~This photo was taken by my Mother, Lucy, at the 2009 Women's Herbal Conference in New Hampshire. It is (left to right) the beautiful and inspiring ALisa Starkweather, with me (Ananda) and my daughter McKenzie. It was amazing to see ALisa again and gave me a rekindled hope and passion for a sustainable future of Red Tent Temples around the world. Thank you to the women here who have dedicated so much time and heart to keep our Temple stable and sacred.

RED TENT TEMPLE: May 24, 2009, plus an important announcement

Greetings Wonderful Women!


Most importantly, our next Red Tent Temple at Auer Farm will be taking place on Sunday, May 24.

For the complete details what our Red Tent Temple is, please read the March entry following this one.

Secondly, I am announcing to the community that effective immediately, I am looking for a replacement coordinator for our Spiral Traditions Red Tent Temple, in my stead.

There are many details in order to explain this undertaking, which will be written into a comprehensive document and available to anyone who requests it. I can say from my personal experience that it is deeply rewarding, transformational, and important.

I am not withdrawing from the Movement, but rather re-organizing my priorities to better serve my own needs and those of my families. The Red Tent is a huge passion of mine, yet one which needs more attention and nurturing than I can currently provide.

I, with the consult of my Temple Sisters, will be choosing who is best suited for this volunteer position based on commitment level, spiritual openness and vision, organizational skills, and Public Relations/computer savvy. Informal style applications will be in the form of email conversations. Those interested can email me. Please be prepared to be thorough and honest with your strengths and weaknesses.

The Woman who's calling this is and who takes my place, will have direct access to communication and coaching from me in order to facilitate an effective, smooth transition, as well as the backbone of 5 or 6 other members of our Temple who have the experience of the last year under their belts.

In Love and Light,

Ananda Wilson

Red Tent 4-26-09 CANCELED

We are growing!

Greetings Sisters! 

It's been a looong time (too long) since I have been able to post anything here aside from our regular invitations. Upon updating our email database and opening a yahoo group for us, I decided to see how the google search option has evolved since I tried it last year. 

Wow! What a delight. Upon searching "Red Tent CT" or "Red Tent Temple" we now get localized, applicable links to Red Tents and groups that are actually useful! Not to mention totally inspiring. It's so cool to watch this incredible movement blossom. More and more, the temples are rising. The first ones are paving a path for the new ones, and the word is OUT. Women, we ARE DOING THIS! 

It's deeply empowering to know that we can come together and unite our common vision of a whole and healing culture that truly honors women's time, mysteries, and cycles. We must declare this for ourselves, and when we do, we are heard. 

If you are one who has been coming all through 2008 - THANK YOU

If you are on the fence and hoping to come - We Welcome You!!

If you are going to start your own Temple in your area - A-HO, sister, let me know if you need help. Use the resources here, and be in contact with ALisa Starkweather, our founder.

For 2009 we anticipate an exciting evolution. Our emphasis will be on stability, laying an efficient and simple groundwork for communication, marketing, and of course our actual days. 

We have women who are great writers to offer words of inspiration for articles and fliers. We have a women with a fire in her belly to write a GRANT, and do some PR. We have women with huge hearts who will call others and connect with them over the phone, sister to sister. We have women who research and come organized with visions and tangible ideas. Women, you are remarkable.

The time is here, and we are loving it.

Red Tent Temple Movement ~ 1-25-09 ~ Bloomfield, CT

Welcome to 2009! Can you believe we are heading into our second year?! Wow! 

I DO hope that many of you will decide to transfer your hibernating selves for the day from your home to our Temple space. I ask NOT that you dress up and change for the day.... but that you just show up - as YOU. That's all. Just show up! 

I read recently in a wonderful book by Jamie Sams, that keeping a regular appointment with yourself for this sacred dream time, is vitally important because it builds trust. How can you trust yourself if you aren't showing up for YOU? Yup, it's a hard truth - you come first. Your energy, your time, your peace, and your commitment to yourself to live from your center. Show your Self that you mean it. Once a month, we are creating a space for you to do this.

