Braided Women Gathering is a charitable trust that focuses on safe, inclusive events. Our main event is an annual three day retreat held over Show weekend (Mid-November) in Waitaha, Canterbury that involves circles, ritual, dance, song, play and nourishment for both body and soul.<\/span><\/h4>

\u201cThis is a place that nurtures and enables me to feel calm and collected in my own truth. I need this for my mental well-being. The practice of non-judgmental listening and silent acknowledgement of my own feelings and those of others is an essential skill to polish and develop and we need more. My gratitude to the commitment of the creation group and their creativity and love. I sit here at the end and could bathe in the glow a little longer”<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDoing it this awesome doesn\u2019t just materialize! Thanks for all the beautiful attention to detail. Stunningly well held as ever. Thank you for this life changing world changing mahi\u201d.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
