About Red Tent
The Red Tent in Los Gatos was created with the belief that the community is best served by a community.
It has been created to support women through all of life’s transitions.
The Red Tent offers women of all ages opportunities to come together to nurture and care for themselves and one another through women’s circles, a variety of workshops, creative art, music, movement, one-on-one life strategy consults and much more. Through compassionate and loving support, women can give birth to a new self.
The Red Tent will be open beginning April 4th, 2011 for women to stop by, take a breath break…schedule an appointment, sign up for a workshop, gather information about local resources, or simply sit and take a break in their day to sip a cup of tea/coffee, read a book or just simply rest. Open hours will expand with time as awareness and needs grow, please see our calendar for up-to-the –minute Open Hours.
The Red Tent also offers professionals who are working with women and women’s empowerment the opportunity to offer workshops, seminars, groups, etc. out of The Red Tent’s space.
It is a beautiful space in which ALL women are nurtured, honored and supported with love and compassion.
