Part of each Red Tent Event is the creation of altars. They are different each month, and we invite participants to offer to create the altar at future Red Tents. They are beautiful, ephemeral works of art, as well as the sacred focal point for the sacred space that is created through ceremony and intention. We also invite offers to lead the ceremonial opening and closing of the evening, in whichever tradition or style you wish, as long as it is honouring of women, or by extension, the Earth Mother. I offer the photos here for inspiration, acknowledgement of past beauty created, and an opportunity to learn about various styles in the manner they've been offered. If there are different elements, animals, etc. associated with the directions in your tradition, we welcome that offering, as well as acknowledge that the altar does not have to mark the directions.
