SUMMARY:Full Moon Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Ruth Holden | The Sound Temple\nCome and unplug from the world in nature and receive\, be nurtured and feel connected. \nThis is a two hour sacred fire ceremony and sound bath with cacao. These circles are held in the Sound Temple and on the land surrounding\, we gather round the fire for a powerful intention setting and connection and prepare the participants for a deep sound journey.  Each event is individually curated\, making best use of the opportunity to work intentionally in flow with the planetary alignments and realise the incredible potential that comes with the various phases of the moon. \nAfter the fire ceremony we enjoy a high quality locally sourced cacao\, Essence cacao is a sacred elixir from Samoa that enriches the experience by aiding in expanding the heart chakra to create space for expansion and vulnerability. This medicine can help you journey into states of higher awareness and connect you to your inner desires. \nThe Sound Bath: after the cacao we settle in for a deeply nurturing and nourishing sound bath. This can consist of any of the following:  tuning forks\, essential oils\, medicine drum\, crystal bowls\, chimes\, shakers\, crystals and harp. Reiki may also be included. \nAfter the sound bath the circle is closed and our guests have the opportunity to drift off home or to stay and share. Those who stay will be invited to journal\, chat and have a sleepy tea together to unpack the experience. \nThe full moon brings a natural conclusion to past cycles and it is a time to let go of that which no longer serves. \nThe Sound Temple is a no phone zone. Enjoy the connection with others without digital distractions. \nThere is a zero tolerance policy for alcohol and drugs. Any guests who are under the influence will be asked to leave and no refund offered. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Harikoa Collective at The Jam Factory
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Jam Factory Tauranga\nViolinist Amelia Taylor and cellist Jesbery Hartono-Hall come together for an exciting programme exploring the extraordinary possibilities of the violin and cello duo. From the elegance and lyricism of Glière’s Eight Pieces for Violin and Cello and the warmth of Godard’s Aubade\, the programme journeys into the rhythmic energy of Iannis Xenakis’ Dhipli Zyia before culminating in Ravel’s monumental Sonata for Violin and Cello. \nWritten in the aftermath of the First World War and dedicated to the memory of Claude Debussy\, Ravel’s Sonata pushes the two instruments to their limits\, creating a work of remarkable intensity\, colour and imagination. Across the programme\, violin and cello become partners\, rivals\, storytellers and equals—sometimes blending as one voice and at other times engaging in a vibrant musical dialogue. \nJoin two of New Zealand’s accomplished chamber musicians for an evening of music that is intimate\, expressive and full of contrasts. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Tea Ceremony and Sound Journey
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Ruth Holden | The Sound Temple\nThis is a full immersion into tea ceremony with sound. Held in in a beautiful space\, this is an invitation to slow down and savour tea\, sound and life. \nMark Ryan will be brewing and pouring the finest artisan Sheng Puer tea\, sourced from Yunnan province in China\, then Ruth Holden will be providing sounds and a sound bath journey after the tea session. Mats\, blanket and eye pillows are provided for your comfort. \nAfter the tea ceremony and sound journey we will have a light supper\, tea creates a special kind of hunger and we will enjoy some Chinese treats. \nTea is more than just a beverage —it’s a practice and a way of life. We are in love with art and practice of tea\, and we are excited to share it with everyone. \nDuring the tea ceremony\, you can simply relax\, enjoy the rituals\, and savour the wonderful flavours of tea. \nThis practice also helps us slow down and be more aware of each moment\, allowing us to connect with ourselves and appreciate the hidden beauty within every cup of tea. \nThe sound journey will include chimes\, rattles\, crystal bowls\, gongs and drums. \nPlease be aware:  \n🏯 The ceremony starts on time\, so please aim to arrive 10 minutes early to park and take your spot. We can’t accommodate latecomers\, unfortunately. The space is set up specifically to foster a sense of ceremony and encourage being fully present. \n🏯 Also\, we kindly request that you skip the perfumes when you come to share this experience. They can be a bit overpowering and interfere with the enjoyment of tea. \nLIMITED SPACE TO 6 SOULS. \nThe journey starts when you enter the land at Matapihi\, driving into the rural area and leaving the urban world behind. You are encouraged to leave your phone in your car and join us in the belle tent under two giant walnut trees. \nTake some time to still yourself and ground in the morning before the ceremony. If possible begin your silence from when you wake. Have a light breakfast but do eat something. \nWe look forward to holding space for you. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:The Feedback Lab
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nSTOP MARKING YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! \nIt’s time to unlock your creative noncritical voice. \nIntroducing the Feedback Lab 2026/27 monthly sessions. \nThe Feedback Lab invites artists of many different disciplines and levels to connect\, explore\, and share information ideas and processes in a relaxed non-judgemental environment. \nLead by Carol Bisset\, the Feedback Lab provides a safe place in which to share fresh perspectives on your own and other artists work. Throughout the year there will be a select group of guest speakers who will introduce us to their unique journeys as practising artists. \n“I’m really pleased to hear the Feedback Lab might be returning. \nWhat made it different for me was the intentional focus on constructive dialogue. It created a space where artists could share work and receive considered feedback from fresh perspectives. That process encouraged deeper reflection and brought valuable analytical insight into my own practice. I especially appreciated the opportunity to connect with other artists in Tauranga Moana in a meaningful way; not just socially\, but through critical and creative exchange. \nCarol is an outstanding facilitator. She creates a respectful\, responsive environment where people feel safe to speak honestly. Her ability to guide discussion while allowing space for diverse viewpoints is a real strength. \nThe super talented and hugely experienced Tauranga Artist Lynette Fisher will be discussing a range of topics including her five year role as Art Award Coordinator for the Molly Morpeth Canady competition. Lynette will give us an insight into her art practice\, why she enters art awards\, including her recent experience at the Tauranga Art show.  \nThis is a special one off opportunity to raise those questions that have always bothered you about selection processes\, how to deal with rejection and why it’s really good for you in the long run! \n“Grassroots\, inclusive initiatives like this are vital for sustaining a healthy and connected arts community. They make critical conversation accessible and strengthen relationships within the local creative sector. ” \n– Fiorella Silva Perez. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Textured Art Painting
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Incubator Creative Hub\nPlay with texture\, explore your creativity and create a beautiful artwork in this vibrant and social Textured Art Painting workshop. \nIn this workshop you’ll explore textured painting\, a technique where paint is mixed and applied in thicker layers to create depth on the canvas. Instead of focusing on perfect brushstrokes\, it’s about playing with shapes and movement. It’s surprisingly freeing and a lot of fun! \nLaura will guide you step by step\, but there’s plenty of room to experiment and make the piece your own. By the end of the session\, you’ll have your own textured artwork to take home. \nAll art materials and tools provided\, as well as a few snacks and nibble. BYO drink if you’d like.🍷🍻 \nIt’s a vibrant and social evening — great to come with friends\, as a couple\, or even on your own if you feel like doing something creative after work.  Important note – Texture can only be white. \nLaura is an Incubator resident artist in the Villa Studios – pop in and say hi! Deeply inspired by the ocean\, Laura’s work reflects the intricate beauty of coral formations and marine ecosystems. Using textured layers\, structural elements and resin\, she creates tactile pieces that evoke the depth and movement found beneath the water’s surface. \nLearn more about Laura and her art here. \nFind out more
