We were so thrilled when @sibylladelphica came on board to support our community by sharing her hand-made goddess sandals and bags! Each piece is created from scratch, with a fairytale concept through a loving craftmanship process and designs which reflect the natural beauty of the Mediterranean🌼. Her sandals will have a final debut at the last series of this Autumn's @_themovementmarket_ on Saturday 4th Novemeber at MANA! Cafe 🌏🌿. Join in for a day featuring movement and yoga classes brought to you by wellness influencers, including our beloved Garden Sisters @_thevibetribe and @gypsybynatvre from 11am - 3pm along with ethical + organic pop up stalls & so much more! 💕

🍇🍌🌼Nourished & Happy! Following our early morning practise, our beloved Gathering Chefs and Seva Sisters prepared @sambazon Açai Breakfast Bowls for our first meal together on Saturday in the ☆Conscious Kitchen☆. Immense gratitude to @bejuiced for graciously sponsoring so much delicious goodness which allowed 150 women and children to begin a day of sharing with big smiles and full tummies. 😊🙏💛 Food is a vital component of any gathering, as we began to deeply ground and shift into the simplicity of community living and a detox from our usual day-to-day. Be-juiced is committed to the revitalization of the mind and the natural rehabilitation of the body in all that they offer. ✊💕 ·

Special thanks to Lena and Janet for all their help and cordination. In addition, there were lots of treats for our raffle winners who won a total of 5 Acai bowls and a 3-day juice cleanse by Be-juiced! It is a honour to work with those who support the larger cause and pay it forward. Thank you #bejuicedhk for hearing the call and allowing us to manifest such a dreamy collaboration. Acai bowls for breakfast this morning anyone? ·

😍💋Beautification in alignment with honouring our ancestors through adorning floral crowns is the ultimate embodiment of the art of divine feminine self care. As devoted clients of @emmanuelfhk, we were SO blessed to welcome the stylists of Hong Kong’s first Eco-Luxury Hair Salon & Spa, who tended our lioness manes, woven and tamed just in time for our Opening Ceremony. We adore Emmanuel F as they use only natural & organic products to deliver professional, creative & high-quality results. They offer a true holistic and health conscious concept where one can stylistically trust & feel safe in their conscious hands and choice of product, right down to serving organic teas. And the lucky winner of the generous donated raffle prize of styling and colour g session goes to ❤️ the she’s who shall not be named. #ecosalon #beauty #gratitude #community #sacred #ceremony #floralcrown #femininedivine #hkig #hongkong #hkgirl #thegardengathering 🙏🏽Shoutout to weaver sister who gifted us with the skill to create Polynesian plant crowns and garlands.📸🙏🏽photos: @viola_jean & @orly_even

Great gratitude sets the tone as we emerge from silent integration post gathering. Soulful seeds root deep unto earth and vines of our hearts embroider infinitely unto cosmos. To BEHOLD fire that forever burns and fly free with winds that carry our wings, all in flow - the current of our waters. Walk the beauty path with us as we tell the story of our gathering through each picture to follow, to give thanks honouring the energetic donations from sacred and SEVVA sisters, chefs, land, Gardeners and sponsors. It is a privilege to practice sacred business with our collective Spirit in non-commercial community, yet now we must pay tribute and REVEAL your gifts. Hygiene for humanity been the key essential ingredient for stepping unto our highest in harmonious relationship with each element, to hold ceremonial space for the open hearted especially those in need of extra love and support. May every effort to nourish our own garden with patience and process be the gesture that fortifies our homes. And when next the typhoon meets us, may the grace of Mother Nature once again expand our perception beyond measure. We are still harnessing the joy from the sweetest of surprise sacred sistren sessions post gathering (with even more to follow). So stay attuned. BE receptive. OPEN your hearts. HEAL for harmony. PLAY your drum. SING sweet music medicine. SIP bowls of tea. MAKE & do. LISTEN to intuition. Surrender to the flow. Howl, dance, breathe. Breathe. Breathe...and always softly softly step. Wild women, a howl-out ✨sisters of @spiritweavers and creator ✋🏿Amy Mea Woodruf @daughterofthesun_ for your love and vision. Always in love and service, @thegardengathering @maynogoyyoga & @spiralspaces #femininedivine #thegardengathering #spirit #vine #mothernature #gaia #hkig #sisterhood #hongkong

🌱 What to Remember 🌱

The Garden Gathering was created as a sacred container dedicated to exploring ways of cross-cultures and sustainable practices in Hong Kong, bringing together like-minded women and those who are curious to practice new ways of living aligned in harmony with the Earth. We ask that you see this as a gift to yourself and that you are open to receive new sisterhood and self-love. We embrace one another without judgment and tune out of everyday expectations and attachments. The simplicity of being together as one with our Mother Earth is a great reminder of the equality we all share. Let us be inviting to new sisters who may feel intimidated by extending hugs, conversation and inclusion whether at mealtimes or other. Reach beyond your comfort zone and open your heart to all those around your, for this is precedent to how rich our garden grows!
.
We are an alcohol-free, meat-free environment. This weekend is about fully nourishing your body - taking time to unplug from your devices, leaving your phones in your tents to be wholly present in the moment. It is about being present with yourself and with your sisters .. showing up with an open mind, ready to receive. No expectations, just a willingness to be present. Holding space for yourself and for each other.. there is no judgement here, only an embracing of the present moment, and of all its gifts. Open mind, open heart, open arms. We all show up to listen, to learn, to love. 💚💚💚
