Red Tent

Every other Friday I go to a group which is called Red Tent. It is run through the chiropractic clinic that I go to Foster Family Chiropractic. A group of women meet to talk about all the things that are involved in being a woman. These range from being a mother, wife, and goddess of the planet. We talk about the alternative things are going on like vaccines, the foods we eat and the energy that we putting out there into the world. It is a group of like minded women supporting each other as we pass through the different stages of our lives. We all have children and so we talk a lot about these issues. It is great to know that there are other women out there thinking and making the same choices and struggling through them as well.
The group for the summer has been meeting at the park instead of at the clinic. This has been great as we are outside all morning and there are large naps in the afternoon. I am sure that the other mom's coming to the park think who is that large group of woman that all roll in and lay out their blankets, put out their kids and yank out the knitting projects (not all of us knit, but there are a few of us that don't go far from the needles. ) The kids all play together, we all keep our eyes on each others kids and we enjoy a mornings talking with adults. Which is the most important part. While Sam is very articulate for his age he just can't carry a conversation like friends. This is a time that I look forward too and get excited when I wake and think it is a Red Tent Friday! (The name is from the book Red Tent, which I highly recommend reading!)
On another note my artist interview is over on Apples for Poppy Anne. I am so excited to be a part of what Erin is doing over there. She is an inspiration to Mom's and Artists. Be sure to check out the interview and the other crazy and inspiring things she is doing over there
