Welcome

What we're about
If you look at our mission, you'll see that we're about creating change. Our vision is a world where violence against women isn't tolerated, where women get equal pay for their work, where access to reproductive health and information is so obvious a right that anything else is simply absurd...where racism, homophobia, classism, nativism etc. simply isn't tolerated.

Our approach
Our method is to create space for growth and change. Those spaces can be online, in real life, or in your mind. We invite you to use this online space to float ideas and questions, research things you might not have known about, and broaden your mind in ways that encourage you to see the world as bigger than you, bigger than your family, bigger than your city, state, country, etc.

What that means for you
When you join the Red Tent Women's Project network, you are agreeing that the world needs to be transformed into a better, more tolerant, more awesome place, and that you are going to help do that. How you do that is up to you, but our ultimate goal is to create a community where members are responsible to one another to create change. Nothing more, nothing less! And make sure you tell us what you're going to do (or did), because you never know...your action may very well inspire someone else's!

How To Create Your Moon Lodge, At Home

I read that in some ancient cultures women got to retreat into a Moon Lodge, Menstrual Hut or Red Tent during menstruation. It was a sacred place for women to renew, recharge, connect with one another and receive spiritual guidance.Foods were prepared and delivered to the moon lodge. Women were completely discharged from their worldly duties and responsibilities so they could turn their attentions inward and care for themselves.I have been longing for such a place during my menstruation – time…See More

Tell a Friend Why Processing Anger is So Important in Healing PMS/PMDD

I admit that it took me a very long time to uncover, understand and process the anger I’d held onto since childhood. Raised by a tiger mother, I was not encouraged, even allowed, to express the slightest hint of anger growing up. I learned to repress it and push it deep down into my psyche, and my body.I first discovered the powerful energy of anger within me when I had my initial …See More

Simple Foods to Nourish Your Blood

Every Chinese woman knows that one of the biggest secrets to health and beauty is well-nourished blood. When our blood is strong, we tend to have radiant skin, normal menstruation, and vital energy. And when our blood is deficient, we may experience dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, scanty periods, a delayed period, anemia or even premature aging.I didn’t start to appreciate…See More

Super Moon: How to Harness Your Creative Power

The moon is full again. And tonight’s moon is special. Because it’s 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons this year, it’s called a “super moon.” I wonder if you’ve felt its powerful effect on your body and your mind? I surely have.In the past few days leading to the full moon, I’ve been feeling tension within my body and restlessness in my mind. I wanted to shout out loud, throw punches at a heavy bag (the kind boxers use), run like a wild horse – anything to release this intensely…See More
