🌕 Rākaunui ritual for women at Numi (October)
Event description
Calling all inspired wāhine
Maramataka Series
This Spring, I am holding a series of women’s circles inspired by the energies of the Māori lunar calendar. Each crafted with authenticity and beauty as we engage in ancient feminine practices as we move our dreams into new realities.
About Cleo
Nau mai and welcome. My name is Cleo Shortland and I hail from the Far North (Ngāti Hine) and the East Coast (Ngā Ariki Kaiputahi) of Aotearoa. I live with my 10 year old son in Kerikeri where I craft rituals from my cottage before travelling and sharing these with inspired women to experience and enjoy.
The circle - Rākaunui ritual for women
You can expect a warm and friendly welcome when you arrive and it’s encouraged to arrive from 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. We begin with karakia, which grounds us in our safe and sacred circle, officiating the beginning of the ritual.
We will move into the magical energy of Rākaunui, the Full Moon. Rākaunui is when the moon is at its fullest and is the perfect energy to work with for manifestation and launching new ventures.
Through kōrero, guided visualisation, journaling and invitations to share, we gain a deeper understanding of what this means for us and taking this into the evening’s ritual, which threads in the power of Rākaunui into our dreams, wishes and heart’s desires.
After our transformative journey, we are brought back to the every day with karakia and then moving into relaxed conversation with nourishing refreshments to promote a restful evening.
What to bring?
- If you would like some inspo on how to dress: think celebration, movement and comfort when seated.

Housekeeping
- We don’t consume drink or food during the ritual (refreshments are served following the ritual).
- The platter is vegetarian and may contain gluten and nuts.
- Porotaka wāhine (women's circles) are sacred and the experiences and words shared in the space remain in the space.
- There should be ample free parking outside the space and in the area.
