Ngaamba Country ✦ Women's Red Tent with Abuela Xquenda

Divine Woman,

We create a space together to weave stories.

The woman is a source of creation, through her uterus the whole life is gestated. All of our bodies are sacred and beautiful, but we have been programmed to hate them and doubt our power and creativity, to silence our voices and not sound too hysterical, to smile even though we are destroying ourselves inside; to disgust our blood...

However, since ancient times, 800 B.C., the red tents already existed, where women met when they felt sick, had just given birth or were menstruating, and created a space of support among all, shared knowledge about sexuality and female health and reconnected with their bodies and nature.

We invite you to share with us a resting space where we can be vulnerable, talk about taboos, transmit knowledge about the lunar and menstrual cycle, reproduction, sorority, womb healing and ancestral medicine.

We accompany you to reconcile with your creative power, honor and celebrate our feminine being.
