gift giving …
Mother Earth, with her abundance of food and growth, provides the model for an economy based on gifts. Even small children drink this model with their mother’s milk because they would not survive without the unconditional care of their caregivers. But market economy thinking has alienated us from this. In this time of crisis and systemic upheaval, we should return to the model of the maternal gift economy.
With the idea of giving as a fundamental economic and life principle, we invite you to be part of the festival with your energy – because your energy makes the festival even more beautiful, colourful and powerful!
In addition to your gift of participation, a project like this always requires gifts in the form of money.
You can join the «Matriarchy for Future» Association, or make a donation to the festival via PayPal or eBanking überweisen: IBAN CH62 8080 8001 3068 6175 2, Matriarchy for Future, Raiffeisenbank St.Gallen. Thank you very much!

the association …
We founded a non-profit association under the name “Matriarchy for Future” in accordance with Art. 60 ff. ZGB with registered office in St.Gallen (Switzerland). It is politically independent and denominationally neutral. The association aims to network initiatives and groups that research, strive for and/or already live matriarchal values.
The association operates exclusively on a non-profit basis and the members work on a voluntary basis.
Membership costs 108 Euros per year (9 Euros per month). A supporting membership is possible from 210 Euros per year. We would be delighted if you became a member and supported the festival and other activities. Download membership from here.
gift certificates …
The best gift for Christmas, a birthday or any other occasion: world peace, because everyone involved in the Matriarchy for Future Festival is working towards this. Genevieve Vaughan bought land between a nuclear test site and an Air Force base – borderland that was to serve as an outpost of peace – and donated a temple for Shekmet there. We have designed gift certificates with pictures of the temple that you can give to your loved ones. You can choose from two motifs for three occasions (Christmas, birthday, neutral): Motif 1 (view from the temple) and Motif 2 (temple with rainbow). You should also choose the form of address: «I give you» or «We give you». Write us an email at verein@matriarchy-for-future.net. You can donate via PayPal or by bank transfer to the club’s account (see above). You also have the option of buying a donation ticket. As soon as we receive your donation, we will send you the requested certificate to download.
