Dear Sisters,

You are warmly invited to gather in a sacred circle for a celebration of Ostara.

Ostara is the celebration of the Spring Equinox, when day and night are in perfect balance. In the Southern Hemisphere, this falls around September 21,

It marks the turning point where light begins to grow stronger, the Earth awakens, and fertility, renewal, and growth return to the land.

Ostara Women’s Circle
A space to rest, reconnect, and reawaken the light within. Together, we’ll honour the spirit of Ostara —The Goddess of Spring and Dawn, She is associated with renewal, fertility, and the returning light after winter’s darkness

Through ritual, reflection, sharing, and intention-setting. We’ll sit in circle, listen deeply, and support one another as we each tend our own inner spring.

This is a space of softness, of depth, of soul. A place to honour your wisdom, your voice, and your becoming.

Spaces are limited, so we can keep the circle intimate.

The price to come to Red or Silver Tent Sabbat circles is $30 for red tent members and $35 for non-members. Included with your ticket purchase is a welcome cup of Cacao. If the cost is prohibitive, please get in touch.

What do I bring?
Please bring a snack to share.
A journal to capture aha moments
Your water bottle..
It may be chilly, so please dress warmly.

Something for the altar (e.g., a sprig of greenery, a written intention, or a small item that represents spring)
Bring an open heart and a longing for connection.

Do I need to print my ticket?
No, we will have a list of attendees and will have already made space for you in our hearts.

This Sabbat we are joining North Canterbury Red Tent women so please note the change of address.

What type of women come to Red or Silver Tent?

Women from all age groups, all backgrounds, beliefs, and countries. Women who are ready for a shift, women who are tired of the status quo, Women who want a deeper connection to themselves and others.

Venue: Pines Karaki Community Centre, Chichester Street &, Batten Grove, The Pines Beach 7630

Welcome to the Waimakariri Silver Tent
I believe that women need to sit in a circle—not because we are broken or in need of healing, But because we are whole, and we are tired. We come to the circle for replenishment. To go deep to nourish the soul, the heart, and the spirit.

When women gather, magic happens. We know this from our own experiences. And as these circles grow, something more begins to stir: They become a beacon—radiating inspiration, sparking transformation, offering practical tools and soulful practices to meet life’s challenges with grace.

The Waimakariri Silver Tent welcomes all who identify as women—Maiden, Mother, Queen-ager, or Crone.

Together, we sit in a circle. We share our journeys, build connections, and honour the turning of the seasons here in Aotearoa.

As part of the Red Tent Aotearoa community, the Silver Tent holds sacred space for women transitioning through menopause, embracing their Crone years, and stepping into their roles as wisdom-keepers and elders.

While Red Tent gatherings traditionally align with the New Moon, Silver Tent circles gather at the eight sacred festivals of the Wheel of the Year— inviting reflection, connection, and celebration at these potent turning points.

Each Silver Tent is a reflection of the women who co-create it—unique, authentic, and alive. And yet, we all come seeking the same things: a sense of belonging, the space to be heard and seen, The slowing down and softening that replenishes our inner well, and the simple joy of sharing time and space in sisterhood.

This Silver Tent gathering is held in honour of Ostara—a time renewal, fertility and returning light after the darkness of winter.

Come as you are. You are welcome here.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the circle.
