Common challenges and how to overcome them Building Red Tent spaces that are liberatory and challenge oppression Leading together and making your tent sustainable This book provides you with inspiring, grounded, tried and tested advice for creating a safer and more inclusive space..
Red Tents is written by the founders of the Red Tent Directory, including interviews with over seventy women from diverse backgrounds who run Red Tents, this book provides the practical support women need to establish and sustain a Red Tent in their own community.
Full of inspiration and practical learning, along with questions and practices to support and stimulate discussion about some of the challenges Red Tents face.
We document our Shared hope, vision and dream - Red Tents as liberatory community spaces for women around the world.
Red Tents weaves together the voices and experiences of many women to create a Shared story about the role Red Tents can play in our lives.
And we have also seen that something else happens too when these communities grow: they can become a beacon to others.
We know this to be true from our own experience.
The opportunity to let go of the other responsibilities in our lives When women come together, magic happens.
The simple act of sharing time and space with a group of women.
The slowing down, the rest, the replenishment.
The nourishment of ourselves and each other.
The sharing of how we are feeling and who we are in our lives.
The longing for connection and belonging.
But these varied spaces share something in common.
Each Red Tent is a unique reflection of the community of women who create it.
