SUMMARY:Claudia Jarman Memorial Lecture 2026
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Toi Tauranga Art Gallery\nWe are excited to announce the free annual ‘Claudia Jarman Memorial Lecture’ for 2026\, on Tue 29 Sep\, 5.30–7.30pm. With the generous support from the Claudia Jarman fund\, Claire Regnault presents ‘Fashioning the Modern Woman’. \nThis lecture is FREE but registrations are required. \nClaire Regnault is an award-winning author who specialises in the history of dress in Aotearoa New Zealand. She is particularly interested in what the history of dress can tell us about women’s lives\, both real and ideal. \nShe also happens to be the Exhibition and Programmes Manager at Tauranga Museum and an Honorary Research Associate at Te Papa\, where she worked as a senior curator in the History Department for fifteen years. \nClaire is currently working on a new research project with Lizzie Bisley\, Stephanie Gibson and Chanel Clarke on  ‘Fashioning the Modern Woman: 1920 to 1949’\, which explores the lives of women during this dynamic period through a combination of art\, design and dress. \nIn this illustrated talk she will give an overview of the project and then using the 1940 New Zealand Centennial Exhibition — which attracted a phenomenal audience of 2\,641\,043 people – as a springboard explore a range of modern women’s lives\, including that of  Mollie Rodie\, a journalist\, fashion illustrator and costume designer\, fashion promoter Ina Allan\, dare devil motorcyclists Pat ‘Crash’ Gamble and Moy Wong\, and Miriama Heketa\, a much admired dancer who was famously sculptured by Margaret Butler. \nClaudia Jarman (1908–1986) was a passionate art educator who inspired two generations of young people in Tauranga Moana to practise\, appreciate and\, as one former student recalled\, “to see” art and design. Teaching at Tauranga District High School and later Tauranga Girls’ College\, Claudia was also an active contributor to the city’s cultural life and a founding member of both the Tauranga Chamber Music Society and Tauranga Art Society. \nThe ‘Claudia Jarman Memorial Lecture’ was established by former student Patricia Brooks to honour Claudia’s significant contribution to her students and the arts in Tauranga. Through an annual lecture by a visiting artist or art historian\, it continues her legacy of inspiring curiosity\, creativity and appreciation for the visual arts. \nImage: Mollie Rodie\, 1937\, Wellington\, by Spencer Digby Studios.

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: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:New Moon Sound Bath
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 realize 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\nDeep Relaxation & Stress Relief: Sound baths calm the nervous system\, lower heart rate\, and reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels.\nImproved Sleep: The low-frequency sounds can help improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia.\nMental Clarity & Focus: They can quiet racing thoughts\, improve focus\, and aid in shifting from chaotic to calmer mental states.\nPhysical Healing: Participants often report reduced physical discomfort\, reduced inflammation\, and better circulation.\nEmotional Release: Sound vibrations can help process emotions and offer relief from anxiety or depression.\n\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: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. \nGrassroots\, 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
