Kia ora dear friends,

This winter we'd like to invite you to go deeper in your spiritual practices with us at our home.

This is the first event of many...

Crystals, Cacao and Breathwork!

As you all know, our favourite thing is to collaborate with amazing people!

So we've decide to open our home and welcome Lynska and Tom from Energy Crystals https://www.energycrystals.co....

From 2-3pm come and meet Lynska and Tom and see these amazing crystals. They'll have some awesome deals for you on the day.

Then we want to share the greatest cacao we've ever had from Oonagh from The Cacao Ambassador!

Andrew recently completed the Emissary training and is excited to share what he learned with you.

But wait there's MORE!

After we share cacao we are inviting you to stay and join us in a Shamanic Breathwork session with Kathy Guidi

This part of the afternoon will be open to 10 friends to stay, as we have limited space.

A bit more about Energy Crystals;

As life long crystal lovers, Tom and Lynska have come together to offer you their latest picks, share their wealth of crystal knowledge and to provide a powerful collection for enhancing your life. I've been buying all my crystals from them and know that these crystals have the highest vibration I've ever found.

A bit more about Shamanic Breathwork;

We are incredibly lucky to have Kathy Guidi coming to our house to facilitate this session for us.

Kathy is Aotearoa's only certified Shamanic Breathwork facilitator.

Shamanic Breathwork utilizes a dynamic breathing process called conscious connected breathing, along with chakra attuned music, bodywork, and an art integration & sharing process. You are guided on a journey where you can drop deep and tune in to your inner wisdom and achieve an altered state of consciousness, by-passing the ego-mind, and tapping into what’s underneath the surface thereby leading you to experience whatever is needed for your highest growth and healing.

During a breathwork session, you can experience any number of states of being from anger & grief, to utter bliss and connection to the cosmos; you can have a womb memory experience (rebirth), you might uncover childhood memories, or you may experience downloads or a deep Knowing. The full spectrum of humanness is available and no two breathwork journeys are the same.

Shamanic Breathwork is a healing modality where YOU are your own healer, YOU are your own shaman, and YOU contain all the information you need for inner transformation and healing.

"I endeavor to create a very safe container for YOU to undergo your process of transformation. Whatever needs to come up for you that day can come up to be seen, understood, and healed. It is imperative during these phenomenal times we are living through that all emotions are expressed and moved out of the body."~ Kathy Guidi.
