The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant, inspired women to create healing spaces for rest, renewal, and to reclaim the sacredness of internal cycles. As we are in the chaos of great societal change, we can use the symbolism of the red tent for resilience and strength. As part of Carol’s healing journey, she created her own red tent in her home that has evolved into something larger and more magical than she could have ever imagined. In this workshop, together, we will consider the symbolism of the red tent, reflect, and create fabric art (no experience needed). We will sit with provocative questions. What needs to be taken apart in my life so I can create something new? What kind of support do I need to do this? How might disparate pieces fit together? Come join us as you dream big about your version of your red tent to support you in these times.
