Wildfern Grove Events
Wildfern Grove Events is a heart-centered, home-grown gathering space nestled in the forests of Western Washington. We host and co-create experiences that celebrate authenticity, embodiment, connection, and creative expression.
Our land offers a rustic, soulful setting for workshops, retreats, and community events—featuring authentic Mongolian yurts, a cedar hot tub, forest trails, open gathering spaces, and a fully equipped community kitchen.
