Starting with acknowledging the people of the lands we hold our ceremonies on, Ngāti whatua, those on top, Below and in between.

And acknowledging the humanitarian crisis being inflicted on the Palestinian people by a cancerous fascist project and further extend our deepest love, prayers and active commitment for justice and peace to humanity and the divinity of life on Earth and beyond.

We dedicate our events to the intention of ;

* Opening hearts

* Seeing truth

* Speaking truth

* Bringing compassion to self and other

And Expanding peace from the smallest cells to far far beyond.

He waka eke noa __

With the return of this projects doula Rana, from a humanitarian journey while being months in the sea, passing by various ports and speaking to many people in ruling positions. She comes back with a ring of fire, committed with conviction to her eternal role in waking up and assisting in the universal awakening of this lifetime.

And so we are back this New Moon, carrying the energy of The Annular Solar Eclipse. Inviting you to open the veil, allow the truth of your present to show itself, surrender to the light shining on shadows which hide your dormant potentials, for it to bring harmony and balance, not only for your benefit, but for the good of all beings.

See the connecting thread, and dance it
