There’s no physical red tent!
But……Red Tent is a gathering, a female led circle — a space to pause, gather and reconnect with yourself and other women away from the demands of everyday life.
The name Red Tent is inspired by the colour red, traditionally associated with menstruation, the womb, blood, life, death, birth and the cyclical nature of women’s bodies. It also draws inspiration from ancient traditions of women gathering together to rest, share stories, pass down wisdom and support one another.
A modern Red Tent offers a chance to step out of the noise and into a slower, more intentional space.
There may be meditation, breathwork, gentle movement, ritual, journaling, sharing, storytelling, tea, music or simply time to rest and be witnessed.
There is no pressure to perform, fix, advise or have the right words. You are invited to listen, share as much or as little as feels right, and connect with your own inner wisdom.
Why attend?
In a world that often asks women to keep going, a Red Tent creates space to stop.
It can offer a sense of belonging and connection, reduce isolation, create space for emotional processing and reflection, and remind us that we don't have to navigate life alone.
It is a place to be witnessed rather than judged, to honour the changing seasons and cycles of our lives, and to reconnect with the body, intuition, community and the wisdom we carry within us.

Everyone belongs in the Red Tent
This Red Tent is a space for women, femmes and non-binary people who feel called to gather in community.
We welcome disabled and chronically ill bodies, neurodivergent minds, trans and queer people, and bodies of every age, shape, size, colour and ability.
You do not need to menstruate, identify as a woman, be spiritual, or have any previous experience of women’s circles to belong here.
We recognise that bodies and identities are diverse, and that there is no single way to experience womanhood, femininity, embodiment or community.
This is a space to come exactly as you are — whether you want to share, listen, move, rest, cry, laugh, sit quietly or simply be held by the presence of others.
No fixing. No performing. No fitting yourself into a box.
Just space to be human, to be witnessed and to belong.
Your Space Holders
Sarah King
I’m Sarah, a trauma-informed somatic coach, breathwork and yoga teacher, and women’s circle facilitator.
My work is rooted in the belief that our bodies hold incredible wisdom — and that we need spaces where we can slow down enough to actually hear it.
I create grounded, inclusive spaces for women, femmes and non-binary people to reconnect with their bodies, nervous systems, intuition and one another.
My approach weaves together somatic practice, breath, movement, nature, ancient wisdom and modern nervous-system understanding — without pressure to perform, fix or become someone else.
I believe community can be medicine, and that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is come together, put down the armour and remember that we don't have to do it all alone.
