When it comes to living with gratitude, no one brings more wisdom to the Red Tent Living community than our beloved matriarch, Mary Jane Hamilton. Together, Mary Jane and Tracy reflect on the power of a practice of gratitude: from helping us see goodness in the day-to-day to instilling a sense of confidence and peace in the face of loss. As Mary Jane and Tracy speak on navigating different kinds of grief, they reflect with candor on how gratitude has continued to ground them and enrich their lives. Join them to discover the potential of gratitude in transforming your own life.

To love well requires great intentionality, sacrifice, discomfort, a willingness to listen, to learn, and to act.

Hate is easy and begins with subtle distancing of those we don’t understand or disagree with.

May we each choose to lean into love and do the work to grow it daily.

We kick off season 4 with this sweet, New Year’s reflection between Katy and Tracy as they process relationships coming to a close and relationships being birthed, all through the lens of gratitude.

With a focus on embracing our own humanity and leaning into our shortcomings and the hard moments, Katy and Tracy look for the ordinary magic that makes the day to day worth living.  Join us for this refreshing conversation to reframe your perspective on engaging with loved ones this coming year.

Happy Self Care Monday. How are you practicing self care so far this year?

12/26/2024

It has been a year of change and growth for us. As we closed out the writing space on the Red Tent Living website we moved forward in cultivating more face to face encounters with Sacred Interruption retreats, story groups and Red Tent Dinners.

It remains our joy and passion to help women experience connection, belonging and spiritual growth.

Your financial gifts and prayers help make this work possible. We ask that you consider making a year end gift or commit to a monthly gift.

It’s Christmas Eve and our time of advent is drawing to a close as we turn our hearts and minds to the arrival of Jesus and celebrate light breaking forth in the darkness.

This week, Tracy and Katy reflect on God as love, pondering how the Christmas Season invites us to remember that Love is With US and to risk extending love.

For this is the story of Christmas: that God chose to embody love, with all of its suffering, because he longed to come alongside us. He knew the cross lay at the end of the road, and he risked love anyway. Join us as we dare to hope this Christmas that we may we be brave enough to do the same.

When it comes to the thin spaces of our lives where we are laboring to birth life,  it’s difficult to overstate the power of a midwife, or wise woman, who has walked the journey before us and can offer her hope, peace, and courage along the way.

For this week of advent, Katy and Tracy discuss the places where they have labored for life, and needed the guidance of another woman and where they have each gotten to provide that encouragement in the aftermath of their own hardships. With a special attention to what God has to say about the strength of a laboring mother and the hope of a midwife, this week is sacred, connective, and inspiring.

Happy Self Care Monday. How are you practicing self care this week?

12/04/2024

Welcome to the first week of Advent. This is a season of waiting and anticipation: a season of leaning into the hope that God is with us and God comes to us again and again. In the coming month, Katy and Tracy reflect on what advent means for us today. Inspired by Mary’s journey as a pregnant mother, we examine advent through the various stages of carrying and birthing life into the world (whether physcially or metaphorically). It’s a series of Christmas conversations unlike any other, and we hope you’ll join us on the journey!  *Trigger Warning* This episode engages the biblical story of Bathsheba and her experience of sexual violence.
