Intention is key 🔑 🗝

The days are getting longer, and while there's certainly not much heat in the Taranaki sun yet, we are approaching that hot time of year, Beltane.
I have made beautiful soy Belfire candles, with soft floral notes, underpinned with the musk of woody Patchouli and Davana. There are limited numbers of these.
We can also make personalised Beltane kits for one, two (or more, it is Beltane after all) with candles, massage oils and bathsalts, tailored to your needs.

Have you wondered what craniosacral therapy is all about?
Have you had a treatment, felt great, and not made it back for a follow up?

Saturday is your day!
Alyssa has realized her day is not full for once, so she is offering $20 craniosacral treatments. This Saturday 11th October only, while spots last.

Full Moon - Open Late Night ♈️

05/10/2025

Under this week’s Full Moon in Aries, the fire of transformation burns bright, growth is rapid, and change is imminent - not just in nature, but in our spirit and our communities too.
Aries commands leadership, courage, new beginnings and taking initiative.
How fitting that this moon coincides with our local council elections?!

This is our chance to take part in shaping the future of our region, to choose leaders who embody not only Aries’ bold spirit and drive, but also compassion, consideration, wisdom, and the ability to care for all.

There are only four days left to vote. May the influence of Aries and the spring winds of change bring renewal and promise.
Let the light of this full moon inspire you:

✨️ Rise up.

✨️ Participate.

✨️ Can you support someone else to join you in voting, check in with an elderly family member, friend, neighbour or our rangatahi.

✨️ Help direct the path of growth and renewal for our whole community.

🌱🔥🌕♈️

Today, New Plymouth celebrates women.
12noon - 2pm at Puke Ariki Landing
There will be guest speakers, live music, activities for the kids.

I love that this event is aligned with the weekend of the Spring Equinox, the sun moving into Libra (the sign of Justice and Balance) and Suffrage Day, commemorating women's right to vote.
But our working women are still fighting for justice. Join the rally today!

The Apothecary will only be open 11.30 - 1pm today for your solar eclipse ritual supplies.
Enjoy a powerful weekend!
