Daring to know ourselves deeply is essential for our ability to interact in relationship with ourselves and others with integrity, compassion, and in alignment with our deepest values and desires. If we are confident, sincere, relaxed, confused, anxious, indecisive, or… (fill in the blank), the people we interact with in our lives are going to experience the truth of our energy on some level, even if we put on a brave face and a stiff upper lip. This may be obvious or very subtle. Either way, emotional energy is powerful and makes an impact – sometimes (via body language or silent resentments) it betrays our words.
Communicating our thoughts, needs, feelings and boundaries with others effectively creates opportunities for honest casual and intimate relationships. Not communicating effectively can cause confusion, conflict, and resentment. In order to be truly honest and clear with our intention in relationship to others, we first need to be intimately in touch with ourselves – our feelings, needs, vulnerabilities and fears, as well as our deepest desires.
This conversation will encourage us to explore how tenderness and awareness around our vulnerabilities will guide us toward confidence in setting effective interpersonal boundaries and creating deeply satisfying relationships.
To be clear - our conversations in the Red Tent are not about providing “expert” answers, but invite us to gather in community to explore sensitive topics and deeply human challenges. Our activities in the Red Tent should not be viewed as individual or group therapy – we do not “workshop” our emotional or spiritual selves. Among the safety of friends in a sacred, respectful, and confidential space, we seek to explore tender and complex subjects with candor, and identify opportunities for growth.

**Because our community is growing, we need to find a larger space for our gatherings. A warm, cozy and private atmosphere appropriate for meditation, dancing and/or stretching out on the floor in deep relaxation is required. If you know of such a space in or near downtown Eindhoven, please send email Jennifer Moiles.
