WOMEN'S SACRED GATHERING · A RED TENT EXPERIENCE हर्ष

Harṣa

Pronounced HAR-sha · Joy, Delight & Rapture

A sacred circle of non-judgemental listening, menstrual wisdom, embodied movement, womb connection, ritual, creative expression and honest conversations about sexuality, motherhood, pleasure, loss and change — held in rest, belonging and community.

THE WOMEN’S CIRCLE हर्ष

Where Women Gather,Something Awakens.

WHAT IS HARṢA?

Harṣa — pronounced HAR-sha — is a Sanskrit word for joy, delight and rapture: the subtle stirring of the body when something within us comes alive.

Inspired by the spirit of the Red Tent, Harṣa is a contemporary circle for women — a protected space to slow down, be witnessed and listen without judgement. Held monthly or quarterly, each gathering follows the living rhythm of the women who enter the circle.

We meet through sharing, breath, movement, womb connection, ritual, creativity, song and dance. There is room for honest conversations about the menstrual cycle, sexuality, motherhood, pleasure, loss and change — and also for silence, rest, celebration, tenderness and the remembrance that no woman has to carry life alone.

EVERY WOMAN BELONGS

Harṣa welcomes women of every age and every season of life — with a womb or without one, menstruating or not, young or mature, mothers or not mothers. Womanhood is not defined by anatomy, fertility, age or experience. You are welcome exactly as you are.

When women gather without judgement,
remembering becomes possible.

We do not gather to fix one another. We gather to listen, to soften, to celebrate and to remember the wisdom already living within us.

A LIVING CIRCLE हर्ष

Each Gathering Opensa New Portal.

Harṣa is not a programme to complete, but a circle that continues to unfold. Every monthly or quarterly gathering is a facilitated group experience held around one central theme — explored together through sharing, education, embodiment, ritual, creativity and rest.

Exploring trust, connection and what becomes possible when women gather.

No two circles will be exactly the same — because the women who gather are part of what the circle becomes.

THE RHYTHM OF THE CIRCLE हर्ष

How Each CircleUnfolds.

There is no rigid schedule to follow. Each Harṣa gathering listens to the women present, allowing the experience to move with the energy, needs and natural rhythm of the circle.

A LIVING RHYTHM

Arrive. Feel.
Explore. Integrate.

The structure holds the circle. The women shape the experience.

  1. ARRIVE

    Arrival & Grounding

    We arrive slowly, share tea and leave the outside world behind through grounding and presence.

  2. ENTER

    Opening Ritual

    The circle is opened with intention, shared agreements and a simple ritual that brings us into the space together.

  3. FEEL

    Embodied Exploration

    Breath, movement, sound or somatic practice invite us out of the mind and into the lived experience of the body.

  4. EXPLORE

    The Theme

    We enter the central theme through group learning, reflection, ritual, creativity and embodied experience.

  5. WITNESS

    Sharing Circle

    Space to speak and be heard without judgement, advice or interruption. Sharing is always an invitation, never an obligation.

  6. RETURN

    Integration & Closing

    We gather what has been felt through rest and integration, then close with intention before returning to everyday life.

Every circle follows its own rhythm, with time to arrive, feel, explore, share and integrate.

A SPACE WE CREATE TOGETHER हर्ष

The Agreementsof the Circle.

Safety grows through the way we listen, honour boundaries and care for what is entrusted to us. These shared agreements allow every woman to arrive in her own rhythm.

Womb Portals artwork accompanying the shared promise of the circle
OUR SHARED PROMISE

Held in Trust.
Met with Respect.

We protect one another’s stories, choices and boundaries — so each woman can participate without pressure to reveal, perform or explain.

  1. We Honour Confidentiality

    Personal stories and identities shared here are not carried outside the circle.

  2. We Listen Without Fixing

    We witness without interrupting, analysing or offering advice unless it is requested.

  3. Sharing Is Always a Choice

    No woman is required to speak. Silence, listening and simply being present are welcome.

  4. Every “No” Is Sacred

    You may pause, adapt or choose not to participate in any practice, at any moment.

  5. Every Woman’s Experience Belongs

    We respect different bodies, identities, histories, life stages and ways of being a woman.

  6. We Release Comparison

    There is no correct way to feel, express or experience the circle.

  7. You May Arrive Exactly as You Are

    No previous knowledge, practice or experience is needed to take part.

  8. We Honour the Scope of the Circle

    Harṣa is an educational, embodied and community experience, not medical or psychological therapy.

Care for your own boundaries while helping protect the dignity, privacy and freedom of every woman beside you.

CLARITY CREATES SAFETY हर्ष

What Harṣa Is— and What It Is Not.

Understanding the nature and boundaries of the circle allows every woman to enter with clarity, trust and freedom of choice.

WOMEN’S SACRED GATHERING

Arrive as you are.
Remain fully your own.

Harṣa Is

  • A facilitated women’s circle. Held with intention, care and respect for each woman’s boundaries and lived experience.
  • An educational, somatic and ritual experience. Learning, breath, movement, reflection, creativity and embodied practice.
  • A space for sharing, presence and community. A place to listen, be witnessed and connect.
  • A complete gathering in itself. Come once or return as the circle unfolds.

