The Red Tent is Stirring Again
After a long, quiet pause, the Red Tent is reopening - not to recreate what once was, but to grow into what is needed now.
This next chapter is shaped by cooperation, co-creation, and a shared understanding that every voice contributes to the whole.
Since 2015, Red Tent Ontario offered a safe place where women could gather, share their stories, and support one another. That foundation remains. What is new is the intention to move beyond reflection alone and into collaborative creation - imagining and prototyping ways to bring more ease and joy into our lives.
If you feel drawn to connection, creativity, and meaningful participation, you are welcome here.

Red Tent Ontario is evolving gently, one circle at a time.
Mission & Vision
Our Vision
A world where people live with greater ease, supported by simple, collaborative structures that honour human creativity, emotional intelligence, and shared responsibility.
Our Mission
To gather people into small, heart-led circles that explore practical and imaginative ways to reduce friction in daily life - using sociocratic principles to ensure every voice is heard and every contribution matters.
Red Tent Circles
The Red Tent circle is a 'safe container' for women to be 100% AUTHENTIC. Within this safe space it's OK to be vulnerable, to take off your mask, to get to know the 'you' inside and how you really feel about the important stuff.
There's no judgement or expectation but a loving, accepting circle of sisters holding space for you to heal and grow. Just hearing your own voice speak so that others may hear, empowers you. When a woman finds her voice, she finds her power. You are listened to, no matter how weak or strong your voice.
All women are welcome. If your heart calls you to join us, please come. You'll be met with loving acceptance.
What Happens in the Red Tent?
Every gathering is 'organic' meaning that the activity or non-activity will flow according to the needs of the women who attend. It can be a SPIRITUAL experience, a HEALING experience, a BONDING experience, an EMPOWERING experience, an EDUCATIONAL experience ... you get the picture.
Most importantly, you get to be AUTHENTIC in an environment that encourages your self-empowerment and acknowledges your uniqueness.
A Red Tent Sister shared this:
'When you leave the tent - for a moment, or a month, or the rest of your life - you're the woman you WANT to be'.
We think that says it all.
What We Are Creating
Red Tent Ontario is becoming a hub for heart-led circles exploring an essential question:
What would make our lives better - emotionally, relationally, and practically?
We begin in small circles where people can:
* Speak freely without fear of judgment
* Think creatively and outside the box
* Explore solutions rather than staying in problems
* Listen deeply to different perspectives
* Take responsibility for their own contributions
Each circle starts locally and personally, with the understanding that ideas born in small rooms can eventually serve a much larger whole.
Red Tent Ontario holds the first circles. From there, other circles may emerge - connected by shared principles and supported through a sociocratic model of collaboration.
Invitation to Circle Leaders
Steward a Circle
We are inviting a small number of people to serve as Circle Leaders for this emerging initiative.
Circle Leaders are not facilitators with answers - they are space-holders who:
- prepare and care for the container
- establish clear and gentle guidelines
- encourage balanced participation
- help the group stay solution-oriented and grounded
We are looking for individuals who are:
- empathetic and emotionally intelligent
- open-minded and collaborative
- comfortable with shared leadership
- committed to leaving the world a little better than they found it
If you feel called to steward a circle, inquire below for more details.
