Red Tent St Albans

Return to Directory
Red Tent St Albans
Location:
East England, England, United Kingdom
Name of your Red Tent:
Red Tent St Albans
Where in your country are you:
St Albans, Hertfordshire
Where do your Red Tents meet:
e meet in a beautiful, womb-like therapy room, inside The Yoga Hall, which is less than 200 metres from St Peters Street in the centre of St Albans. There are many bus routes close to us and we are about 10 minutes walk from St Albans Railway Station (which is 20 minutes by rail from St Pancras, London). There is a small car park at the back of The Yoga Hall (access from Essex Street and Clifton Street). The Yoga Hall shares this car park with local businesses but there may be space available for Red Tent meetings on Saturday afternoon/evenings. Please don’t block anyone else in. Follow this link for a map: www.theyogahall.co.uk/TYH-Location.htm
When do you meet:
St Albans Red Tent meets on the Saturday nearest to the New Moon and usually runs from about 1:30-6pm with a shared meal at the end.
What do you do in your Red Tents:

Once the women have all arrived, had tea and greeted each other, we move upstairs into the Red Tent space. Usually we use a ritual, such as smudging, to help us all arrive in this sacred space. After we have had a moment to gather ourselves, we begin with a checking in circle, so all women have a chance to speak and to introduce themselves and how they are feeling. Thereafter the women are asked to share what they feel they need from the Red Tent for that day and to present anything that may have brought as an offering to the day, for example a song, poem, a story. Although we usually have two women who have offered to facilitate the circle, this is merely to guide and allow things to evolve from the group itself. Sometimes we might have a topic for the afternoon from which discussions and sharing arise. Sometimes a woman may offer to lead a craft activity, but mostly we simply allow the day to unfold spontaneously. Once the afternoon has run its course we end with a closing circle and a shared potluck dinner. All women of menstruating age and beyond, are welcome, as are babes in arms.

Do you ask participants to bring anything, wear red or make a donation?:
We invite women to wear something red if they wish, and to bring anything they would like to share with the group, for example materials for a craft activity. We ask for a donation of £2 each, to cover the hire of the space at The Yoga Hall.

What does a Red Tent mean to you?

Red Tent is a place to leave your worries and responsibilities and just ‘be’. Come just as you are – and be prepared to laugh and learn. We look forward to welcoming you!
