CROWNED: A Rite of Sovereignty & Sacred Celebration






CROWNED: A Rite of Sovereignty & Sacred Celebration
Honoring the Maga years, the turning of seasons, and the harvest of a woman’s life. Come for all or part. Let’s make magic. This early autumn, during the waxing Super Harvest Moon, we gather in Crestone for a weekend of ceremony, community, music, and joy.
Crowned is a women-led, community-inclusive rite of passage honoring the Maga stage of womanhood—the vibrant, sovereign years between Mother and Crone. Having just turned 52, Rayah Marie steps into her second life cycle, marking the completion of a sacred 52-year solar round and embracing her role as a sovereign woman, teacher, and guide.
The weekend will also bless her sabbatical journey away from Crestone—a send-off rooted in gratitude, community, and shared celebration.
Weekend Flow:
Friday Evening (Oct 3): Song Circle with songs taught from various spiritual traditions led by Rayah Honoring the Divine Feminine.
Saturday Morning (Oct 4):Crowning Ceremony — women-led ritual honoring sovereignty, blessings from elder women, and offerings from all present
Saturday Evening: Music, dancing, and community celebration
Sunday (Oct 5): Hike, hot springs soak, song sharing, laughter
Monday Morning (Oct 6):Fire Ceremony & Feast at Haidakhandi Universal Ashram under the Harvest Super Moon
All are welcome, though Saturday morning is women-led and focused on honoring women’s wisdom. This will be potluck style and camping or participants may stay at local Airbnbs.
Sliding scale donations will be shared after registration. Your generosity supports the ceremony and the elder ritual leader, Suzanne Rouge.
