Wakefield's Red Tent

Wakefield's Red Tent We meet the first Tuesday of every month. A place for all ages of women 18+ to gather, share or not It all started from a humble novel written by Anita Diamant.

Dream Time Creative CIC, along with some of their volunteers proudly opened their studio space to allow for this monthly women’s group, The Red Tent that has been running since April 2018 in Wakefield City Centre. Sadly, we do not have a permenant venue at the moment, so we meet in various group members' lounges! It is part of a global network of women’s circles that meet around the world. Red Ten

ts are spaces intentionally co-created for women to share, connect and authentically be. They are spaces for women to share their stories, rest and gain strength from being together and supporting one another. At our Red Tent we think about Red Tents as spaces to break our silence and replace it with radical collective care, spaces where care becomes a blueprint between us and where ritual, respect and honesty help us engage together in the long-term work of unpicking oppressive systems. We acknowledge the often unconscious complicity of women’s sacred spaces in maintaining injustice. Red Tents consciously challenge these structures and facilitate a culture between women of connection, cooperation, mutual support, and solidarity.

🙏Being in the moment with our non-dominant hand is a great mindfulness tool to practice.
🙏Using your non-dominant hand for art can help bypass perfectionism and boost creativity by encouraging experimentation and play.
🙏It can help you enter a flow state more quickly and reduce fear of making mistakes.

🏵️It’s a way of manifesting your unique expression.

🪼It is about being in the moment.

🎨It is about allowing yourself the freedom and headspace not to self-judge.

🪬It is never about how others perceive you.

🙏🏼It is never about a finished piece of art.

🌊It’s about the being and doing that benefits your holistic wellbeing.

🧡It’s for the joy and release of it.

🎨It’s about allowing yourself to be playful and relax.
