Our first Red Tent was held in March, 2006...
Inspired by Anita Diamant's best-selling book of the same name, the Red Tent was a place where women gathered to help each other restore harmony, learn and grow stronger through soothing and energizing exchanges. Our version of Red Tent is an afternoon of spa treatments, personal growth and so much more. The event concept was inspired by the similarities between the holistic healing that takes place at The Marguerite Centre and in these spas.
Why this is important
Women are the fabric of our society. They hold families together. They give birth, nurture and love. Women are natural-born helpers.
But sometimes they need help.
There are over 20,000 women in Nova Scotia with addictions. The Marguerite Centre is a healing place for women recovering from addictions and abuse. It is the only facility of its kind for women in Nova Scotia.
The Marguerite Centre believes in the opportunity for women to recover from their addictions in a safe place where their unique needs will be met, their issues addressed and their voices heard. Our holistic approach to programming empowers women to travel on their personal path to healing and recovery. This approach is having remarkable results. The women say that 'here, life begins again'.
Now you can help.
By supporting Red Tent you are helping the women at The Marguerite Centre regain control of their lives, realize their potential, and reclaim their place in society.
Red Tent is grounded in the ancient knowledge that when women gather in the sentiments of sharing, joy and healing, wondrous things happen. Please click here to see the 90 second Marguerite Centre Video.
