Women Circle - Spring Red Tent

Circles with a sacred center are ancient and one of the oldest form of social interaction. The fire was in the center as the people cooked and ate their food, heard stories, worshiped their gods and goddesses, and passed down the traditions and wisdom that kept them alive and healthy.

Ladies-only circles, too, have been taking place for ages, all around the world. Many were directly tied to menstruation and the moon cycles. There are menstrual hut and moon lodge traditions all over the world that date back to 800 CE and in some places are still practiced today. The red tent menstrual tradition and moon lodges grew in popularity as a sacred space for women and girls to affirm their spirituality and sexuality, and to heal from the wounds of patriarchy through connecting with each other.

When we’re in a setting where we’re not going to compete with each other, there’s a hormonal response that we’re safe. And that allows us to look each other in the eye and talk about real stuff that is going on in our lives.

This Red Tent takes place on the 23rd of April. During the circle in the sign of Taurus, we have the opportunity to connect with this grounding energy. Taurus is Mother Earth herself. We can allow ourselves to fall back into the arms of Taurus and activate the parts of ourselves that need tending, the parts that need to remember how to hold ourselves, in a gentle, loving and nourishing way.

Sitting together in a circle, listening without judgement with an open heart and love for the other women, will re-connect us to our deepest inner parts: to the experience of having a place or role in this life and this nourishing feeling of being carried by life itself.

I am so happy to host this circle again with my lovely soul-mate Melina.

We welcome every women (all ages) to our cirlce who feels the calling to join us.
