Kia ora dear Women, I've been putting off sending you a newsletter.It's not that I don't want to communicate, but I'm feeling (like many of you) a bit unsettled and not sure about setting dates in my calendar, as it's so frustrating to have them change again (and again)However, with SO MANY EXCITING EVENTS COMING UP it's hard to keep all the news quiet so here goes!!Our next monthly New Moon Gathering will be on Sunday 19th September- The Power of Confidence with special guest speaker Megan Seil.We all know that confidence is the key to getting everything we want in life, from being able to say what we want to say with purpose and passion to speaking up when the moment gets tough. Megan will share her story and help us step into some easy-to-remember tips for building confidence in all areas of our lives. We really hope you can make it!Our next big event is our weekend retreat 'BROKEN' & BEAUTIFUL on Sat 2nd-Sun 3rd Oct.We have room for 20 women to stay overnight for this life-changing weekend retreat- EARLY BIRD PRICES AVAILABLE FOR 10 MORE DAYS!Payment plans start at just $50 on full-price tickets.

Secure your spot HERECourageous Conversations is a monthly facilitated mixed-gender discussion held every Full Moon from 6 pm-8:30 pm in The Barn at Cracroft Guiding Center in Christchurch.All are welcome, entry is just $20/$15 unwaged.Our next event will be a zoom meeting on Monday 6th September- Exploring Our Anger!The Kaupapa-These events have been created for people who want to learn how to listen with the same passion that they wish to be understood. Too often, we are thinking about our response before the person has even finished speaking.  When we learn how to communicate fully with clarity, kindness, and courage there is no situation we cannot manage.During these evenings we will explore different communication styles and always invite attendees to look at things from different perspectives.At these events, we invite everyone to speak so that we can truly see them. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are given precedence in every korero.The topics will be controversial, juicy, taboo, and ALL the things we don’t usually talk about.We invite you to connect on a deeper level so that together we can create a community of courageous, conscious beings who are all working on becoming better humans.What it’s not-It’s not therapy, if you are needing one-on-one treatment and want to speak with a counselor then we suggest you do that. This is an open discussion where everyone is heard and has the opportunity to speak. This is not a rushed, nicey-nice, bright, bustling gathering of quirky games.What it is- These circles will be limited to under 20 participants to reserve intimacy and to give the time to go deep.One of the main reasons this event has been created is to transform the social anxiety that we all feel, into the courage to speak up in any situation. Courage is contagious and community is where it grows. These events will not be for the faint of heart, there will be no small talk.Who is it for? People who want to become more courageous in their everyday conversations, to speak the words in their heart, say what they mean, and mean what they say!This pic is from our July circle- The Power of Papatūānuku with special guest speaker Meg.Did you know that I offer Holistic Counseling and Business Coaching?I am a fully trained Holistic Counselor and Business Mentor, contact me to schedule your free 15-minute phone call to see how I can help you.
