*TMHP Red Tent Gatherings are held in conjunction with the Red Tent Temple Movement, started by ALisa Starkweather, which includes women’s groups in many parts of the world, all coming together on or around the new moon each month to allow for stillness, quiet togetherness, and reverence in women’s lives.

A quote from ALisa’s website:
“The Red Tent Temple Movement is a way for women to take our inner momentum, that feeling like the time is now and come forward with everything we are as women and give us a place to incubate, dream, slow down, and not have an agenda or plan. And simultaneously much is waiting for us in this not knowing place but we need to make time for the empty space. It is also not only empty space but woman space where we can share stories, laughter, songs, food and honor our unique cycles that we experience each month in our bleeding time and in our going through perimenopause and menopause.”

**Donations are asked in the spirit of healthy exchange. May your generosity return to you 1000 fold!
