From our founder, ALisa Starkweather........
We are looking for another way, a way that is more consistent with our actual rhythms, cycles and ways of being in relationship to each other that support, foster and give us strength and courage. Here in the Red Tent we can journal, rest, receive or give energy work, draw, read, share or listen to women’s wisdoms in the stories we share. We cook one another food and drink teas for our wombs and bellies.
It is a day out of the month on or near the new moon to step out of a kind of world that keeps us occupied. Inside the Red Tent Temples we give ourselves time to remember who we are at our very core, honoring that to do that remembering we must turn from our identities and roles towards the innermost temple of our own hearts. Come into the Red Tent Temple and stop for a breath and to be in your body. In the quiet and sometimes celebratory company of wonderful women, feel. In what you feel, there is much that is waiting for you.
It is time. The women are ready to co-create a vision in the societies we live in and make a place among us where women are honored by honoring our own unique journies of womanhood. A place for our elders and our young women. A place for us to come alive. Who knows where it will lead us? Women who are part of this important grassroots movement may never know what an important role they will play by bringing this into our culture at large. Now we are learning how. Join us in a revolutionary act. It is more than a woman's circle. It is a deep learning process of unlearning the busy and finding the moment.
Use the "Red Tent By Locale" Link to find a Red Tent near you! Or look at the Questions and Answers on the menu for information.The locale list is breaking down some from pure momentum. If you begin a Red Tent Temple in your area please send an email as to zipcode, contact, dates, location, and any information that you want women to know. Check the FB page for more info too as it is a lot to keep up with considering my present work schedule with women.
The movement is growing among us month by month.
Our vision remains to build an independent interactive website space where organizers can write in with information/blog/ etc. and a place where we can see how this movement can become widespread. We are still writing and learning about the mission statement, principles and purpose that can guide the intention of this vision in a way that can be more easily understood.
