The Women's Visionary Congress (WVC) is an annual gathering of visionary women healers, scholars, activists and artists who study consciousness and altered states. The WVC supports the transfer of knowledge among women who apply the insights of their research and spiritual path. We gather on beautiful land in Northern California to renew our community of adventurers and visionaries.

The sixth annual WVC will take place from July 27 - 29, 2012 at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) Earthrise Retreat Center, near Petaluma, California. The WVC welcomes interested women and men to join us as we talk, dance, eat delicious food and participate in a series of conversations with wise women.

Presenters at our last congress included Copperwoman, Valerie Corral, Earth and Fire Erowid, Dorothy Fadiman, Amber Field, Carolyn (Mountain Girl) Garcia, Dorka Keehn, Jessica Lucas, Mariavittoria Mangini, Jean Millay, Eleonora Molnar, Annie Oak, Linnae Ponté, Lily Ross, Miss S, Nick Sand, Stephanie Schmitz, Jane Straight, Justine Willis Toms, Keeper Trout, Clare Wilkins and Nina Wise.

The WVC is a benefit for the V Fund that makes grants to support the work of visionary women. Tickets will go on sale in the spring of 2012.

The WVC sold out last year, so please make plans now to reserve your spot. We are looking forward to a wonderful and informative summer weekend of discussion with old friends and new. For tickets or more information, contact Natalie Engber at info@visionarycongress.org or call +1 707 489 8877. Consider becoming a visionary patron and purchase a ticket for a woman who could not otherwise attend.
