2018 Red Tent
September 8, 2018
Communities around the world have been organizing Red Tents as a special place for mothers to share their birth stories, celebrate birth experiences, and heal from traumatic ones. We gather as a community of women each year to hold that sacred space with and for each other. The goal of every Red Tent is to create sisterhood, record our stories, and practice deep listening.
SDBN will be holding its Annual Red Tent event on Saturday, September 8th, 2018.
Session 1: 12:00pm
Session 2: 3:00pm
Location: 7094 Miramar Road suite 109 SD 92121
A Red Tent is a time for women of all ages to share and/or listen to birth stories. It's a day of celebration, connection, motherhood, and often healing.

History
Red Tent events began reemerging in a more popular forum here in America when Karen Brody, a writer, activist, mother, author and playwright of Birth, (a realistic portrayal childbirth) founded and started BOLD. Ms. Brody and BOLD wanted to create a way that various women and organizations could organize and hold local Red Tents on or around Labor Day and use BOLD's format to make it easy and set a precedent. SDBN used the leadership of Karen Brody and BOLD and began holding local Red Tents in 2006. SDBN started with small circles in local parks and invited women in the community as a way of meeting a very important need. The event grew each year (and continues to grow) and SDBN still holds our Red Tent on or around Labor Day as a special way to honor "labor", birth, and the need to tell and share our stories.
Raffle
Not only is the SDBN Red Tent event a way to outreach to the community, it also serves as a fundraiser for San Diego Birth Network. One fun part of the Red Tent is our raffle. If you are a local business wanting to get your name and products out to the women in our community, consider donating goods or services to be raffled off at the end of the event. If you would like to donate an item for the raffle, please contact us!
