What is a Red Tent Gathering?

In many ancient cultures, women would retreat away from society during their “Moon cycle” which coincided with the occurrence of the New Moon. In some cultures, women would gather voluntarily in Moon lodges during their cycle to nest, embrace womanhood, and enhance their mental, physical and spiritual health. Moon lodges or red tents as they are commonly referred to, were a safe space for girls to become women. As many may forget, like clockwork our usual cycle is almost perfectly in sync with the Moon. Upon their first period, girls were invited into the red tent society to learn from the generations that preceded them how to take care of their cyclic nature as a woman.

Some of these traditions remain, and surely there’s a multitude of new traditions being formed every New Moon by women all over the world. The content of the gathering isn’t so important, it’s the commitment to the ritual and the rise of the feminine.

Modern day Red Tent Gatherings are about honoring our body wisdom, connecting with women and passing down earned wisdom through stories. It is a safe place to pause, rest and take care of ourselves.

Red Tents are community held spaces where women can come to connect with each other authentically and honestly. These gatherings are a tremendous blessing in life.

I highly recommend the book by Anita Diamont-The Red Tent.

The book was published in 1997 and ingited a resurgence of women connecting through Red Tent Events.

Please join us for the first Emerging Hearts Collective Red Tent Gathering on September 17 for a day of storytelling and self care at Renee's house.
