In a world where women are often encouraged to suppress their natural cycles and emotions, Red Tent Women's Circle gatherings provide a safe space where they can be better understood and celebrated.
By coming together to discuss topics that are so often off-the-table, these gatherings become a symbol of acceptance and fellowship. There is wisdom available in all seasons of a woman’s life. The Red Tent community honors the Maiden, Mother and Crone by welcoming all ages. Bring your mother, your daughter, your sister, your friend, or find them in this Circle of Sistars. $22 per person.
Kristie's Red Tent (est. January 2024) is now a ‘wandering women’s circle’ that meets monthly for themed events across NE Ohio. Join Kristie Leahy Comsia and special guest facilitators for two hours of learning and inquiry on special topics. We are deeply grateful for the studios who are willing to host our community, and we hope you’ll join us at Yoga Central on the following dates:
Sunday, March 2nd 'Songwriting Salad: a Collective Songwriting Experience,' with musician Beth Gatchel
Saturday, April 5th TBD (possible Donation-Based Potluck Dinner)
Sunday, May 18th 'Internal Family Systems' with Dr. Katie Gamby PhD of The Wellife, North Canton
Sunday, June 1st 'Rainbow Tent: LGBTQ+ Inclusivity in Red Tent Spaces' with Paisley Parvati Devi

Our culture promotes a busy life full of titles, duties, and deadlines. While it is good to be productive, sometimes we may find it hard to slow down and simply be. Simply be as we are, no titles, no duties, nowhere to be and nowhere to go.
Join MJ Morrison, Reese Rowan, and Edgar Sanchez at Yoga Central on Saturday, May 31st at 1:30 PM for a day of presence with yourself, and life as it is. Leaving the past in the past and the future in the future, we will meet in the now for 4 hours of Yoga, meditation, reflection, reiki, a guided drumming meditation, and a sound bowl bath by Edgar Sanchez.
Hydrate at any time! While we do have scheduled bathroom breaks, please feel free to leave to use the bathroom at any time. Please do so as quietly as possible :)
Please bring a snack with you, water, a journal and something to write with, and your favorite blanket and or pillow.
