Step into the sacred embrace of Hine-Ahu-One, the first woman in Māori creation stories, formed from the red clay of Papatūānuku (Mother Earth). She embodies fertility, creation, grounding, and the divine connection between earth and spirit.

This immersive workshop is a journey into the womb of creation, inviting you to reconnect with your inner wisdom, creativity, and the nurturing forces of the earth.

What to Expect:

• Sacred Storytelling & Meditation – Journey into the origins of Hine-Ahu-One through guided meditation and mythic storytelling.

• Earth-Based Art Activation – Express her energy through clay work, watercolours, shaping your own creation from the elements.

• Embodiment & Voice Activation – Awaken your primal voice and body through gentle movement, sound, and breathwork, deepening your connection to the earth and your creative power.

• Herbal Tea & Reflection Circle – Nourish yourself with a warm herbal infusion as we share insights and integrate the experience.

This workshop is for women, artists, healers, and seekers who wish to deepen their relationship with their creative essence, the sacred feminine, and the wisdom of the land. No prior art experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to explore.
