Lifespan Rites

Lifespan Rites We offer rites of passage, initiations and ceremonies for significant life transitions We offer Rites of Passage, Initiations and Ceremonies.

These are designed to honour and support people of all ages as they encounter significant life transitions such as puberty, adulthood, grandparenthood, elderhood and death. We believe that honouring important transitions through-out life supports individuals and our community to thrive, to be connected, and to be resilient. Holding a container of openness and discovery, trust, balance and freedom we bring a range of professional and life experience to offer our community Lifespan Rites.

✨️ INA ✨️

Ina comes carrying a kete rich with Rites of Passage experiences. For over a decade she has been deepening her knowledge, understanding, and lived experience within this realm.

As her path has unfolded, so too has her desire to hold space for other women to experience the transformative depth this work can offer.

With a quiet wisdom far beyond her years, Ina brings a grounding, gentle, and creatively fresh presence into every space she weaves within.

She is very much looking forward to weaving with you at our upcoming Women's gathering next month

Meet Jessica — aka Lady J 🌙⚡

Wild-hearted, magnetic, and deeply embodied, Jessica weaves spaces where women are invited to shed the masks, reconnect with their truth, and honour every raw, beautiful stage of becoming. Blending somatic wisdom, movement, creativity, play, and deep presence, she brings a kind of grounded magic that is equal parts nurturing, expansive, and alive.

She’s so ready to weave with you next month at Moon Weavers : Transform Through The Women's Wheel of Life

The gathering of women has been happening for centuries- throughout time and across cultures. And while women gathering in circle isn't unique, the particular weave that results from each circle is.
It’s the mix of all of us who step into that circle — our skills, our lived experience, our different ways of seeing and feeling — that creates the depth.

Each and every woman that has stepped forward to be part of the next Moon Weavers container is saying yes to bringing their own thread to this weaving- and we embrace and honour, all that you bring with you.

Speaking of warm embraces, meet Ganesha.
She has one of those presences that lets your body sink deeper into itself before you've even realised it.
Warm, open, easy to be around.
She brings humour and lightness into the space, but underneath that there’s a really steady, grounded energy that is very easy to trust and relax into.
It makes sense when you know her path — years spent walking alongside wāhine as a midwife, holding them through one of life’s biggest thresholds.
Not just birthing babies,
but witnessing women as they cross that rite of passage.
You’ll feel it when you meet her 🤍

Over the coming days, we'll be introducing the women behind the scenes of the upcoming Moon Weavers : Transform Through The Women's Wheel of Life Retreat. These are the faces that will be warmly welcoming you to Waihōanga Riverside Lodge come June.

This group of wāhine are so much more than just facilitators.
They are women who have lived, crossed thresholds, unravelled and re-rooted themselves… and now hold space for others (YOU) to do the same.

First, meet Alice- One of the original Lifespan Rites Pillars- helping to shape a space where women can arrive as they are and be met there 🌿

NB- This retreat is fully booked, however, if you would like your name to be added to the waitlist please click on the event link in the post and fill out the form

Fifteen women have said Yes… and the circle is now complete! 🌙✨ We can't wait to warmly welcome you to Waihōanga Riverside Lodge and Retreat in June ✨️

To each of you who felt the call and answered — thank you for saying YES to you!
We honour your courage, your curiosity, your willingness to be seen, softened, and expanded- all of which you will experience at Moon Weavers : Transform Through The Women's Wheel of Life

The Moon Weavers Retreat is no longer just a vision- it is a living, breathing field being woven from your presence.
Fifteen threads.
Fifteen stories.
Fifteen bodies of water, each carrying your own tides, wisdom, and medicine.
Together, we will gather at the threshold — to journey, to acknowledge, to claim, to connect and empower ourselves and each other.
To sit in circle under the moon’s quiet guidance,
and return to the ancient knowing that lives within each of us.
There is something powerful that happens when women say yes at the same time.
We can feel the magic building…
the tenderness, the truth, and the beauty that is waiting for you.
To the 15 women who said yes —
we see you, we honour you, and we cannot wait to share this time with you.
The weaving has begun. 🌕

Attached in the comments will be a link if you missed out and would like to join the waitlist.

Moon Weavers : Transform Through The Women's Wheel of Life

Between the longest night and the rising of Matariki, we gather.

This is not just a retreat- although your wellspring will be deeply nourished, cared for, and replenished. This is a rites of passage space for women who are standing at a threshold in their lives.

Here, we step out of ordinary time and into a different rhythm.

We gather by the fire, on the land, and in circle.
Where you take time to honour what has been,
to acknowledge what is changing,
and to be witnessed as you are, at this pivotal moment in your life.

This is a space for Women who want to understand the 13 stages and archetypes that Women journey through — for those Women who see their life as one that moves in seasons and cycles, not as a straight line, but as a wheel.

For those who feel that there is a more comprehensive framework than just the Maiden, Mother, and Crone. This is also for the Women who are in the liminal spaces of the in-between.

You will recognise where you are moving from, where you stand now, and what is beginning to emerge.

This work is about marking the moment you are in, so that you can walk forward with clarity, support, and the feeling that a significant stage of your life has been honoured properly.

It is time to celebrate you.
