Estrogen Fest II: This year's Estrogen Fest celebrates empowering women, collaboration, and reuniting with nature. Come celebrate with us, volunteer your talents, offer a workshop, or sell your wares - learn why 'The new Me is We'. Estrogen Fest creates a kind of vibrational ecology that links us all, through fundamentals such as friendship, music and nature.
For more than 10 years, the Godmothers have led a collaborative to transform our cities, neighborhoods, and individual lives. This year we are raising funds to build a safe, fun playground for elementary school children residing in Detroit. Please come celebrate womanhood... your estrogen, meet new friends and help create the future for many.
We Welcome Your Ideas and Participation!
