We'd love you to join us on Sunday afternoon, 13th July at 2:30pm NZ  for a virtual gathering: joining with Australia and NZ friends:

Winter Revelations: Embracing the Darkness - Turning toward the Light

Join us for a seasonal gathering where we’ll listen to ancient creation stories from Celtic, Māori, and Unitarian Universalist traditions, and share songs that honor the turning of the year. Together, we’ll reflect on where we are in the natural cycle of death and rebirth—both personally and as a community.

In a time when the world is marked by conflict, division, and uncertainty, such moments of shared reflection ground us in something deeper. They awaken our sense of connection—to the Earth, to each other, and to the wisdom of those who came before us. By turning inward and listening to the rhythms of the natural world, we plant seeds of peace, compassion, and renewal—within ourselves and in the wider world.

As we surrender to the mystery of the unknown, we ask: what quiet seeds of new life are beginning to stir in the dark?

Come join us tonight to explore the dynamics of the breath.
We'll begin by briefly sharing our joys and concerns and our Spirit of Life song. Our speaker tonight is Patricia Prema. She has been a Breathwork Practitioner since 1987 and been assisting others to awaken to the truth of themselves since then.

Through the use of Conscious Connected Breathing, she was personally able to release thoughts & memories that no longer served her and to create a more conscious & happy life. Through breathing consciously, we can move forward in life emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually in a vibration of love rather than fear.

Tonight, Patricia will lead us through an exercise which will allow us to experience a taste of what focusing on our breath consciously can do for us. And in turn, contribute peace and upliftment in the world.. (Read more about Patricia at https://breathworkers.org.nz/breathwork-practitioner.../)

Come join us for The dances of universal peace. From the beginning of time, sacred movement, song and story have brought people together - at times of seasonal ceremony and celebration, as part of everyday life and life passages, in daily renewal and meditation.

The dances of universal peace set phrases from the world's wisdom traditions to live music and use simple, easy to learn movements, led in a community circle. They evoke an embodied sense of unity, presence, joy, and compassion, touching our spiritual essence.
