SUMMARY:New Moon Sound Bath - Wed 12th Aug
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Ruth Holden | The Sound Temple\nWelcome to The Sound Temple! Come 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 a beautiful belle tent and on the land surrounding\, we gather round the fire for a powerful intention setting circle 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. \nDuring 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 step into the Sound Temple and 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. \nThe benefits of Sound Baths: \n– Deep Relaxation & Stress Relief: Sound baths calm the nervous system\, lower heart rate\, and reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels.\n– Improved Sleep: The low-frequency sounds can help improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia.\n– Mental Clarity & Focus: They can quiet racing thoughts\, improve focus\, and aid in shifting from chaotic to calmer mental states.\n– Physical Healing: Participants often report reduced physical discomfort\, reduced inflammation\, and better circulation.\n– Emotional Release: Sound vibrations can help process emotions and offer relief from anxiety or depression. \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 new moon is a time of new beginnings and is perfect for sowing seeds of new intention. \nThe Sound Temple is a no phone zone. Enjoy the connection with others without digital distractions. \nThis is a drug and alcohol free event\, this policy ensures the safety of all guests. Anyone found to be under the influence of substances will be asked to leave and no refund offered. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Waihī Beach Op Shop Ball Presents: Studio 64
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Waihī Beach Community Events & Promotions\nThe Op Shop Ball is Back for 2026! \nJoin us at for a night of 70’s Funk\, Glitz and Glamour at Studio 64 \nSome events leave a mark. The Op Shop Ball is one of them. It’s a beloved Waihī Beach tradition that locals have been asking about ever since the last one\, and one that is long overdue its return. \nIn 1977\, the legendary Studio 54 opened its doors in New York City and became the beating heart of the disco era. Frequented by icons such as David Bowie\, Mick Jagger\, Andy Warhol\, Grace Jones and Diana Ross\, it was the place to be. The dance floor pulsed with sequins\, satin\, and the kind of glamour that’s hard to describe and impossible to forget. Massive light installations\, costumed dancers\, and a crowd where celebrities rubbed shoulders with absolutely everyone. \nOutside\, people queued for hours just to get in. Inside\, nobody wanted to leave. \nIt was excessive\, electric\, and by all accounts\, absolutely brilliant. \nThis July\, this is the inspiration behind the highly anticipated return of the Waihī Beach Op Shop Ball\, Studio 64 (do you get it\, a clever play on words with +64 being the international calling code for NZ). \nDress the era: We’d love to see you raid a local op shop for your outfit\, after all\, putting together your look is half the fun\, and the creativity on display never disappoints. But whether you go full second-hand or simply dress the era\, come ready to commit to the theme. \nGet creative\, think outside the square and show off what you’ve put together. \nThe night: Doors open at 7pm\, and we start with the irresistible grooves of local funk favourites Disco Bush. Next DJ Dave takes over\, spinning back to back bangers to keep the dance floor alive all the way through to midnight. \nFood is included in your ticket and drinks available at the bar. This is a proper night out that you’ll be talking about for years to come. \nPlease note that for GA\, there is no set seating/tables. There will be a few tables and bar leaners throughout the hall. For guaranteed seating\, you will need a VIP table. \nVIP tables are available at $1\,000 for a table of eight. There will be champagne for the table\, food brought to your table throughout the night\, and the best seats in the room. These are limited and tables will go quickly. \nEvery ticket sold goes directly back into community initiatives here at Waihī Beach. The Op Shop Ball is proudly brought to you by Waihī Beach Community Events & Promotions. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Matariki Maumaharatanga | Matariki
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Te Puna i Rangiriri Trust\nMatariki is a time of remembrance\, reflection\, and renewal — a moment in the year when we come together to honour those who have passed and to look ahead to the future. \nOur Maumaharatanga ceremony offers a space for the Tauranga Moana community to gather in the early hours of the morning\, to call the names of loved ones who have passed away\, and to acknowledge them as we welcome the rising of Matariki. This shared moment of remembrance allows whānau to grieve\, to reflect\, and to stand together in support of one another. \nThis year\, the ceremony carries particular significance for our community. Following the devastating landslides on Mauao and Welcome Bay in January 2026\, which claimed lives and deeply impacted Tauranga Moana\, this gathering becomes a space not only for personal remembrance\, but for collective mourning and healing. It is a time to hold those affected in our thoughts\, to acknowledge the weight of what our community has experienced\, and to stand together in unity. \nMatariki is a time to reset\, to reconnect\, and to carry forward the memories and legacies of those who have gone before us. This event is open to all. We encourage our community to come together in a spirit of aroha\, kotahitanga\, and maumaharatanga\, as we acknowledge the past and step collectively into the year ahead. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Opening: Āwhiowhio | Matariki
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Art + Body Creative Studio\nĀwhiowhio is an exhibition that views creativity as a force of movement\, transformation\, and renewal. Like a swirling wind that gathers ideas and clears new paths\, this collection explores art as an elemental energy—one expressed through the physical rhythm of the etched mark and the pressure of imprinting. \nĀwhiowhio reveals the creative journey of a series of community workshops where participants explore drypoint etching and various printmaking techniques. The resulting works form the exhibition itself\, serving as a visual trace of shared experimentation and intent. \nFind out more
