Dawn Cartwright - Women's Sacred Sexuality - The Red Tent workshop in Wicklow
Since ancient times women have gathered together to dream mystical dreams, share wisdom and renew sexual power.
Sitting in circle within The Red Tent, women are relieved of their daily responsibilities and cared for by other women. All working and doing aside, together they explore the secrets of the cosmos through the gateway of their wombs. They feed their femininity and emerge refreshed, renewed and empowered by what they have shared and witnessed.
Sisters, it is time to gather together again.
We will gather together to dream a potent dream of womanhood. We will be fed by the rich stores of nature; nourished by the fullness of our life's journey.
A women's retreat inspired by the book The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. An all new 2019 program, new practices and rituals for every theme below.
There's also the option to add a day, Sunday, April 14th, to lunch Monday, April 15th. A Red Tent Master Class specially created for women who would like to hold their own Red Tent sessions, circles, workshops and retreats. Details here in Events.

Accommodation . . .
Nestled in the heart of Wicklow, this lovingly renovated lodge - built on the foundation and surrounded by the antique gardens of an old hunting lodge - is one of the most beautiful Centres I've experienced anywhere in the world. The house is cheerful, warm and cozy.
The forest has the most mystical trees and they are very much a involved with all the goings on in our sessions. The river is extraordinary . . . I go down for a dip each morning. There are mosses growing here that exist no where else in the world. Mucklaugh is a very, very special place, it will love you and remember you each time you arrive . . . it's already begun to call me back from California.
Add a night! The Red Tent Master Class is designed for women who would like to create their own Red Tent circles . . .
