About the Red Tent: What women want is CONNECTION. Not on a superficial level, but REAL connection and support.
The Red Tent is a place for women to feel that connection and to offer and receive that support.
We want to help women to free themselves from the isolation of today’s modern world and find their tribe. Red Tent Aotearoa has the aim to connect, collaborate, and create a community of strong and educated women in a supportive & nurturing environment.

We establish community networks and support between women by hosting local gatherings, and events in what we call “Red Tents.”

Red Tent Aotearoa is not religious, we invite anyone who identifies as female from 11 years + from all walks of life. It’s our hope for everyone who enters each Red Tent to experience a sense of belonging, sisterhood, and strength that stays with them from then on. Any questions please reach out to Jill: redtentaotearoa@gmail.com

The price to come to Red Tent circles is $20 (under 18yrs free when accompanied by a caregiver) If the cost is prohibitive please get in touch.

Space is limited, so please register via Humanitix so we can plan for your arrival.

FAQ:

What is the Red Tent and what do you do there?

The Red Tent movement is worldwide and stemmed from the book The Red Tent written by Anita Diamond. Red Tents are spaces created by women, for women to come each month and share their stories, relax, feel nurtured, seen, and heard. There is nothing required of you and the main goal is for you to relax, recharge and reset.

Each month at Red Tent Aotearoa is different, we invite a different woman each month to share her experience and interest with us so that we all can learn and become more confident. Some of our themes in the past have been; The Power of Pleasure, The Power of Identity, The Power of the Spoken Word, The Power of Positive Touch, The Power of Humility. Our belief is that 'Power-with' instead of 'Power-over' will change the world.
