Lammas Harvest Festival Sand Circle

Dear sisters, you are invited to share in a co-creation of sacred space with Aiyanna from Sand Magic By Aiyanna 

"Celebrating your harvest of 2024."

"I invite you to come and join me on a sacred sand journey on New Brighton Beach.

 Celebrating the Celtic festival of Lammas/Lugnasad, the summer festival honouring the harvest season.

Bringing this ancient wisdom, the wisdom of the Divine Feminine into alignment with the seasons and the hemisphere where we live. 

We start at 1.30pm

Please be on time as I work alongside Mother Nature and her tides. 

We gather an hour before low tide so we have plenty of time to create before the tide washes it away.

Holding sacred space in a public space makes being present at the beginning and the end important for the structure and integrity of the circle. 

Also, at the end I always ask people to make a wish for yourself and a wish for the world to send all the sand we have created with, off with a blessing around  the world.
Please bring a rake, stick or staff to draw in the sand with. 

I will have some if you don't have any. 

Bring layers to keep you comfortable from the sun and the wind.

We will meet on New Brighton beach under the pier."

 In order to help us plan, please book in early.

Tickets are:

About Red Tent Aotearoa-

"What women want is CONNECTION.
Not on a superficial level, but a REAL connection and support."

~Jill Natalia (RTA founder)

The Red Tent is a place for women to feel that connection and to offer and receive that support.

We want to help women to free themselves from the isolation of today’s modern world and find their tribe.

Red Tent Aotearoa has the aim to connect, collaborate, and create a community of strong and educated women in a supportive & nurturing environment.
We establish community networks and support between women by hosting local gatherings, and events in what we call 'Red Tents.

'Red Tent Aotearoa is not religious, and we invite anyone who identifies as female from 11 years + from all walks of life.
It’s our hope for everyone who enters each Red Tent to experience a sense of belonging, sisterhood, and strength that stays with them from then on.

Any questions please reach out to Jill: redtentaotearoa@gmail.com

FAQ:
What is the Red Tent and what do you do there?
The Red Tent movement is worldwide and stemmed from the book The Red Tent written by Anita Diamant.
Red Tents are spaces created by women, for women to come each month and share their stories, relax, feel nurtured, seen, and heard.
There is nothing required of you and the main goal is for you to relax, recharge and reset.

Each month at Red Tent Aotearoa is different, we invite a different woman to share her story, experience and interest with us so that we all can learn and become more confident. Some of our themes in the past have been; The Power of Pleasure, The Power of Identity, The Power of Grief, The Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness, The Power of the Spoken Word, The Power of Positive Touch, and The Power of Humility.

Our belief is that 'Power-with' instead of 'Power-over' will change the world.

Who is the host and why does she do this?

We have many Red Tent Aotearoa trained facilitators across the country.
Each Red Tent is hosted by someone different.

Jill Natalia is the founder of Red Tent Aotearoa and Red Tent Australia.
She is a Holistic Counsellor and Business Mentor with Conscious Consulting NZ. Born in Ōtautahi, Christchurch, she left when she was 18 and returned 28 years later in 2020. Jill is a community-focused change-maker with a devotion to non-profit organisations and a passion for non-violent communication. She has dedicated the last 11 years of her life to starting, growing, and sharing Red Tent Australia and now Red Tent Aotearoa. Organisations that helps start and support the birthing of Red Tent circles all over the country. Jill believes in the power of Red Tent circles to heal the women of the world and in doing so the ripple effect will be felt across the globe.
