About Red Tent Mystery School
We are a global community of sisterhood. Our trainings & programs for women & girls are designed to bring us back into balance with the cycles of nature and with self; a bridge between the ancient ways of our ancestors and modern wisdom. Our curriculum is steeped in spiritual, scientific & mystical knowledge to assist women in re-membering their soul’s signature essence and boldly deepening their service to humanity.
Our school was founded to empower girls in creating healthy relationships to themselves and others, through teachings of the Red Tent Mysteries. Our commitment is to help women of all ages understand and embrace the changes of puberty, menstruation, sexuality, pregnancy, birth and menopause. As well as to honour the cycles of life and death, through exploring the feminine archetypes and our connection to the Divine. Our school guides Rite of Passage ceremonies for girls & women to honour the sacredness of their first bleed, as well as the transitions from maiden to mother, and mother to crone, acknowledging the powerful ripples this has within the web of life.
The modern Red Tent has emerged as the Divine Feminine rises.

HERSTORY & SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RED TENT
The red tent, also known as a moon lodge is traditionally a place for women to come together to bleed, pray and support each other. Our ancestors were in greater connection with the rhythms of the earth and it was common for them to bleed together, in sync with the cycles of the new moon. Women would honour this sacred moontime and access their power and intuition which is heightened at the time of menstruation and the dark of the moon.
Red tents were sacred spaces symbolic of the womb and found cross-culturally. Entering into the red tent is like entering into the womb. Hearing the drum beating is like hearing the heartbeat of the earth; of the great mother, returning to where we came from. Entering the energetics of the wombspace can bring altered states of consciousness, and allow women to dream, rest and receive insight from the spiritual realms. It was believed that the information received while women bled benefitted the whole community. The time of bleeding is a time of great power, sacredness and insight and the red tent was a safe haven of solace, great rest and comfort. A place of being and not doing. Women would bleed into the earth with prayers and emerge out of the red tent; out of the womb with greater ability to support their community through sacred purpose and with a renewed sense of self.
The emergence of the red tent is rising as women honour their sacred moontime and realize the power it holds; as we rise into our divinity. As we deeply honour ourselves, each other, the earth and the moon. The modern-day red tent is a space for women of all ages to gather (whether in their bleeding time or not) to share and learn about ancient feminine wisdom and the blood mysteries. When women come together to witness and support one another, their prayers and intentions for themselves and the collective are amplified.
