About Annais:
My father was born and grew up at Te Waimate.
My mother was born and raised in Oromahoe.
Her marriage to my father was arranged, called a tomo, by my two grandfathers.
My mother said my father and grandfather arrived on horseback, riding from Te Waimate to Oromahoe, while she was cleaning out the pig-sty. And the negotiations went on for several hours/days.
There are many life stories I have to share and when I found SoulCollage® practice I immediately fell in love with the process because I can tell my stories visually, verbally and in writing. After making my first card several years ago, I now have an ever-growing deck which I use to help guide my decision-making process.
For me my SoulCollage® cards are taonga, legacy, to be passed on to the next generation. I am grateful.
