We gather this month as the veil between worlds thins to venerate our Ancestors, to re-member our stories, to honor our past, and to celebrate the Pagan New Year.

Activities include:
  • Feather Smudging
  • Goddess Blessing
  • Guided Meditations
  • History of Samhain
  • Honoring of the Ancestors
  • Invocation of Grandmother Spider
  • Create a Witch Ball
  • Protection Spell Invocation​

Participants are asked to create and share a photo of their Ancestor Altar to be blessed in ceremony. Together, we will create and consecrate our own Witch Balls to ward off evil spirits. witch's spells, and ill fortune. Please see details and suggestions below.

​To do ahead of time: create an altar for your ancestor(s), this may include a picture, special item of the person you are honoring, a family heirloom, candles, items to represent the elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit. Please see Creating Your Personal Sacred Space for a description of items that represent the aforementioned elements.

To have on hand: a crystal ball, silver or clear glass Christmas ornament, protection oils, protections herbs, silver, red or clear ribbon to tie to top for hanging, small red circle of cloth to hold oils and herbs, any other items you would like to include in your Witches Ball

To maximize your experience, the day of: prepare a nice comfy place to sit or lie down during the meditation and have your journal readily available to record any insights you may have throughout the duration of our gathering. It is wise and helpful to create a sacred quiet space, free from distractions, so you are able to be fully present in the Temple of the Goddess.

What is Red Tent?

Each Tent offered is an opportunity to enter the Temple of the Goddess. A Divine honor and privilege to be alive in a place and space in time where we are safe and free to gather. Together, we are healing our wounds of suffering and silence from the past. As we heal, our healing ripples across time and space reaching through the portal of time. To be seen by the Goddess and witnessed by our Sisters is more powerful than you can imagine!

Interested in learning more about Red Tent?
The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant, is the book that has inspired a Global Movement. Women who read this book unlock an ancient memory and longing to gather with other women and remember who they are as sacred and holy vessels of Spirit. ​

​
There is also a wonderful documentary officially endorsed under Nectar of Life Counseling called Things We Don't Talk About: Women's Stories from the Red Tent.

Not sure about how Christianity and the Goddess can co-exist? 
Dance of the Dissident Daughter, by Sue Monk Kidd, opens long hidden secrets of what was dissolved from scripture through intentional acts of erasing the value and importance of women. The research has already been expertly done by a self-proclaimed conventionally religious woman.
