“I’d like to become more involved with the divine feminine and the moon gatherings but am not clear on how it works if you don’t have a group in your community.”
Most likely, you do have women’s circles in your community. You just do not know of them. And if you really, truly don’t have anything like this in your community, I know you have women interested in this.
You just have not found them yet.
We are working on a computer app to help women use the power of the internet to connect in their community. In the meantime, here are a few suggestions:
- Check out Isadora Leidenfrost’s Red Tent Movie site here to find a Red Tent close to you. Red Tents are open, communal women’s circles where women can set aside their expected roles and come together seeing the ties that connect us all.
- Check out some of the online events. A lot of them are free. I have been posting them in our facebook group here. You can check out Sharon Ann Rose’s site as she does some free calls such as her upcoming Women of the Wild Heart.
- There are also lots of wonderful audio messages, meditations and videos … so many incredible websites out there! Alisa Starkweather is another well known voice in this movement. You can sign up for her mailing list and receive your free audio of “Permission to be Powerful; Reasons to Claim Your Fierce Feminine Life” here.
Most importantly, set the intention. Keep your eyes, your ears and your heart open. There is no one ‘right’ way to do this. There is no rule book; it is about coming together with others, setting aside your daily responsibilities for an hour or two, making time to connect, allowing yourself to be vulnerable to each other and looking inside your heart to learn the best way to go about being yourself.
You can print out a flyer here … take this and put it up at your local health food store, yoga or Unitarian church. Or call your friends; all you need is a couple other women, and a willingness to love and learn.
“You will be teachers for each other. You will come together in circles and speak your truth to each other. The time has come for women to accept their spiritual responsibility for the planet.”

Thanks for the resources. Also, there’s Gather the Women, a global matrix that connects Women through Circles 🙂
Thank you. Yes, I have heard good things about Gather the Women! Here is their website: http://gatherthewomen.org/
Please use caution when entering into a Red Tent. I had a very very bad experience as I had a major falling our with the leader of the Hudson, MA tent. I spent many hours helping set up the tent and being her whipping post and I felt that she took advantage of my kindness. This falling out was circulated through the tent and I was left alone in a courtroom without any support at all advocating to get a restraining order against the man that raped me. The leader there made sure that women unfriended me on Facebook and were just plain mean in general. I tried to send two messages to Alisa Starkweather’s sites asking for support and explaining what happened. I was ignored. That is not how women stand together at all. The man who raped me has had five restraining orders against him and has never been found guilty of anything. When women stick together thats when change happens, not when a group outcasts and shuns another woman. That is not okay under any circumstances.
I am very sorry to hear you had a traumatic experience, and I wish you healing from it. And yes, you are correct, Red Tents are like any other organization, religion or gathering out there in that there are good ones and bad ones. I would encourage everyone to use their intuition, set boundaries and be careful to stay safe. As I said, I wish you healing.
