Healers and Readers FWFG 2023 Application

Before you complete your application, please read the following and answer the 2 questions to confirm your eligibility;

The Fearless Women's Forest Gathering is a huge collaboration between many women. It takes around 100 women to bring this life changing event together. These women need to be connected and unified to lay the foundations for a safe space for the attendees. We achieve this by bringing the collaborators together through zoom meetings 1 week before the event and holding an intention setting ceremony 2 hours before the festival commences.

If you cannot commit to the following due to family or work commitments, please do not apply. We will be happy to receive your application in future years when you are able to commit to the following;

YesNo - please don't apply

Please read the information below in detail before completing the application form.

Being a collaborator in previous years does not guarantee acceptance at the Fearless Women’s Forest Gathering 2023. Due to limited space at the site, only a select number of stallholders, readers and healers will be able to attend.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The format for healers and readers will change in 2023 to be more in line with stallholders.

This means that you will have your own stall for the duration of the weekend and will be free to charge your own rates.

It will be possible to share your stall with another healer or reader (you must both submit an application) so that you are free to enjoy some of the festival.

Healers/Readers will be required to supply their own marquees, tables, chairs and any other equipment that they need. If you do not have 3 x 3m marquee, we can set one up for you for an additional cost of $88.

Healing tents will not have access to electricity.

Healers/Readers will be required to have their own public liability insurance and public indemnity insurance.

FEES

Please do not pay any fees when submitting application forms.

If successful, a confirmation email and invoice will be forwarded to healers and readers.

Payment must be received by Friday March 17th, 2023.

3 X 3m stall = $220 for the duration of the festival. This includes entry for 1 healer/reader. If you are sharing your stall with another healer or reader the additional cost will be $110 which will mean that you will each pay $165 each.

The fee includes camping. Bunkhouse upgrades will be available for $91 per person when you collect your online ticket.

The fee does not include meals, however, catering packages will be available for $99 when you collect your online ticket. This includes catered meals from Friday evening through to Sunday lunch.

Please note that if you are self-catering, you must supply your own refrigeration and cooking equipment.

If you require us to supply and set up a marquee for you, $88 will be added to your invoice.