Harṣa Is Not

  • An individual session. The experience is created collectively.
  • Group therapy. It does not replace medical, psychological or therapeutic care.
  • A religion or belief system. No spiritual belief or worldview is required.
  • A demand to disclose. Listening and silence are equally welcome.
  • A sexual or nude experience. No sexual activity, intimate touch or requirement for nudity.
  • A programme to complete in sequence. There is no obligation to attend every gathering.
AN INVITATION, NEVER A PROMISE हर्ष

What might gentlyunfold for you?

Every woman enters from a different place. Nothing needs to be achieved, revealed or transformed. These are possibilities, not expectations.

    Find your language

    Discover words for feelings, desires, needs and boundaries.

  4. RECONNECT

    Listen to the womb

    Explore inner wisdom and body awareness, with or without a physical womb.

  5. REST

    Lay down your roles

    Pause without needing to caretake, achieve, explain or perform.

  6. BE HEARD

    Be witnessed

    Speak, if you choose, without being interrupted, corrected or fixed.

  7. CONNECT

    Create sincere bonds

    Experience shared presence and growing community with other women.

  8. HONOUR

    Welcome every season

    Hold beginnings, endings and transitions with tenderness.

You may experience many of these possibilities, one of them, or something entirely your own. There is no right way to experience Harṣa.

BEFORE YOU ENTER THE CIRCLE हर्ष

Questions arewelcome here.

You deserve to understand the space before deciding whether it feels right for you. Open any question below to learn more.

BELONGING, SAFETY & PARTICIPATION

About being in the circle

Do I need to menstruate or have a womb?

No. Harṣa welcomes women with or without a physical womb, menstruating or not. Womanhood is not defined by anatomy, fertility or a menstrual cycle. Womb-centred language may be explored symbolically, energetically or through body awareness, according to what feels true and appropriate for you.

Is Harṣa suitable after menopause?

Yes. Harṣa welcomes women in every season of life, including perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause. The circle honours changing bodies, identities, rhythms and transitions without treating youth or menstruation as requirements for belonging.

Do I need previous experience?

No previous experience with women’s circles, Tantra, somatic practice, meditation, movement or womb work is needed. Each practice will be introduced clearly, and you are always free to participate in your own way.

Will there be nudity, sexual activity or intimate touch?

No. Harṣa does not include nudity, sexual activity or intimate touch. Themes may include sexuality, pleasure or the body in an educational and embodied context, while clear boundaries and consent are maintained.

Do I have to speak in the sharing circle?

No. Sharing is always an invitation, never an obligation. You may speak, listen, remain silent or pass when your turn comes. Your presence is meaningful even when you choose not to share.

Can I pause or choose not to join a practice?

Yes. Every “no” is respected. You may pause, observe, adapt or step away from any practice at any time without needing to justify your decision. May will offer options wherever possible, but you remain the authority on your own body.

Is Harṣa therapy?

No. Harṣa is a facilitated educational, somatic, ritual and community experience. It is not medical treatment, psychotherapy or group therapy, and does not replace support from an appropriately qualified healthcare or mental-health professional.

Is everything shared confidential?

Confidentiality is one of the circle’s shared agreements. Participants are asked not to repeat personal stories or identify other women outside the gathering. May protects privacy within the scope of the facilitation; however, no facilitator can provide an absolute legal guarantee for the actions of every participant.

Can pregnant women participate?

This depends on the theme and practices planned. Please contact May before booking so suitable adaptations can be discussed. If you have medical concerns or pregnancy-related restrictions, seek guidance from your healthcare professional before attending.

Who is Harṣa for?

Women of different ages, bodies, histories and life stages — with or without a womb, menstruating or not, mothers or not mothers. You do not need to feel connected to femininity, spirituality or your body before coming. Curiosity, tenderness, questions and the desire to be among women are welcome.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

About joining a gathering

Can I attend only one gathering?

Yes. Every gathering is complete in itself. Join one theme that calls to you, return for a seasonal journey, or remain connected to the community without committing to every circle.

Do gatherings need to be completed in sequence?

No. There is no first level to catch up on and no required order. Any preparation requirements for advanced or specialised gatherings will be clearly stated in the event description.

Are gatherings in person or online?

Harṣa may include both. The format, location and access information will be clearly identified in each event announcement before registration.

How many women will participate?

Group size varies according to the theme, location and format. Capacity is intentionally limited to keep the circle personal and well facilitated. The maximum number will be listed for each gathering.

What should I bring?

Specific guidance will be sent before each gathering. In general, comfortable layered clothing, water, a journal and anything supporting physical comfort may be suggested. You will never be asked to bring an intimate object without clear advance information and choice.

Can I come alone?

Yes. You are welcome to arrive without knowing anyone. The opening helps everyone settle gradually, understand the shared agreements and enter without pressure to socialise or perform.

Will there be photographs or recordings?

Personal sharing and embodied practices are not photographed or recorded. Any optional group photograph or promotional moment will be explained separately, with explicit consent requested. Choosing not to appear will always be respected.

What language will the circle be held in?

The language is stated in each event announcement. If you understand it but do not feel fluent speaking, you may still participate through listening, movement, writing or silence.

What if I have accessibility or mobility needs?

Contact May before registering to discuss the venue, practices and possible adaptations. Accessibility varies by location and event format, so please confirm details for the specific gathering.

How will I know the theme and next date?

Themes, dates, formats, locations and booking information are announced in the Harṣa WhatsApp community. Members receive the next invitation and priority access when places open.

STILL HOLDING A QUESTION?

You are welcome to ask before deciding whether Harṣa is right for you.
