The Red Tent Temple movement will kick off March 27 from 7-9 p.m. at the centre outside of Lucknow as an opportunity for both spa treat- ments, information sharing, organic cosmetic and nail care, food and socializing. "It'll be a chance to rest, rejuve- nate and help nurture others on a physical and spiritual journey," said Grassroots' Linda Johnston. "It's about honouring our differences and sharing in community to learn from each other." Johnston said they're encouraging "teens to grandmothers" to come out and take part each month, or when- ever they choose. The Red Tent Event will feature the film "Things We Don't Talk About" by Isabelle Gabrielle Leidenfrost and will share details on being an "offi- cial group" of the Red Tent Ili It's about honouring our differences and sharing in community to learn from each other." — Linda Johnston Movement that has followings in Europe, Australia and the United States. "This is a sisterhood, not a club, where we can share and learn," said Johnston. "The outcome will be because of everyone who comes to share in the circle." Johnston said Red Tents are histor- ically represented as "Moon Lodges" by native women. She said during Biblical times it's where young women were sent close to a new moon or during menstrual cycles or birth, as it was thought to be unclean during Biblical times. She said it evolved into a time where women could be together to share and learn, as a nurturing experience. The movement was inspired by the late 1990's fiction "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant and was started in 2007 by Alisa Starlcweather. That type of learning experience is lacking in society, she said, which is why it's seeing a revival worldwide to meet that need. They hope to create a sense of community from the events and grow into new activities as the events progress throughout the year. "It's a chance to laugh, share, cry and have a lot of fun with things," she said. The area will be decorated for comfort and there may also be an opportunity for other treatments like reflexology and reiki. Johnston said they're also looking forward to welcoming people to the retreat, since it was moved from the house to the farm. She said many people thought it had closed, but it had only moved to grow into new services and opportunities. "It's going to be a great opportu- nity," said Johnston. Attendees are encouraged to wear something red to add to the atmosphere. For more information call 519-528- 2210, e-mail ljohnston@tnt21.com or visit grassrootsretreat.com.
