Women are of the soil. Ideas, aspirations, and dreams, like life itself, if they are to thrive, are seeded, nourished, fertilized and held to the sun in order to grow. Inevitable weeds must be pulled, storms endured, and hands-in-dirt tending is required.

In gardening, and in cellular, emotional, and spiritual regeneration, the art of composting is a practice and skill that must be undertaken. In modern society, it is likely that many of us have not had time, nor a mature and safe place for emotional expression, deep meditation, and free-wheeling transformative imaginings. Just as our body’s metabolic fire transforms food into fuel for life and waste products to be eliminated; we can turn our psychic and emotional soil, lovingly pull weeds and burn off impurities, and dare to speak aloud our dreams and desires so they can benefit from the sun’s rays.

Many of us hold decades-old wounds and suffering in our wombs, our hearts, and other parts of our physical and emotional body. This is likely causing us a great deal of emotional and physical pain personally, and undoubtedly complicating our relationships. Emotional baggage travels insidiously and sinuously through communities and generations. Thus, manifestations of illness and dysfunction, as well as history repeating itself, are seen again and again, and we scratch our heads wondering why.

The Red Tent is where women come together in solidarity; to take a stand for ourselves, for one another, and to take responsibility for the role we play in shaping our health, relationships, communities, and the world.

This is the place where your story meets the ethos, in candlelight and fragrant air; where you are not judged or told how it is and what you should do about it. In this space your tears can flow freely, your rage can be given back to the Earth. This is where your experiences, emotions, and insights are given room to breathe; and where life lessons and your truest yearnings can emerge and be shaped into seeds, ready to be sown and fertilized by your own hands.

This process of regeneration is quite natural, intuitive and cyclical; it just needs a bit of quietude, spaciousness and presence.

Join us for an evening of meditation and conversation under the new moon that will honor where each of us has been, and ripen seeds for new beginnings.

Come grow GLORIOUS with us.
