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. \nFind out more

Each piece reflects the students’ ideas and experiments with different materials and techniques throughout the year. \nWe hope you enjoy this collection and celebrate the creativity of our junior students. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World\nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 31st of July – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga Licensed Bar onsite\, and everyone is welcome \nOn display in The Peoples Gallery Toi Ka Rere from the 1st of August to the 22nd of August\, 10am – 3pm. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Just Bring Yourselves - An Exhibition by Jennie Holdsworth
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nJust Bring Yourselves is a collection of mixed media paintings exploring domestic interiors\, chairs\, vessels and lamps in warm\, muted tones. \nThrough paint\, collage and layered surfaces\, the works reflect on warmth\, welcome and the spaces we return to. A chair at a table asks who sat there before\, or who it might be waiting for. Lamps\, vessels and familiar rooms hold the feeling of home. These are paintings about what a place or an object can hold. \nThe aesthetic behind this work was inherited before it was chosen. It comes from growing up in a home with a particular kind of warmth\, and from three generations sharing a similar way of making a home. The Dutch call it gezellig; a feeling that is difficult to translate but easy to recognise. \nJennie Holdsworth is a mixed media artist and Visual Art educator based in Tauranga\, Aotearoa New Zealand. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Arts\, University of Auckland\, and a Graduate Diploma in Teaching. Her work has sold to private collectors across New Zealand. Just Bring Yourselves is her first solo exhibition. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World\nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 31st July\, 5.30pm – 7pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga Everyone is welcome. Licensed Bar available \nOn display at The Incubator Gallery from 1st August to the 22nd of August. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Shakespeare In Love
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: 16th Ave Theatre\nShakespeare but not as you know it – Will Shakespeare has a deadline\, no money\, and absolutely no idea how to finish his next play. Then he meets Viola de Lesseps—clever\, fearless\, and determined to follow her dream of performing on the stage\, despite a world that says she cannot. The result is Shakespeare in Love—a witty\, fast-moving romantic comedy bursting with mistaken identities\, sword fights\, backstage chaos\, soaring passion\, and the irresistible magic of live theatre. \nFunny\, heartfelt\, and full of spectacle\, this is a sparkling night out for anyone who loves romance\, laughter\, and a little theatrical mischief. \nShakespeare in Love is a play with music that was adapted for the stage by Tony Award® and Olivier Award®- winning writer Lee Hall\, basedon the screenplay by Academy Award®-winning writer Marc Norman and Tony Award®\, Olivier Award®\, and Academy Award®-winning writer Tom Stoppard. \nFind out more
