WITH A FOREWORD BY ALISA STARKEWEATHER, FOUNDER OF THE RED TENT TEMPLE MOVEMENT.Each Red Tent is a unique reflection of the community of women who create it. But these varied spaces share something in common.The longing for connection and belonging.The sharing of how we are feeling and who we are in our lives.The nourishment of ourselves and each other.The slowing down, the rest, the replenishment.The simple act of sharing time and space with a group of women.The opportunity to let go of the other responsibilities in our livesWhen women come together, magic happens. We know this to be true from our own experience. And we have also seen that something else happens too when these communities grow: they can become a beacon to others.Red Tents weaves together the voices and experiences of many women to create a shared story about the role Red Tents can play in our lives. We document our shared hope, vision and dream - Red Tents as liberatory community spaces for women around the world.Full of inspiration and practical learning, along with questions and practices to support and stimulate discussion about some of the challenges Red Tents face.
