How cool. The Nettle patch is coming back to life.

It’s one of our natural winter greens, boosting from now and through Spring and then dropping away over Summer.

I love how nature grows what’s needed at the right times.

Looking forward to bringing more Nettles into my food this season 💚

Anyone else eating Nettles regularly in their season?

Our Breathwork and Market line up for this week is looking amazing!

3 x Public Breath Sessions - Levin
2 x Markets

Lads! There’s a Blokes Only Breathwork session on Wednesday mornings at 10am in Levin. Let me know if you’re keen to hop in and check it out. Chill out for an hour, kinda active relaxing.

What do you think of our new schedule layout? Thought it was fun to make use of my photos in amongst the brochures 🧡

Pretty excited to be heading along to the Paekakariki Market tomorrow e te whanau!

You’ll find us set up on the Stage in the Hall on the Main Street from 10am - 2pm with our Rongoā range and perhaps a Hue creation if it comes together in time.

Fresh batches of Grounding Candles, a new ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ Wātea Spray, Skin support pani (helpful for eczema and skin troubles) our classic Kawakawa and Coconut Body Butter and some fresh Nourishing Body Oils.

All small batch handcrafted, and loaded with Rongoā Rakau goodness.

If you’re in the area, pop in and say Hi

Absolutely loved this creative process 🥰

Starting my days with my Tukutuku panel, aaaaand a little bit of my classic ‘got my weave on, lost track of time, now it’s midnight’ behaviour, haha.

Always love it when that feeling rolls in. And the focus arrives. And I’m happy in my lil Creative space.

Thanks to the team for making these lovely Toi Kits.

Perfect amount of threads, handy videos on their website links, and the colours are fab.

Was super proud to have this panel lined up with my Hue and Harakeke pieces on the Mauri table for our Breathwork session tonight.

The Poutama pattern is an all time fave, talking into the perpetual learning and discovery and noticing of the ‘more’ that there is to learn, with every step upward we take. It always features in my Taniko and Kākahu patterning.

My mind is now spinning through the options for crafting similar with foraged fibres 😍

Our Maramataka inspiration for tonight’s Breath session is the Oike moon phase.

We’ve dropped off the height of the Full Moon and sitting in Oike - who talks to Caring for Mama Nature.

Ūkaipō - nourishment from the most ultimate of Mothers. Papatūānuku.

How are you Caring for Her?
How are you caring for Yourself?

What other ways could you Nourish and Care for Papatūānuku and Yourself through to the next Full moon.

Nurture yourself.

Come home, to who you really are. As a Child of this Earth.

Sit in stillness and connect with your Breath. And wait for the wisdom to bubble up to answer these questions of yourself.

Or pop along to our Group Breath session in Levin tonight, 5:30pm - 6:30pm and I’ll hold space for you to be still and seek the wisdom from yourself that you need today.

Let me know if you’re keen to join

We link our Breathwork sessions into the Maramataka phasings, and it lands so well. Supported by a Wairakau from our Rongoā rakau that suits the day / season.

Tonight we’ll be guided by Hotu - a space to explore our Hearts guidance.

Whakatanga Kia Kaha
Personify Courage, Follow your Heart

(Thanks Dr Hinemoa Elder for this prompt in Waitohu)

If you’re keen to join our group breath session in Levin tonight, let me know, we have spaces available.

And we’ll be following our Heart in our practice tonight. Sounds pretty amazing to me

I love learning new creative techniques and was excited to find this neat Tukutuku pack from when I was in Rotorua earlier in the year.

While crewing for friends doing Ultra Marathon Trail adventures, I scoped out the spots and found this taonga to bring home with me.

Excited to be working with familiar patterns, but in a different stitching style.

Have chosen the Poutama pattern as my first one, will keep you posted on how she’s travelling 😍

I was absolutely honoured to hold space for an amazing Collective recently.

Setting them up in Breath, to connect into the land around them, the River, the Mountains.

Then into a Hypno Symbology Journey seeking Tohu of wisdom and guidance for future pathways.

And then on into a conscious Breath session to breath life into these new timelines.

I absolutely love this mahi. And it was wonderful to have Mama join as Pou (Pillar of Strength), bringing her Wisdom to hold the room with me.

To return to do this work in the hills I grew up in is such a gift. The Tararua Ranges will always be home to me.

As always, thanks to the rōpu for having me in to hold space, and support them in this way as part of their weekend wānanga.

Well, the upside to having my email being hacked is that I got to reconnect with a load of amazing humans, some of whom I’ve not touched base with in forever.

I’m working my way through touching base with everyone who reached out to check on the comms.

If you deleted the ‘Dropbox’ link - go you! I don’t know how to send one so would not have been from me.

If you checked in, thank you.

All is squared away now. Thank goodness for the legends who hopped in and sorted it all out for me. Arohamai whanau.

Have a fab week 🌿
