a place to pause, reflect, and connect
Sunday Stillness 4-530pm
@ Maraetai Beach Community Hall
upcoming dates: 29th March 19th April
A gentle and deeply restful practice, helping you to restore – ready for your week ahead! You will be given opportunities to connect with your breath and your body, with the intention of allowing you to be grounded fully in the present.
We will start with some gentle movement to release tension and tightness in our bodies, before moving on to supported relaxation through restorative yoga postures (where we use blankets, pillows and other supports to hold our bodies and support them fully). We will then complete our practice with a Yoga Nidra – also known as yogic sleep! This is a relaxation practice in which you will be guided into a deep place of rest.
$40
Bookings essential. Limited spaces available.
Women’s journal circle Sundays 7-830pm
@ the Log Cabin, Beachlands
upcoming dates: 8th March
What is a journal circle?
Each session is a space to pause, journal and share in safe community. You’ll leave feeling grounded, seen, and gently reconnected with who you are.
In each circle we will start with a relaxation practice. I’ll then offer guided prompts on the evening’s topic or theme, before giving you the space to put pens or paintbrushes to paper, to explore these in any way you would like - whether by writing, drawing, or just putting colour on a page while you reflect.
There will be chances to chat and connect with like minded women within our local community, both through the session and as our circle comes to a close.
Sharing is always optional, and whatever is shared in circles stays in circles.
No journalling or ‘creative’ experience is necessary. Show up exactly as you are.
feedback from journal circle attendees
I enjoyed the safe space to talk. Without judgement. I struggle to open up to people so for me this is a good way to reflect and a great way to connect.
I felt quite joyful and lighter [after the session]
[It was] a great space to embrace creativity which can be hard to create space for in day to day life.
