Kia Ora dear ones, I'm sitting in front of the fire reflecting on how many incredible connections, deep chats, and belly laughs I've had over the past couple of months with you, and how healing it's been!I feel like I'm finally getting my energy levels back up and I'm excited for what's to come. Thank you for your ongoing support and desire to belong to this magical movement. From the bottom of my heart I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful community that continues to grow around Red Tent Aotearoa.We finished our 3 month Mary Magdalene study circle with Dr Annie Southern last Sunday. This community circle was a huge success, with 20 people signing up in less than two weeks. We are sorry if you missed out on this round, however, you'll be pleased to know that Annie has decided to repeat the series again beginning in Sep, so watch out for that event launch in the coming months. Annie will be facilitating community circles on the second Sunday of every month and I'll be hosting Red Tent Circles on the fourth Sunday of every month at the Quaker Center in Ferry Road, Waltham.  Confirmed: All That She Touches (ATST) will be an annual retreat at Glenroy Lodge. After the incredible success of our weekend retreat we've decided that we will run the ATST retreat again next year at Glenroy. We'll let you know in plenty of time when everything is ready to launch.We had our 2025 Facilitator Training in March at Cracroft Guiding Center and welcomed the next cohort of leaders to the Red Tent Aotearoa organisation. We've set the dates for 2026 (4th-8th March) and are open for expressions of interest for the March 2026 Training!Find out more here

Upcoming Monthly Red Tent Circles

We have a beautiful circle coming up on Sunday, 25th May from 3-6pm with Libby Millar from The Rebirth as our special guest speaker. Libby will be sharing with us The Power of Understanding the Feminine Value In a world that often asks the feminine to shrink, quiet, or perform—what would it mean to radically inhabit the truth of heressence? To stand in the full force of her beingness, knowing her very existence is enough?Then on Sunday, 8th June from 3-6pm we are thrilled to be holding a community circle (all genders welcome) Conversations with Laurie from Cities of Light with Dr Annie Southern. Laurie Starkey is a being who came into Annie Southern’s life from a city of light five years ago. She is a child and speaks through Annie. At ‘Conversations with Laurie’, Laurie will talk with you about what she knows about the cities of light and discuss with you our connection as spiritual beings to the higher light realms. We had such a phenomenal response from the women who attended our February Red Tent Circle- 'Cities of Light' and so many of you missed out on that circle, due to it being fully booked so quickly, that we decided to host a community circle with Laurie and Annie. Please note this circle is not open to the general public, it is an invitation only circle.Please email [email protected] (or reply to this) to find out how to book.
