Roots Grown Deep

The Great Mother March is an Empowerment Pilgrimage for all people. 

On the Spring Equinox 2026, a sacred moment of balance, The Great Mother March will set forth from Asheville, North Carolina, on a 500-mile pilgrimage to Washington, D.C., arriving on Earth Day.  

This 32-day journey is more than just a walk—it’s a way forward.

What’s At Stake: Our mother, this planet, and every being on it is in trouble. Too much has been taken and taken for granted. Now the natural systems we rely on for food, water and shelter are breaking down. We’re in this mess because the divine feminine has not had a seat at the table in the halls of power. Nurturing energies and instincts have been silenced for thousands of years and the world is paying the price. It’s time for a return to balance. 

The March: Over the course of 32 days, ww will embark on 500-mile, sacred journey to reweave the connection between people and the planet, arriving in unity on Earth Day 2026 in Washington DC. 

The Movement: We know that the issues we are facing are deeply interconnected. The struggle to protect our environment is tied up in the struggle for our rights. The societal shifts we are walking for will serve all mothers, including our planet. 

Your Part: When you march with us or hold a sister march in your community, you are standing up for our mother when she needs you most. You are welcoming others into this collective movement, and showing that protecting this planet is an act of love. You are embodying the balance of masculine and feminine and making space for all lived experiences. 

The Route: Embodying the spirit of inclusivity everywhere we go.
