Hearthside Breath

Release & recharge
in good company.


Every Monday evening, atop Maungawhau / Mt Eden

A weekly ritual of conscious breathing and real connection.

Hearthside Breath is for those who like a clear and focused mind, an open and easeful body, and who enjoy having meaningful conversations while in a vibrant state of being.

Each session offers around 50 minutes of practice time and space at the end to connect with others. Our sessions are held outside, so dress warm, bring some tea, and feel free to stay longer if desired!

Part of our weekly hearth offerings, this warming breathwork experience is rooted in community and crafted for curiosity and exploration.

    • Opening meditation

    • Roughly 30 to 40 mins of breathwork + rest

    • Insights from tarot and the current seasonal cycle

    • Group conversations (questions/prompts provided)

    • Stargazing if the weather allows!


    Note: We meet at the lower carpark/roundabout on the mountain and walk together to the view point. Please be on time!

    • Every Monday from 6 to 7.30 pm. (feel free to stay longer)

    • We leave the meeting spot at 6 pm sharp. - Please arrive 5 to 15 mins before.

    • Hearthside Breath is subject to weather cancellations. Please book early to receive updates.

  • If you are not familiar with the mountain then please follow these instructions to find us on time:

    1. There are many dead end roads that Google maps may send you to - please use this exact maps link to find the main entrance:
      https://maps.app.goo.gl/wQYZ24KJnQBNbdNw5

    2. You must park on the main street (gates close at 7 pm) so allow for walking time.

    3. We’ll meet at the lower carpark/roundabout on the mountain beween 5.45 and 5.55 pm (same link as above).

    4. We will not have time to wait if you are late. Do not follow the steep road to the top carpark or walk up the mountain to find us.

    Please note that it will be dark when we leave - you may want a torch/headlamp to assist with the return walk.

  • This space is run through koha/donations.

    • You can pay whatever you like but we do ask for a minimum of $5 to cover our costs whilst still making the space accessible.

    • If you can comfortably afford to do so, anything upwards of $10 - $15 is appreciated!

    • If you’re a regular attendee, feel free to adjust your payments to ensure you can come as often as possible.

    • You can either pay by card when you book or select ‘cash on the day’ to secure your spot.

  • This space is subject to the weather so dress warm and bring a rain coat!

    Please also bring:

    • Water

    • A headlamp/torch

    • Yoga mat (some picnic blankets will be provided)

    • An extra blanket if you like to be cosy!

    • A warm drink if desired

    In cases of heavy rain predictions, those who have booked will be notified of cancellation and refunded.

  • Why are these held outside in winter?

    • Simply put, nature is beautiful all year round and winter evenings have a richness to offer that too few people get to experience.

    • Plus, sunsets are longer and the colours are deeper (google it if you’d like to know the science behind this).

    Group social spaces are difficult for me, can I still attend?

    • Yes! We’ve built a safe and supportive environment to connect and express yourself without any force.

    • Introverts will have all that they need to feel welcome and able to speak without competition or high expectations.

    • Extroverts will in turn be given a chance to slow down and practice listening! (This has been my journey and I’m very grateful for it)

    Your events are difficult for me to access or attend (for any reason), do you offer other event types?

    • None that are easier to get to/connect with, however, there are many other connection focused events that I can happily recommend that may be better suited. - Feel free to email logan@thesacredgrove.earth if you’d like some help!

Note: Bookings close an hour before each gathering to ensure I can send out location details/rain postponements on time!

Community requires action, and curiosity needs stimulation; this is the place to bring your innermost self to life.
