Red Tent Sisters - It’s good to be a woman

Are you ready to manage your fertility naturally and effectively?

Are you ready to say goodbye to pregnancy fears,
hormonal side effects and clumsy birth control options?

Welcome! I'm so thrilled that you are considering managing your fertility naturally and in a way that honours YOUR body, YOUR natural rhythms, and YOUR deep intuitive knowledge of your body (if you don't feel intuitive - no worries, you just haven't been taught to tap into that inner wisdom... yet!).

What is the Fertility Management Secrets of Divinely Empowered Women
Group Intensive?

The Fertility Management Secrets program is a training and support group for women who want to empower themselves to manage their birth control naturally and effectively. With proper education and implementation, women can learn to manage their fertility without hormones or external devices and to do so with 99% efficacy (the same rate as is boasted by the birth control pill and IUDs)!

This is a place where your desire to manage your fertility naturally will converge with your desire to treat your body and our planet with respect, appreciation and reverence. It's a place to embrace a new belief system that puts your fertility at the heart of your power as a woman. Heart and Hands

Along the way, you'll be surrounded and supported by a circle of women just like you - women who are forging a new relationship to their bodies and to their reproductive health.

I believe that your desire to live in harmony with your body's natural rhythms has brought you to the possibility of this program. Regardless of what your relationship to your fertility has been in the past, you see how honouring the natural fertility cycle is essential to living a life in integrity with who you are as a woman.

You are destined to claim your rightful position as the authority on whether, when and with whom you will conceive... destined to become so attuned to the inner workings of your body that all choices regarding your sexual expression and creativity are made in collaboration with, and in honour of, the source of your divine feminine energy.

"Whoever travels without a guide
needs two hundred years for a two-day journey."

Over the past hundred years scientific knowledge about the nature of our fertility has made it possible for us to understand the underlying mechanisms of our fertility with astonishing accuracy. We now know that you can pipoint the exact day of ovulation using a simple drugstore thermometer and that you can measure your body's ph compatibility with sperm with a quick wipe of the toilet paper.

What all this means is that women no longer need to rely on expensive and harmful drugs or devices in order to control whether or not they have children. We also no longer need to sit in the dark, wondering day after day whether a late or missed period means we are pregnant. The knowledge we need to be fully in control of our reproductive decisions is available to us... right now!

Firstly, businesses that thrive off selling "stuff" have nothing to gain (and, truth be told, much to be lost) from women gaining this kind of knowledge. If every woman was capable of managing her fertility naturally, what need would we have for the myriad of other birth control options?

Secondly, we live in a society that prizes the "quick fix" solution. If you have a headache, you take a tylenol, if you have a cold, you take a decongestant, and if you don't want to have a baby, well, you take Alesse, or Yaz or ... you get the point.

Thirdly, most of us spend much of our lives fearing pregnancy. And it is a natural and normal human reaction to want to put as much distance between us and our source of fear as possible (this reaction is especially handy if we are being attacked by a lion, for example). As a result, most of us spend a lot of time trying to distance ourselves, both physically and emotionally, from what's going on "down there."

Your body does very specific and predictable things every month in preparation for the opportunity to conceive, implant and sustain an embryo. When we learn what these things are, and how to track them in a systematic way, we can pinpoint our exact days of fertility. The three signs of fertility that we can learn to "read" are:

Once we have learned what to look for, how to track and interpret our fertile days, we are then in a position to make informed choices. On the days of fertility we can choose to abstain from sexual activity that may lead to pregnancy, or we may choose to use a barrier device like a condom or cervical cap on those days. On days when we know ourselves to be infertile (in a typical cycle75-85% of the days are infertile) then we need not concern ourselves with birth control.*

Yes and no.. You don't need a class to learn this. Like all things, it is possible to learn this information from a book. The information is out there. The reason you would want to take this course is not because you can't learn the information but because learning it is useless if you can't figure out how to apply it. And applying it can be tricky, especially when you're doing it alone.

How do I know? I tried. I consider myself a pretty intelligent woman and I even have a degree in health sciences. But after three months of trying to implement my learnings by myself I finally admitted I needed help. I have seen from working with women over the past several years that integrating the information, acquainting ourselves with our bodies in this deep way, is where the hard work is.

We all know that when we hit roadblocks, it can be easy to choose the path of least reistance and just give up. Whether it is a new exercise regime, learning a new instrument or language, we all need a mentor or teacher who is going to coach us through the tough parts, be our cheerleader when we are down on ourselves, and share their wisdom when we are frustrated. And it also helps to have fellow students to cheer you on, offer support and keep you on track.

Having played with multiple formats for delivering this education and support over the past few years I am convinced that the best way for women to learn is through a program that provides consistent and ongoing support with fellow women who are on the same path. It is for this reason that I have bundled my signature process for learning fertility awareness into this six month group intensive.

The program runs for six months on Tuesday evenings at 8pm EST. In the first two weeks of the program there will be two calls per week in order to get you launched on your fertility management journey as quickly as possible.

The program will cover Red Tent Sisters' signature process for learning, implementing and mastering fertility awareness.

In addition, there will be 8 Q & A calls, and three small group mastermind calls where you will receive one-on-one coaching time with me to address individual concerns.

And as my gift to you for enrolling I am also including three bonus guest calls:

Bonus Call #1: Detoxifying from the birth control pill & eating for reproductive health

What foods, supplements and lifestyle practices can support you in detoxifying your system of synthetic hormones? How can we best support our bodies in attaining optimal reproductive health? In this call Naturopathic Doctor Tara Andresen will answer these questions and more.

Bonus Call #2: Risk-free sexual practices for the natural birth control user

How do we maximize pleasure for ourselves and our partners during our fertile days? How do we turn our birth control practice into an opportunity to expand our repoertoire of sexual practices and increase our sense of connection and intimacy with our partner? Sex educator and co-owner of Red Tent Sisters, Kim Sedgwick will answer these questions and more!

Bonus Call #3: Embracing the spiritual and emotional lessons of the menstrual cycle

How do we make sense of the emotional, energetic and mental shifts that occur over the course of the menstrual cycle? In this call Zahra Haji, founder of Yoga Goddess, will share her wisdom and answer your more esoteric questions about the power of the menstrual cycle.

You may be surprised to learn that medical research shows fertility awareness to be 99.4% effective in preventing pregnancy. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) strongly recommends fertility awareness as the most safe and effective way of empowering women to manage their fertility worldwide.

I have taught hundreds of women this method over the past few years and among those who have consistently applied the concepts, none of them have conceived unintentionally. Additionally, among those who have eventually chosen to conceive nearly all of them have conceived within their first two cycles of trying.

Personally, I have been using this method of birth control since my daughter was born nearly six years ago. Even with an active sex life, my partner and I have confidently avoided pregnancy for nearly six years.

Registration for the fall session of Fertility Management Secrets is now closed. To be put on a priority notification list for the next session please e-mail emmaatredtentsistersdotcom.
