➤ A sacred, supportive monthly circle for healing connection, and joyful conversation.About this Event
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.
After October's Red Tent, you are invited to stay for a community potluck, extending our connection and time together. There is a kitchen on site if the food you bring requires refrigeration or reheating. (There will not be a potluck for November/December's Red Tent. Please see description below for more details.)
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.

✨October Red Tent with Natalie Viglione:
The Mother's Return: A Sacred Fire & Shadow Gathering of the Feminine Rebirth
Join Natalie Viglione for a sacred gathering in the days leading into Samhain as we step through the veil between worlds, into a space of remembrance, release, and rebirth. (Samhain is an ancient Celtic name, said like "sow-when," honored October 31 - November 1 each year.)
This evening is an invitation to weave into the Azure Breath of the Feminine (the Yin, the Mother, called many names since the dawn of time), a frequency that is about emotions, opening the heart, speaking truth with love, and more.
Through sacred and ancient wisdom teachings, poetry, and breathwork, we'll:
- Explore what the 144,000 archetypes are
- Discover and explore the concept of The Blue Ray of Creation
- Activate and remember the Mother as a field of compassion, intuition, nurturing, and deep emotional wisdom
- Engage in journaling and reflection through Fire & Shadow work to release what no longer serves, honoring Samhain's transformative power
This will be a space for feminine remembrance, ancestral healing, and emotional release.
Copies of Natalie Viglione's poetry book, The Reclamation of All That Is Organic and Pure: Harmony Through the Blue Ray of Creation, will be available for sacred exchange.
TO BRING WITH YOU: Bring a token for the Mother's Return Altar if you feel called, a pen and paper to write, and together we'll let the Mother's Light and Azure Breath guide us home.

✨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.
