Administrative history
The WomynSpirit Festival originated when seven womyn met for a week-long camp, “Cakes for the Queen of Heaven,” in 1991, (relating to a religious education curriculum in feminist theology.) Participants decided to create an Ontario festival that would allow local Pagan women to meet and share their skills. They created what would become the WomynSpirit Festival Collective, in 1992.
The organization was founded as a feminist and Pagan non-hierarchical womyn’s collective that fostered women's spirituality, creativity and personal growth. WomynSpirit held festivals for ten years at the Ecology Retreat Centre in Hockley Valley, Ontario, before moving to different sites in Ontario, eventually returning to the Ecology Centre. Festivals include volunteer-run workshops and rituals as well as activities like chanting, yoga, and sacred circle, often held on Pagan holidays with a childcare program to allow working mothers to participate.

Le WomynSpirit Festival a vu le jour lorsque sept femmes se sont réunies pour un camp d'une semaine, " Cakes for the Queen of Heaven ", en 1991 (dans le cadre d'un programme d'éducation religieuse en théologie féministe). Les participantes ont décidé de créer un festival ontarien qui permettrait aux femmes païennes de la région de se rencontrer et de partager leurs compétences. Elles ont fondé ce qui allait devenir WomynSpirit en 1992.
L'organisation a été fondée en tant que collectif de femmes féministes et païennes non hiérarchisé. Womynspirit a organisé des festivals pendant dix ans au Ecology Retreat Centre à Hockley Valley, en Ontario, avant de déménager dans différents sites en Ontario, pour finalement revenir au Ecology Centre. Les festivals comprennent des ateliers et des rituels, ainsi que des activités telles que le chant, le yoga et le cercle sacré, souvent organisés à l'occasion de fêtes païennes. Le programme de garde d'enfants permet aux mères qui travaillent de participer.
