The Quiet Hour - Evening Session

FAQs

• What actually happens in The Quiet Hour?

  You are gently guided into an evening of slowing down and reconnecting with yourself.

  We begin by arriving and settling in with a ground, clear and protect visualisation + ceremonial cacao (optional). From there, you’ll be guided through a meditation designed to calm the nervous system and help you soften out of the busyness of everyday life.

  The experience closes with time to journal and optional gentle reflection, giving you space to land back into yourself before returning to your evening feeling more grounded and clear.

• Do I need any experience with meditation or spiritual practices?

  No experience is needed at all.

  Everything is guided in a simple, accessible way, and you are fully supported throughout the evening. You don’t need to know how to “do” anything - just arrive as you are.

• Do I have to share or speak in the group?

  No.

  There is never any pressure to share, speak, or participate beyond what feels comfortable for you.

  This is a space of deep permission, including permission to simply receive.

• Is this suitable if I’m feeling overwhelmed, emotional, or not in a great place?

  Yes.

  Many women come to The Quiet Hour feeling exactly that way. This space is designed to support you in slowing down, softening, and reconnecting with yourself - especially during busy, heavy, or uncertain seasons of life.

  You are welcome exactly as you are.

• What if I don’t connect with meditation, easily fall asleep or I find it hard to relax?

  That’s completely okay.

  There is nothing you need to get right. You will be gently guided throughout, and many women find that even if their mind is busy at first, their body begins to soften simply from being in a supported space.

  There is no expectation to “empty your mind” or achieve a particular state.

  Also, if you fall asleep during the meditation, know that your subconscious is receiving. I also record each meditation at the end of the month and post on YouTube so you can replay the meditation at your place in your own time.

• What is ceremonial cacao, and do I have to drink it?

  Ceremonial cacao is a gentle, natural plant-based drink traditionally used in heart-opening and grounding practices.

  I make it dairy and sugar free, and it is completely optional.

  You are welcome to participate with cacao, bring your own drink, or simply sit and receive the meditation without it.

• How long does the session run?

  The Quiet Hour runs for approximately 80–90 minutes, depending on the natural flow of the evening.

  You’ll be gently guided throughout and will finish feeling grounded and complete rather than rushed.

• What should I bring or wear?

  Wear something comfortable that allows you to relax.

  You may also like to bring a water bottle, a journal, or anything that helps you feel settled. Cushions, mats, and blankets are provided, although you are welcome to bring your own.

• Is this therapy or counselling?

  No.

  The Quiet Hour is not therapy or counselling. It is a guided experiential space designed to support relaxation, self-connection, and emotional awareness.

  While many women find it deeply supportive and insightful, it is not a replacement for medical or psychological care.

• What is your role in the space?

  My role is to hold a safe, grounded, and intuitive space for you to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

  I write and gently guide the meditation and structure of the evening, while also allowing space for presence, reflection, and whatever naturally arises within the group energy.

• Do I need to be spiritual or “into energy work” to attend?

  No.

  This space is for any woman who feels drawn to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with herself - regardless of spiritual beliefs or background.

  You don’t need to believe anything specific to benefit from the experience.

• Where is this held?

  In the Sound Temple belle tent, 82 Matapihi Station Rd, Matapihi.

  You will see signage on the road, directing you where to go.

  There is plenty of parking on the road.

  The tent comfortably holds 10 people, although I limit The Quiet Hour to 8 people to ensure there is time for sharing and plenty of space to relax and spread out.

• How do I book?

  You can secure your place by following the booking link provided on this page.

  Spaces are limited to keep the group small and supportive.

  If you prefer to pay by cash, please contact me directly to book so I can hold a ticket for you.
