Who else feels like this year is just getting started?
I'm only just into a routine of back to school, back to work and just starting to get my plans together for 2024. I am really loving the cooler evenings and the abundance in our veggie garden and fruit trees. There seems to be a real

need to gather and start to celebrate our hard work and make plans for the future too. My clients are coming in with amazing ideas for both businesses and personal passion projects. I'm taking on new clients at the moment, please reach out if you're feeling stuck or want a hand in planning.
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY PICNIC IN THE PARK
Suzanna and I are excited for International Women's Day, we hope you can join us for our picnic in the park on Sunday, 11th March from 11-1pm at Halswell Quarry. Theme: Women want to be heard!
Since the beginning of time women have been talked over, interrupted, mansplained, and taken off topic while trying to make a point, or share their opinion.
But you know what, women have got something to say so now it's time to stop and listen.
We invite you to come to a picnic in the park where women will be talking and men are invited to listen. Don’t worry Men, we do want to hear from you too, but this time the women will go first.
Women, what do you want men to know?
What is alive in your heart dear woman?
Let's talk about the relevant things in our lives.
Let's talk about how Red Tent highlights and can affect those relevant things.
Let's talk about what Red Tent means to women and invite our men to be part of the conversation.

Testimonials from past participants: "The Red Tent Aotearoa Facilitator training has not only gifted me the foundational jewels and framework that I need to hold a safe & sacred space for women to commune and connect but also the appreciation and gratitude of the inner strength and power of courageous ‘ordinary’ women paving their extraordinary path. We, Us women, are indeed leaders in our own rights - birthing, nurturing, grounding, forging alliance with the womb of creation. Red Tent is that resounding trumpet calling us to commune in sisterhood, embracing our leadership of guiding virtues of compassion and grace. So it is!"
~H. Mali Waikato
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Red Tent Facilitator training I took part in, in October 2023. It opened doors to my own healing that I was not aware of. It is not for the faint hearted. Jill's teachings have allowed my own experiences to become the foundation for the capacity in which I can offer and provide a container to allow other women to learn about themselves. I am grateful for the sisterhood that I have been blessed with because of the Red Tent 💖"
~Samara Westport
"If you are wanting to connect with other women, or are longing for a supportive and safe space to be, and express yourself, share deep thoughts. Look no further you have found a safe place! Highly recommended for self care, growth and connection with women." ~ Ali Hokitika
