'Under The Red Tent' was co-created by Lianne Divine and Lorraine Ferrier and birthed on 11.11.2012. It began in Auckland, Aotearoa, New Zealand, the land of the first light of the sun in every new dawn that the world beholds. Regular sacred Women's new moon Red Tent gatherings take place around the Auckland and Northland region. Lorraine has since returned to England where her business 'Fertility
Joy' is based. In 2015 Under The Red Tent evolved into 'Red Tent Aotearoa'. Our Red Tent Aotearoa page is intended to inspire you with appreciation for the joyous attributes of womanhood. Do you recognize a deep inner yearning to enter into sacred communion, both with yourself and with other Women, in a safe and non judgemental environment where your voice is validated and appreciated? Red Tent Aotearoa is a sacred space where Women of any age, from Puberty to Menopause and beyond, are welcome. Together we collectively share in the phenomenal wisdom that Women nurture. The Red Tent restores an ancient path of Divine Feminine wisdom, reviving a template that our daughters can joyfully navigate, based on Vivilore, the timeless lore of living with vitality as a fully embodied woman, rediscovering, celebrating, embracing and honouring your unique Feminine attributes.
