History

G-Fest was birthed in 2017 by Executive Producer Mikayla Lev as a women-led musical celebration at EarthStar – a private residence in Mount Shasta.

With inspiration from the Goddess and community support, it grew into a larger gathering with the addition of ceremonies and workshops focused on women’s healing, expression, personal growth, leadership, and empowerment – from a one day event to a whole weekend transformational experience produced by a team of women. 

G-Fest is unique for having a retreat-like setting with a festival atmosphere.  Based in Mount Shasta, our focus on creating a transformational experience is deeply supported by being in the mountain’s vortex.
