How special it is to gather together in person, to be with other women and children in community and ceremony. Such a potent experience to gather in song, dance, and learning on sacred land in the mountains of Colorado.

To gather in the deep nourishment of our bodies and spirits. To acknowledge and honor the ancestors.

Can you feel the call? Does the ache for connection pull you at your core? We feel you. The community of Red Earth is here for you. 🌹🩸🌺

Join us this summer in ceremony, community, and connection on sacred land this July 31st-August 2nd, 2026

🌿Watercolor Botanical Portrait: The Ethereal Mugwort🌿
An Online Pre-Conference with Bianca Camacho - BEGINNER FRIENDLY!!

📍Join us TOMORROW June 10th from 6:30 - 8pm MST for a creative 90 minutes, painting “The Ethereal Mugwort” with Bianca Camacho:

This online workshop will explore the silvery, mystical beauty of Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) through the delicate medium of watercolor. We’ll work with different techniques such as wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry to bring our painting to life. We’ll also play with fine liners or pens to learn how to create mugwort portraits in different styles.

Preparation & Materials: As this is a fully virtual experience, please ensure your workspace is set up before we begin. You will need watercolor paper (cold-press recommended but not necessary), a basic palette including greens and earth tones, and a mix of medium and small brushes. Additionally, have either a waterproof fine-liner pen, a fine sharpie, or a simple ball point pen.

Whether you are painting from a sunlit studio or your kitchen table, bring your curiosity and your own favorite supplies as we dive into the world of botanical art.

This event is only $20 to attend, and will be a fun way to connect to this year’s plant ally. It also helps us to offer our main gathering this July 31st through August 2nd. You are welcome to join this class, even if you can’t make our main gathering.

Stay tuned for details about one more online pre-conference! ✨

✨ Meet our amazing Space Holders ✨

Nikki Dugas - Red Tent Keeper 🩸🌺🌹

Nikki is a mama of 3, a wife, a pursuer of spirit, and an entrepreneur. She has a strong interest in herbs, natural healing and shamanic studies.

Nikki is an enthusiast & optimist who tries not to judge, but instead to believe in the path of every human spirit. After her own journey in naturally healing an autoimmune condition, she was opened up to the largely unknown ability of the earth and our bodies to heal themselves. This led Nikki to pursue shamanism, herbalism, and earth-based spiritual practices.

Nikki loves to research energy medicine, ancient texts, and esoteric mystery-school beliefs. Supporting and holding strong relationships with women is something she has always done. She loves circling with women and feeling that deep inside we are all the Mother, constantly creating, cultivating, and holding our creations to their fullest potentials.

🩸 The Red Tent, also known as a moonlodge, is where women gather apart from the day-to-day chores of the community to share and receive wisdom. In offering this space, we do not necessarily seek to recreate the traditions of other times/cultures, rather we seek to create space within our present reality to honor the sanctity of womon’s experience of menarche, menstruation, and menopause. All women, no matter where on their menstrual or life cycle are welcome!

Be sure to come spend some time in this sacred space!

Greetings women,

Blessed Full Moon, goddesses! 🌝

I just love the full moon this time of year, when we can see the plants growing so quickly. Everything is lush and green, flowers are blooming, and the evergreens are offering their delicious and medicinal spring tips. Even when life feels too full, too hard, or simply too much, the forest has a way of healing us.

Take some time to visit a local hiking trail. Take off your shoes and walk barefoot on the earth. Breathe in the sweetness of the forest, admire the flowers, gather a few edible or medicinal plants if you feel called, and give thanks.

With the evergreens showing off their spring abundance, I wanted to leave you with a delicious and medicinal recipe. Spruce tips are rich in vitamin C, supportive for the lungs, and full of vibrant chlorophyll.



🌲 Spruce Tip Honey Shrub Recipe

2 cups spruce tips, lightly crushed
2 cups honey
2 cups apple cider vinegar
Place everything into a jar and stir well. Let sit for 6 weeks, then strain and enjoy.

I love adding 1–2 tablespoons to sparkling water for a refreshing summer mocktail. Bonus points for a beautiful glass and a little ice.

Enjoy!

Blessings,
Astrid Grove
Founder, Lead Organizer, and Ceremonial Director
