Red Tent: Sacred Feminine Rites of Passage
Remembering the wisdom of the womb.
Women are cyclical beings, connected to the Earth, the seasons, and the moon.
Our blood is sacred; it carries the power to birth life, to renew, to cleanse, and to create. We bleed with the moon, thirteen times a year, just as the Earth turns through her own rhythms.
And yet, in modern society, we’ve been taught to see our cycles as a burden. Many of us, myself included, hold shame and trauma in our wombs, spending so many years hiding our blood, silencing our pain, and passing through our rites of passage without ceremony.
The womb was once honoured by ancient civilisations (and still honoured in some cultures) as a sacred centre of creation and intuition, yet has been forgotten by a patriarchal world that lost its reverence for the feminine.
The Red Tent is a return to the celebration of our life-giving power as women.
It is a ceremonial space to honour the feminine rites of passage, to reconnect with womb wisdom, and to remember the power that lives within us. This is a space of tenderness, truth, and remembrance, held in ritual, story, and deep presence.

The History of The Red Tent
Long before religious institutions and modern medical practices, women held sacred spaces for all matters of the womb. They bled together in dedicated gatherings, they birthed with other women, they mourned in ritual, and, together, celebrated each cycle of life, just like the moon, just like the earth.
Red Tents, sometimes called Moon Lodges, were places where women withdrew from daily life to rest, connect with the ancestral spirits, channel dream visions, and receive wisdom from the womb.
I first learned about this ancient practice in Anita Diamant’s book, The Red Tent - a first-person narrative that tells the story of Dinah, a character in the Christian Bible, and her perspective of life in that time through the lens of a woman. I then learned that these practices of womb-reverence appear across many civilisations throughout time, and have been suppressed by the modern-day patriarchy.
The book moved me deeply and ignited an ancient remembrance in me that relates to the inherent way of the feminine.
I now intend to be one among the many who will revive this sacred tradition so that women have safe, nourishing spaces where we can honour our bodies, the earth, and the unseen threads that connect us to our ancestors.
About your Guide ☥💫
I am a multidisciplinary mystic, initiated in sacred energy activation, meditation, and ceremonial healing. As a keeper of threshold spaces, I hold ceremonies as portals of remembrance and initiation, guiding others through the sacred work of healing, transformation, and returning to their soul truth.
What to expect in a Red Tent?
Each Red Tent is held with reverence and attuned to your unique needs. It may include:
Opening cacao or herbal tea ritual
Womb meditation and energy clearing
Cycle awareness or first-blood storytelling
Blessing rituals (e.g., rose water, anointing, song)
Channelled Divine Mother energetic activation
Journaling, sharing, and integration
Sacred space setup (altar, symbols, candles, red fabrics)
My intention is that all souls remember their divinity and come home to who they truly are, without fear, hesitation or uncertainty. I believe freedom is our birthright, yet from a young age, we are made to feel limited in our sacredness. You are sacred. And I intend to help you remember.
A little more about why I do this…
When I bled for the first time, there was no one to hold me. No one to initiate me into my sacred role as life-giver. No one to honour me as a woman. I looked at my blood and felt fear and shame, and subsequently ignored that part of me—my sacred feminine essence—for the next three decades. I went on birth control, saw my blood as a burden and masculated myself to fit into a society that asks women to act like men; hustle, work, and strive. I did this for so long I became completely disconnected from my womb; the cosmic portal between my thighs. Then, about three years ago, I moved through some intense somatic womb healing brought about through the combination of meditation, sister circles and a healing relationship with a man who created the space for me to transmute sexual trauma - all of which existed because of the shame (both ancestral and current) held in my womb space.
I wish no woman would relate to my story, but I know you all will in some way, shape or form.
I am devoted to changing the narrative. Women are sacred and deserve to be treated as so. It is through my deepest devotion that I create a ceremony for you, wherever you are on this feminine journey, so that you feel how deeply sacred you are.
During my ceremonies,
you can expect:
A dedicated central alter space honouring the four directions; Water, Air, Earth, Fire
An Acknowledgement of Land and Country
An infusion of cacao with other herbal medicines like Blue Lotus or Mugwort
An honouring and welcoming of ancestors, dieties and people from the spiritual realm
A guided meditation or visualisation practice to help participants relax, feel grounded, and open their minds and hearts to the experiences that may unfold during the ceremony
The facilitation of a sharing opportunity where participants can express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a supportive and non-judgmental environment
I take a non-dogmatic approach to all my ceremonies and do not follow any one particular faith. Instead, I bring in my beliefs around the interconnectedness of all beings, past and present, as well as my clairsentient ability to feel the energies around us. All of my intentions come from a place of love and compassion, wanting people to feel safe, heard and connected.
