourselves.

This year's gathering invites us to consider what it means to be held by the tide: to move with cycles of abundance and loss, to honor intuition and interdependence, and to recognize our responsibility to one another and to the natural world.

 

Our guiding reflection this year is:
 

What we take disappears.
What we ignore persists.
What we love changes us.
