✨Mānawatia a Matariki ✨
All classes as usual this long holiday weekend:
•Thursday 9th July 4-5:45pm Individual Sādhanā
•Saturday 11th July 9-10:45am Individual Sādhanā
•Saturday 11th 11am -1pm Led
This Saturday 11th will be the last 9am Individual Sādhanā, as we move into the Māori/Lunar New Year I will be dropping the Saturday 9am Class.
All other classes will remain as usual.
🌌The Pleaides Star Cluster, AKA The Seven Sisters, and Subaru, has been gone from our skies since early May returns, look to the East before dawn this week to see them rise again.
✨Five Elements of Matariki:
Hono ~ Connect
Whakaaroaro ~ Reflect/Contemplation
Whakamana ~ Celebrate
Whakarite ~ Plan
Whakaū ~ Act
Good time to:
💛 our ancestors,
especially honouring those that have passed in the last year since the last rising of Matariki
💛 the present by connecting to the environment & each other, gathering together, feasting , and giving thanks for what we have 🙏🏻
💛 the ground for the coming year both physically in the garden, and other areas of our lives, planning for the year ahead/looking to the future. Perfect time for tree planting 🌳
