What is a Red Tent?
The term "Red Tent" comes from the ancient practice of women - of all ages - gathering in a special space during their menstrual cycle. The tent was often covered in red fabric or had a red entrance to symbolize the women's cycle. The color red is significant because it represents the life-giving force of a woman.
What is a Red Tent for Girls?
It is a gathering of girls who support one another and feel proud of who they are. It's where girls can be themselves and connect with other girls under the guidance of women who understand what they are going through. It's a great place for them to learn about the changes happening in their bodies.
Girl Empowerment
Empowerment is about our daughters taking control of their lives and making choices based on their values and goals. For a teen girl, this means recognizing her strengths, setting achievable goals, and having faith in herself to make them happen.
Women Empowerment
Sometimes as women, we need reminders of our own empowerment. Gathering your friends in a Red Tent event such as this is an inspiring way to connect and be reminded of how special we are in each others lives.
