Cultivating the Intentional Feminine Returns to Central New York for Its Most Expansive Event Yet
Three-Day Conference and Retreat to be Held September 11-13, 2026 at The Gauger House & Fay Flower + Food Farm in Hannibal, NY
HANNIBAL, NY -- Cultivating the Intentional Feminine, Central New York's premier holistic wellness conference and retreat, returns this fall for a landmark three-day experience dedicated to radical self-liberation, deep community, and authentic feminine wisdom. Created by Cycle Alchemist and holistic wellness educator Tere Marie, the 2026 event will be held September 11-13 at The Gauger House & Fay Flower + Food Farm, 42 Keller Road, Hannibal, NY.
Now in its annual tradition, Cultivating the Intentional Feminine has grown into one of the most distinctive and community-driven wellness events in the region -- part build-your-own-retreat, part holistic networking event, and part celebration of femme-forward businesses, healers, creators, and makers. This year's event marks its most expansive format to date, expanding to a full three-day weekend with on-site camping, more than 30 speakers and facilitators, a vendor and artisan market, an intuitive fair, and a Saturday farm-to-table lunch.
"We believe that within each of us is the ability to heal and grow into our highest potential," said Tere Marie, Creator of Cultivating the Intentional Feminine. "We believe that in order to do so, we must anchor into our deepest nature and truest selves -- and into community."
A Truly Inclusive Experience
Cultivating the Intentional Feminine is an inclusive event that welcomes all who are called to explore, celebrate, and deepen their relationship with feminine wisdom -- regardless of gender identity or expression. While the event's roots are grounded in womb wisdom and femme-forward community, organizers recognize and honor that not all people interested in this work are assigned female at birth or identify as women. All are welcome here.
A Weekend of Transformation
The 2026 event opens Friday, September 11 with the Boujiee Siren Soiree, an evening gathering featuring an Herbal Mocktail and Lifting Libations Workshop and Tasting Experience, a somatic Dance Floor Church ceremony led by Tere Marie and Shanna Fiorucci, and a tapas-style dinner by She Fancy Catering. Friday evening will also feature a special presentation by Alex Canavan, Founder of CNY Women's Network, on "Cultivating a Collective."
Saturday, September 12 serves as the heartbeat of the weekend, offering a full day of programming from 10 AM to 7 PM including speaker sessions, movement classes, workshops, bespoke experiences, an artisan market, an intuitive fair, individual healing sessions, a farm-to-table community lunch, and a Sacred Sister Circle around the fire to close the day.
Sunday, September 13 closes the weekend with morning yoga and meditation, and a deeply meaningful participatory education experience -- the Witness to Injustice Blanket Exercise, facilitated by the Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation, which explores the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization on Indigenous Peoples.
