PRIVATE COMMUNITY TENTS
Custom Emerald Tent experiences for communities, organizations, and gathering.
The Emerald Tent is a living, responsive container—one that can be shaped to meet the unique rhythms, needs, and intentions of a specific community.
Private Emerald Tents are custom-designed experiences created in partnership with local groups, organizations, and leaders who are seeking to bring people together in a more meaningful, human way.
who these tents are for
Private Community Tents are designed for communities that want to create space for:
-
Deeper connection and belonging
-
Reflection during times of growth or transition
-
Nervous system support in high-demand environments
-
Meaningful conversation beyond surface interaction
-
Shared experiences that strengthen trust and relationship
This may include:
-
Mothers and parenting communities
-
Men’s and women’s groups
-
Families and intergenerational gatherings
-
Workplace teams and leadership groups
-
Nonprofits and service-based organizations
-
Retreats, wellness spaces, and community hubs
WHAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE
Each Private Community Tent is thoughtfully shaped in collaboration with the host of the community.
Together, we consider:
-
The intention of the gathering
-
The current season or experience of the group
-
A guiding story or theme that reflects that landscape
-
The structure and pacing of the experience
While every Tent includes the core Emerald Tent elements—landscape threshold, story, shared witnessing, somatic practice, and collective integration—the tone, focus, and depth are tailored to the people in the room.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS EXPERIENCE
A Private Community Tent experience offers a rare kind of gathering:
-
A space that feels both grounded and meaningful
-
A rhythm that allows people to slow down and arrive
-
Opportunities for authentic reflection and connection
-
Gentle, guided practices that support the body and nervous system
-
A shared experience that often extends beyond the Tent itself
These are not presentations or workshops. They are held experiences—where something real can emerge, be seen, and be integrated.
WHY THIS MATTERS
In many spaces—families, workplaces, communities—there is a quiet desire for something more:
-
More connection
-
More honesty
-
More presence
Private Community Tents create the conditions for that to happen—without forcing, fixing, or over-structuring the experience.
They offer a way to gather that feels both ancient and deeply relevant to modern life.
EXPLORE YOUR OWN TENT
If you feel that an Emerald Tent could support your community, I invite you to begin a conversation.
Each Private Community Tent begins with a simple exploration—a chance to understand your group, your intention, and what would serve best.
From there, we co-create an experience that fits.
a gentle note
Tending Anxiety circles are not therapy or medical treatment.
They are facilitated communal rituals grounded in embodied presence, deep listening, and nervous system awareness.
You are always free to participate at your own pace.
