The Purple Tent

For many years women have come together in The Red Tent – a place to explore their menstrual cycle and womanhood.

In 2017, Global Women Connected are pleased to announce the launch The Purple Tent – a gathering of women who wish to explore their life journey and celebrate womanhood.

We know we do better, individually and collectively, when we encourage and empower one another to enjoy and engage in life.  Aimed at women of any age but especially those over 40 years, the Purple Tent will be a safe, confidential and welcoming space. We want to share our experience of womanhood and all its transitions, exploring the impact on health, wellbeing, family and work.

We want to have time to remember who we are, honor being a woman in a safe place where we can share and learn from our experiences, and make new connections. Everything discussed during the meeting will be kept confidential.

We want to have time to remember who we are and honor being a woman in a safe place where we can share our experiences. In The Purple Tent, women will meet to share food, happiness, laughter, problems, secrets and energy.

Events will be hosted in any comfortable environment and are not for profit.  All attending are asked to bring some food to share with the group.  We aim for the group size to be about 10 women.  As well as getting to know each other, we will discuss a particular topic, such as female icons, social media, sleep, exercise, the menopause and loneliness.

The first Purple Tent gathering was held in Saffron Walden on 26th January and the first London event will be held on 6th Feb.  If you would like to be involved in a Purple Tent event in your area, please contact joyce.harper@ucl.ac.uk.
