SOMETHING GOOD IS COMING YOUR WAY...
HAPPENING AGAIN IN FEB! Get a head start on your New Year's Resolution to become more confident!
Kia Ora dear ones,
I’m sure many of you, like me, are looking back at 2024 with reflection and curiosity as to what our lessons were, where we’ve gained knowledge and have crafted many fond memories.
The growth that I’ve had this year was hugely accelerated by stopping and taking time for introspection .This has helped me to be in a place of constant loving awareness for all the past versions of Jill that came before.
I’m setting myself up for the next version of me as I begin to understand how to manage my energy levels, let go of fear around asking for help and fully see the bigger picture of what we are creating in the Red Tent Aotearoa community.
I’ve been able to step back and look at where I was giving my power away, not setting boundaries and making decisions based in fear rather than in love.
Here’s a snapshot of what we achieved in 2024:
16 events total
14 in person and 2 online

None of these events would have been possible without the incredible support and collaboration of many amazing women, and so from the bottom of my heart I humbly thank you for hearing the call of the Red Tent and seeing the opportunity to come into circle and learn and grow with other women as our sacred witnesses.This is your Red Tent community, lean in and love hard.
I’ve been journaling on these questions below and invite you to do the same if it resonates.
What changed me in 2024?
I found a slower pace, well, actually I have been forced to. My health has not been great, I’m working on healing a large fibroid and if you’ve experienced this you’ll know how much it zapps you.
My energy levels had plummeted after the Facilitator training in April, so I called in support to run events. I had to ask for help.
I took 4 months off from facilitating in June, July, Aug and Sep. When I stepped back I became very challenged, searching for my own significance and became aware of my need for control and desire to deliver transformational spaces for healing at an authentic and top notch level. I also realised that communication is key for preparation and that people can’t know what’s in our heads without us sharing with depth and clarity.
What helped me keep going?
Support, love and acceptance, calling in the tribe and asking for the women who I’ve supported to in turn support me. Having the right people by your side is so incredibly important!!
Feeling how wide the gap is between light and meaningless connection in contrast to deep and meaningful connection. Choosing to surround myself with self aware and accountable humans, the people who are doing the work and walking their talk means that I can relax and know that we see each other fully.
What inspired me?
The courage, strength and vulnerability of women. The rise of the mature masculine. The beauty and depth of earth medicine.
The call of my magpie friends each morning on my lawn, inviting me to meet the dawn with amusement and delight.
What motivated me?
A deeper understanding that the information shared in the Red Tent is incredibly valuable!The space that is created for healing is priceless and needs to be unveiled, revealed and reclaimed.
The constant, unwavering support of my beautiful partner Andrew, he is my rock, and my gentle, fierce protector.
What did I find hard?
Saying ‘No’ and ‘Goodbye’ to things and people who weren’t meant for me, not rescuing anyone or trying to support those who couldn’t value it.
I found it very hard to slow down and take rest, even though it’s what I’ve been teaching for the last 20 years!
What am I proud of?
Offering “Come Here and Say That” public speaker training course in Oct with great success and satisfaction. Realising that I am ready, willing and able to offer my Opus vitae meae- the “Work of my Life” and as such I’ve been putting the finishing touches on a nine month spiral journey called “Walking The Priestess Path” that I will introduce at All That She Touches Retreat in May.
What am I looking forward to in 2025 and beyond?
I’ve been asked to be a Wisdom Keeper for an event in Taupō
14th-16th Feb please help us spread the word for this incredible event!Watch a video explaining more about it here
This workshop is the culmination of the last 25 years of study and knowledge accumulation for me.It will be a beautiful day of self discovery and initiation and introduction to the stories of old that still govern the laws of the universe today.
Cities of Light a very special Red Tent Sunday 23rd Feb from 3-6pm
This is our first New Moon Circle of the year and it is sure to be an enlightening event where Annie Southern and Laurie Starkey will share with us their knowledge about the Cities of Light.
You may have heard about cities of light in accounts of near death experiences (NDEs) where there is a light structure where other beings are present and there is a profound feeling of love.
You may have experienced such places in your dreams.
