About Red Tent Café
I wanted to start this project for many years now
-by Izabela Tomala
At some point in my life I was hit with the realisation that a lot of things I did and wanted in my life weren’t really my wants. And by not really knowing myself, I took other people’s goals and dreams as my own.
I tried a lot of things to discover what my heart really wants from this life, and even though this journey is still far from finished, I progressed the most by writing down my experiences, by bringing my shadows, my shame, my not so perfect actions to the forefront.
I want all women, including me, to have space where we can experience the power of writing and sharing, free from being analysed, judged or advised.
What is the meaning of the name Red Tent Café
Red Tent, or Moon Lodge, is a gathering of women during the New Moon. A time when we would learn about our natural cycles, when we would reflect, rest and share. I want Red Tent Café to be a similar experience for women, a place to discover our individual salves via the art of storytelling.
