Red Tent Worcestershire – Open circle

Return to Directory
Red Tent Worcestershire – Open circle
Location:
England, United Kingdom, West Midlands England
Name of your Red Tent:
Red Tent Worcestershire – Open circle
Where in your country are you:
Malvern in Worcestershire, near the borders of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire.
Where do your Red Tents meet:
Either in a shed in the garden – ‘The Scarlet Sanctuary’, or if more participants inside my home in Malvern. If at a venue or gathering then in a Red Tent that’s portable and easily set up.
When do you meet:
Once a month – sometimes near the new moon, sometimes near the full moon, whenever is convenient for participants. Various times of the day or evening, sometimes for a few hours or maybe a day.
What do you do in your Red Tents:

We generally gather together and greet one another outside of the circle, make drinks – lots of lovely teas available and maybe some delicious snacks, then enter the circle by removing our shoes and taking a seat (cushions, beach chairs or dining chairs) in the circle, making ourselves comfortable with blankets if necessary to encourage relaxation. We light candles – a large red candle that sits in the centre of the circle; and others according to where the Red Tent is being held, several on altars for healing, connection to other women’s circles, and three that are dedicated the Triple Goddess: the Maiden, Mother and Crone. We take some space for quiet contemplation and I general guide a grounding and releasing meditation to center ourselves to the intention. We use a beautifully handcrafted Babushka doll as a ‘talking stick’, and she travels around each of the women to support active listening. We each start by either introductions if there are new comers, or open with catching up on where we are, what’s been happening since our last gathering. During the circle we will either have a discussion about something that has come up through our starter, or talk about a topic which we have arranged previously, or about a concern or issues someone needs support or advice with. We also light candles dedicating them to people we wish to think about for various reasons, and this generally leads to more and more people being dedicated. In the circle are divination and affirmation cards and books to choose from, then reflect and interpret the meaning it has to that individual woman. This generally leads to a closing where we join hands and share our gratitude, sending our love our into the world with our breath as we blown out the candles. Each woman departs with a gift of a single red rose.

Do you ask participants to bring anything, wear red or make a donation?:
Some of the women wear red, most just wear what they are comfortable in or suitable for where and when we are meeting. Each woman makes a contribution by bringing a plate to share and financial donations are welcomed.

What does a Red Tent mean to you?

A sacred space for women to gather in honour of our bodies and ourselves; a space for healing, sisterhood, and recognition of our sacred cycles and our womanhood
