Women's Circle & Red Tent Wirral

Our red tent is a monthly meeting of women, there is often no tent involved at all, we meet at private houses, gardens, community spaces and outdoors.  We are a community led group, all sessions are free to access, with the option to donate (donations can be cash, snacks, drinks, or just your time and presence).  We aim to bring all female identifying people together , of all ages, beliefs and walks of life to share, connect and make time for themselves.  A red tent has been traditionally thought of as a space for menstruating women to come together each month, to share wisdom, stories and nurture each other.  Our space takes this ethos and opens it out to all.  It is a non judgemental space to connect with others, share, feel the benefits of being seen and heard, connect with the local community and leave feeling lighter. 

We have a closed Whatsapp group where announcements will be made, as well an Instagram page and Facebook group.  Once an event is announced you can send a message for the exact location (we do this to protect the privacy of our space holders).  Each event has a different make up, often there are around 8 women in attendance, but this number can vary.  We meet and often the kettle is on and there are snacks available, there may be a fire, or other central meeting space.  Once everyone has arrived and we are settled, we come together in a circle.  We begin with a introduction and grounding meditation,  then move onto a sharing circle, giving each person time to bring to the circle whatever they need to express, and to feel the magic of being witnessed and held in a safe space.  We then finish with more grounding, more snacks and tea and time to share skills, tell stories and connect.
