The Power of Authenticity

The Power of Authenticity

In a world that often rewards masks and performance, authenticity is a radical act. It means living in alignment with our values, showing up as who we really are, and allowing others to meet us in our truth.

Our special guest this month at Red Tent Aotearoa is Cecile Dransart from Aligned Holistic Coaching

Together, we’ll explore:

- What authenticity feels like in the body and how to notice when we’ve slipped out of alignment;

- The freedom and trust that come from showing up as ourselves;

- How self-connection strengthens our ability to be authentic with others;

- A simple practice to connect with your values and set an aligned intention;

Through guided reflection, gentle sharing, and embodied practices, this workshop invites participants to soften into their own truth. They will leave with a clearer sense of where authenticity is calling them, and how to step into alignment with greater ease and confidence.

Living authentically is a bit like being the DJ of your own life’s party: you choose the tracks that truly move you, not the ones you think you should play to please the crowd.

But how can this authenticity — this art of staying true to yourself and your values — transform your social life?

Let’s dive into the vibrant world of authenticity to discover how it can become your ultimate superpower in social interactions.

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.

The price to come to Red Tent New Moon circles is $30 for members and $35 for non-members.

Included with your ticket purchase is a welcome cup of ceremonial cacao from The Cacao Ambassador.

If the cost is prohibitive please get in touch.

Space is limited, so please register via Humanitix or email for bank details, so we can plan for your arrival. To help with our planning, please no door sales.

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.
