Are you organised, thoughtful and passionate about work that makes a difference?

Liminal Rhythm Trust is seeking expressions of interest for a new Board Secretary.

The Secretary plays an essential role in helping our Board work effectively. This person will bring clarity and care to our governance processes, helping trustees stay informed, organised and focused on LRT’s purpose.

The role includes:

Coordinating Board meetings and agendas

Preparing accurate, timely minutes

Maintaining key governance records

Keeping track of decisions and agreed actions

Supporting clear communication across the Board

Helping LRT meet its governance responsibilities

We’re looking for someone dependable and detail-focused who communicates clearly, handles sensitive information with discretion and shares our commitment to survivor-centred practice.

Previous secretarial, administrative or governance experience would be welcome, although a strong values fit and willingness to contribute are equally important.

Interested—or know someone who might be? We would love to connect.

Learn more and express your interest: [email protected]
Expressions of interest close: Friday 30th October

Please share this opportunity with your networks.

Could you help guide LRT into its next chapter?

Liminal Rhythm Trust is seeking expressions of interest from a thoughtful, values-led person to become our new Chairperson.

Our Chairperson will provide inclusive leadership to the Board, support strong governance and help ensure LRT remains focused on its purpose and the people at the heart of our work.

We’re looking for someone who can:

Lead with empathy, integrity and sound judgement

Create space for respectful, constructive discussion

Support effective and responsible decision-making

Build strong relationships with trustees, staff and stakeholders

Champion LRT’s survivor-centred values and long-term vision

Governance or leadership experience would be valuable, but just as important is a genuine connection to our kaupapa and a commitment to leading in a collaborative, trauma-aware way.

If this sounds like you—or someone you know—we would love to hear from you.

Learn more and express your interest: [email protected]
Expressions of interest close: Friday 30th October

Please share this post with someone who could bring wisdom, care and purposeful leadership to LRT.

Feeling excited and hopeful after joining today’s launch of the Consumer, Peer Support and Lived Experience Workforce Strategy and Action Plan 2026–2031. 🌿

One phrase really stayed with me: moving from inclusion to integration.

Lived experience belongs wherever decisions are made — shaping services, leading organisations, designing solutions and evaluating what makes a difference.

This aligns so closely with why we’re building Liminal Rhythm Trust: a survivor-led charity supporting wāhine beyond survival, where lived experience informs our approach, our programmes and our vision for the future.

It was encouraging to hear the focus on fair pay, sustainable resourcing, reflective practice and pathways into leadership. Those doing this mahi deserve support to thrive too.

And the conversation about ethical AI felt especially relevant to our work developing Milwaka — bringing survivor perspectives into how technology is designed, governed and used.

There is so much possibility in this next chapter. I’m excited for LRT to contribute, learn and grow alongside this workforce. 💛

What a weekend.

Party Conversations - Liminal Rhythm Trust's Annual Fundraising Gala was everything we hoped it might be: brave, confronting, tender, funny, uncomfortable and deeply human.

The feedback has been extraordinary. People told us the play opened conversations they had never known how to begin, helped them see the experience of sexual harm differently, and reminded them of the power of sitting together in honesty rather than turning away.

You may notice there aren’t many photos from the weekend. We didn’t have a professional photographer there. With such a personal and sensitive kaupapa, our focus was on creating a space where people could feel safe, present and free to respond without feeling observed or documented. Some moments are meant to be experienced rather than captured - and this weekend held many of them.

My deepest thanks to playwright Sheree Ann for trusting us with her powerful work; to our director Ami Coster, our incredible cast Viola Ember & Emma Hayes, crew, speakers, musicians and volunteers; and to Te Pou Theatre for holding this kaupapa with such care.

Thank you to the survivor-support organisations, therapists and rongoā practitioners who helped us create safety beyond the stage; to every community partner, sponsor and supporter who stood alongside us; and to every person who bought a ticket, donated, shared our posts or brought someone they love.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who entered the room willing to listen, feel and have the conversations that too often remain hidden.

We don’t want Party Conversations to end here. We would love to take this project into high schools and universities, creating supported spaces where rangatahi and young adults can engage with these themes and begin conversations that are difficult - but urgently needed.

If you have connections within a high school, university or organisation that could help us make this happen - or if you might be able to fund, sponsor or otherwise support a future tour - please get in touch. We would love to kōrero.

The curtain may have closed on Party Conversations, but this was never only about a weekend of theatre.

Last night, the first Liminal Rhythm Trust EmpowerME cohort began their journey together - eight weeks of connection, reflection and discovering what can exist beyond survival.

This weekend showed us why this work matters.

Last night, the next chapter began.

And there is so much journey still ahead of us.

What begins as an ordinary act of kindness unfolds into an extraordinary conversation that exposes the hidden ripple effects of sexual harm, challenging assumptions about truth, loyalty, family and healing. As long-held beliefs begin to unravel, both women are forced to confront questions neither expected to face.

Join us on 28th/29th August at ! Tickets from $20.