The STRUCTURE OF THIS TEMPLE IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT

Please read. 

To the attendants, please scroll down. To the Organizers, and women who would like to be more involved in the co-creation of this : Set up will begin at 9 am. Please come then if you have space materials to lay out. We will hold our meeting from 10:30 to 12:30 to brainstorm, reflect, and co-create our newly birthing year. This will be both a productive meeting as well as a meeting that honors our diverse creative processes and our ceremonial space. 

 

The remainder of the day will then be our red tent time.... unstructured Self time from 12:30 to 3, and formal circle from 3-5.

Our soulful sister Audrey will be Priestessing our Circle. (thank you!) 

Below is the traditional invite with the tweaks. PLEASE FORWARD to all the special women in your life! On the blog there is also a public flier you can print to post at your coffee shop or library, just hand write in the date. Thanks!!

On the blog there is also a Donation button.... all donations go 100% to the Temple, and we do have to pay for our space. All donations welcome and deeply appreciated!

Greetings Wonderful Women!

It’s time again!

To gather in honor of the feminine divine in our magical Red Tent Temple.

Please join us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Red Tent Temple ~ May 4, 2008 ~ Bloomfield, CT

Please read this invitation thoroughly so you know exactly what is happening and how you might participate.
~~~~~~~~
The Red Tent Temple of the Spiral Traditions Chapter.

~Recreating the Women's Moonlodge for today's culture~

Please forward this to anyone you wish to be invited. Last month's gathering was absolutely wonderful! The Storytellers chair was initiated by Lucy who spoke of nourishing our blood with rich herbal nutrition and about remembering the wisdom imprinted in our own cells. Virginia led us on an inspirited journey during circle, with singing bowls and emotional transformation.

~ It is scheduled for Sunday May 4, 2008, from 11 am to 5+ pm.
~ Set up will be from 9-11am.
~ A brief opening/orientation circle will be held at 12 noon.
~ 11-12 am and 12:30-3pm will be free-form, organic time, where you can do what you wish in the space.
~ Formal Circle will be held from 3-5pm
~ 5-7 pm will be community time (farewells, hugs, networking, resting after circle..) and break down of the space.

Located on the beautiful land of Auer Farm we will be held in the arms of Mother Earth while we retreat safely and honor the feminine spirit. The Red Tent will happen every month, on the Sunday closest to the New (dark) Moon.

Inside the Red Tent .........you will find a space to heal and be heard. To be your whole self. To go within and tap into your divine creative source. There will be space to rest, journal, cry, connect with sisters, breathe, meditate, and reconnect with what ties us all together: being woman. Womb or not, bleeding or not, all women from all walks of life are welcome.

Suggested Donations of $10.00 to $20.00 are requested but not mandatory.

There will be a beautiful storytellers chair, a greivance altar, a community altar, herbal teas and homemade soup. It is sacred space to go within and honor your divine feminine being. A place to remember.

Young women of Menarche age are welcome for all of the day except the formal circle at 3:00 which is adults only.
Nurslings are welcome until walking age.

This vision is held in the spirit of community and collaboration. Everyone who sets this up is working on a volunteer basis, which makes your attendance and contributions integral. Please take a look at the share list below and the garden volunteer dates to see where you are called to collaborate to keeping this vision alive and well. On the side bar to the right, there is a donation button you can use to make financial contributions.
It is vital to our culture and to our next generations that we reclaim our innate Spiral Traditions. We are a culture starved for authenticity - but we don't have to be. The Red Tent Temple is a transformational movement.

RSVP's are important. We need to know how much soup to make or request, who can Priestess, and who can bring what. When you refer to the share list below - please email us on what it is you are called to bring or do, so we can keep this day organized and wonderful. When you rsvp, you will receive a detailed Temple email in return.
