Red Tent Online “New Beginnings” – Sept. 16, 2020

Female 360° cycle, motherhood, fertility, menopause, Group Pathways

Life is made up of restarts, of new beginnings, some decided at the table, some offered by life, and others arrived suddenly without quite understanding why.

The quality of a new beginning is closely related to the quality of what we leave behind and the confidence with which we go into the new.

New beginnings, start well, when there has been “good” closure upstream. This is not always the case: between the closing of one cycle of life and the beginning of the new one some times there is a limbo, chaotic: something has made us detach from the “old,” as if pulling us by the shirt, only to have us find ourselves in a new and unfamiliar space that attracts and frightens us at the same time.

An evening to begin to put our new projects in order, our more or less mature desires to “start over,” and look together at what there is to close or say goodbye to (and how to do it) so that we can move toward the new with the right intention and energy.

Rendezvous Red Tent Online, Wednesday, Sept. 16, 6:30 p.m. – New Moon – and you can connect from wherever you want.

To enjoy a good energy space even from a distance I’ll put some tips here (but as always let your instincts guide you in creating the space you feel is most enjoyable for you)

1. choose a red dress, blouse, accessory to wear in Red Tent

2. place near you a small candle, a small cup of water, a stone, some cards or a little notebook that you destine for our meetings – thus we will have all the elements with us (fire, water, earth, air); according to your feeling you can add from time to time something to the center that gives you pleasure (a perfume, a flower etc…). Whatever space, even very small or temporary space you can give to this “little altar” is fine. We learn to be “in what’s there”

3. make yourself some herbal tea, a glass of wine (whatever you like) and some food-the purpose of having something with you that gives you pleasure and reconnects you to “nourishment.”

RED TENT ONLINE 2020

Never did I think I would be able to bring the magical and sacred space of the Red Tent feminine online.
Yet in these early months of 2020 when we experienced emergency, separation, fear, and uncertainty, I felt that the place for women to gather, exchange, share, and nurture should, now more than ever, be nurtured and the fire of sisterhood kept alive.
So throughout the quarantine period I opened the doors of Red Tent online every 2 weeks and all the women who felt the need to get together, be together, talk about themselves, about what was happening around and within them.
Even today, in fact, the physical closeness, the possibility of being in a circle according to the ancient ritual is still not given to us.
I sense a lot of inner movement in people and women in particular. Questions, reflections, new looks at life and things.
The intensity of some of the “virtual” encounters was such that it reminded me (should there still be a need) how powerful a circle of women goes beyond any imposed “limits.”
That’s why the intimate and sacred space of Red Curtain Online Growing Women continues online, focusing each month, in keeping with tradition, on a theme important to our journey as women.
We go beyond the boundaries of space and welcome all women from any part of Italy and the world who would like to join this circle.
