The Red Tent at Shakti

Join us every month for a Red Tent circle: a sacred, supportive space for female-identifying people to gather, rest, and share stories. Each Red Tent circle will be guided by a different practitioner who is committed to sharing wisdom, facilitating healing, and listening deeply.

Inspired by the Anita Diamant book of the same name, the Red Tent at Shakti aims to create a container where female-identifying people feel supported and empowered to care for themselves and for each other. Opportunities to learn and to deepen spiritual practices that honor the Divine Feminine and recognize the interconnection among all living beings will be the focus.

Since the Red Tent is a sacred space, we ask that you arrive early and give yourself time to park and to acclimate to the space. Once the ritual has started, we do not want any interruptions. Please be considerate of your sisters and arrive on time.

If you have been looking for sacred space, healing connection, and joyful conversation, then please attend the Red Tent at Shakti.

✨November and December Red Tent with Oreon Millard:

Hearth Circle

Hearth Circle invites participants into a shared, experiential exploration of active listening and sharing. A Hearth Circle is a place to share and be heard. To listen and to learn. Together, we will create a safe, sustainable, and trauma-informed space where participants can explore connection with self, connection to community, and connection to Matrifocal support.

Participants will share in a specified time what is on their heart & mind in a supportive circle. Women are offered an opportunity to share or to sit in sacred silence together during their time. There is no advice or personal wisdom offered. This is a chance to share without an expectation of solution seeking or problem solving. We strive to limit any “we” or “you” statements. This is a time to share fully, without receiving other’s perspectives or related stories.

Participation is always invitational. Personal expectations, standards, and choices are honored throughout. This Circle affirms that we are women having an experience every moment of every day—and that, with care and intention, we can support one another in restoring balance and connection to our experiences.

No potluck for this event, please. Come fully fed or with a snack you can eat without need for refrigeration or cooking/oven. We wish to create a space for women to arrive as they are. Without the need to bring a dish or anything other than themselves and their desire to connect in Circle. Water and hot tea will be available. Through this space, participants are invited to connect more deeply with themselves and one another, discovering the potential that exists both within the individual and within the community.

✨ Meet Oreon Millard

For the past 6 years, she has been developing and sharing this form of Hearth Circle with a focus on agricultural magical systems. She has coined the term AgriMagic for this Craft and has developed it with her decades of experience in the Witchcraft community and various groups.
