The Power of Breath- Red Tent Aotearoa

This event has passed Get tickets

Event description

Kia ora dear sisters, you are invited to a very special Red Tent Circle on Sunday 3rd July from 3-6pm to discover The Power of Breath.

We are incredibly lucky to have Kathy Guidi as our special guest, Kathy is Aotearoa's only certified Shamanic Breathwork facilitator.

Shamanic Breathwork utilizes a dynamic breathing process called conscious connected breathing along with chakra attuned music, bodywork, and an art integration & sharing process. You are guided on a journey where you can drop deep and tune in to your inner wisdom and achieve an altered state of consciousness, by-passing the ego-mind, and tapping into what’s underneath the surface thereby leading you to experience whatever is needed for your highest growth and healing.

During a breathwork session, you can experience any number of states of being from anger & grief, to utter bliss and connection to the cosmos; you can have a womb memory experience (rebirth), you might uncover childhood memories, or you may experience downloads or a deep Knowing. The full spectrum of humanness is available and no two breathwork journeys are the same.

Shamanic Breathwork is a healing modality where YOU are your own healer, YOU are your own shaman, and YOU contain all the information you need for inner transformation and healing.

"I endeavor to create a very safe container for YOU to undergo your process of transformation. Whatever needs to come up for you that day can come up to be seen, understood, and healed. It is imperative during these phenomenal times we are living through that all emotions are expressed and moved out of the body."~ Kathy Guidi.  

At this Red Tent Aotearoa circle you'll hear about the Power of Breath and get to experience 'an introduction" of this amazing modality.

About Red Tent Aotearoa.

What women want is CONNECTION.

Not on a superficial level, but a REAL connection and support.

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

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

This includes a cup of ceremonial cacao at the beginning of the circle.

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 each month to share her 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 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?
Jill Genet 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 9 years of her life to starting, growing, and sharing Red Tent Australia and now Red Tent Aotearoa as a non-profit organisation 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.
