For centuries women have come together ‘in circle’ to share their stories, wisdom and support for each other. The tradition dates back to ancient times when the ‘Red Tent’ was the place where, with the waxing and waning of the moon, women gathered during menstruation. It was where they birthed their children, told their stories, and taught each other how to sew and cook. It was also where they tau
ght each other the secrets of lo******ng and prepared the girls who were coming of age for the rites of s*xual initiation. It was a place where the sacred and everyday collided in the spirit of the Feminine. Sacred Women’s Business* seeks to restore the tradition of the Red Tent and retrieve the lost wisdom of the Feminine and those who have trodden the path of womanhood before us. In sharing our stories, we celebrate the collective desire for women to come together, to learn from each other, and grow through mutual support and understanding. We explore modern themes – like s*x, relationships, motherhood, career, health and wellbeing, community, the environment and changing the world – through the filter of story, myth, spirituality, ancient traditions and ritual. In doing so, we give expression to our yearning and what women long for.
