Honoring Menstruation + The Wisdom of the Red Tent with Elizabeth Ogletree

Honoring Menstruation, Menstrual Wellness, + The Wisdom of the Red Tent.

This week, I'm talking with Elizabeth Ogletree, Creatrix, Artist, and Priestess of the Red Tent.  We're jamming on breaking the taboo around menstruation and  tuning into our blood as holy, sacred, divine feminine power.

We met years ago when I hosted a Women's Sexuality circle at her beautiful Moon + Womb studio.  Elizabeth is passionate about helping women to rediscover ancient ways of maintaining womb health through ritual and magick.

Why breaking down the societally taught taboo of menstruation is a liberation all women need to experience.

A simple but powerful ritual honoring your menstrual blood as a sacred substance of peace that will deepen your connection to the Earth.
How to activate your ovulation and menstruation as times of creation and shedding during each month.
(even if you don't currently bleed)
How women's monthly cycles can serve as opportunities to let go of what no longer serves our lives and to create and manifest our hopes, dreams, and desires.
How to begin to see your cycle as beautiful, powerful and natural- and the responsibility we have to teach that to the next generation of women.
Surprising ways to connect with your menstrual cycles and eliminate shame.
and much more!


Sparked by an initiation as a Red Tent Priestess into the Our Red Tent Sisterhood, Elizabeth set out to solidify a thriving red tent community for the women of Denver, CO, gathering every month on the New Moon since October 2015. 

Inspired to follow this path by her Grandmother Sue, a woman who wore red every day of her life and who died when Elizabeth was 9 of ovarian cancer, Elizabeth felt a deeper need for women to rediscover ancient ways of maintaining womb health through ritual and magick. Through her dynamic and spiritually rich visions and paintings of the Goddess and her unique approach to working with the magick of the menstrual cycle in ceremony, Elizabeth provides inspiration, creative encouragement, and space holding for the women of Denver in her circles, offerings, and artwork.
