What a beautiful weekend we shared together at our Nature, Art & Creative Wellbeing Workshop at Rauhitanga, Golden Bay. 🌿

A weekend of creativity, connection, qigong, sound Nature and deep nourishment for the heart and Soul.

Feeling so grateful for the beautiful people who came together and all that we shared. 🤍

What a wonderful day today, running another food forest workshop in Ngatimoti. Amazing to see how much can happen when people come together in community spirit! ✨

A year ago, Duncan, Jade and I sat down for dinner and began dreaming about the possibility of hosting a Syntropic Food Forest workshop here at Chifull Sanctuary.

In October, that dream became a reality as people gathered to learn, work, connect and explore what becomes possible when we work with Nature as our teacher.

A heartfelt thank you to Kai from Subtledream Productions, whose patient eye and gift for storytelling have captured not only the workshop itself, but also something of the spirit of the land, the people and the journey that brought us here.

In January, Duncan and Jade moved onto the land, becoming part of the ongoing story of this place.

And now, we have this beautiful film.

Watching it reminds me how much can unfold in a single year when people come together with a shared vision and a willingness to take the next step.

We are delighted to share Chifull: A Story of Soil, Soul and Syntropy with you.

For many years I’ve shared pieces of my journey through workshops, conversations, and social media posts.

I’ve recently created a Substack as a home for longer reflections, a place where I can explore more deeply the questions that matter to me, healing, growth, relationships, community, self cultivation, and what it means to live a wholehearted life.

My first article is already there, and I’ll be sharing more writings in the months ahead.

If these are conversations you’d like to be part of, you’re warmly invited to subscribe through this link. https://open.substack.com/pub/chifulljourneys

I’d love to continue the journey together.

Exploring the cultivation of life, land, and community through healing, conscious living, and authentic connection. Click to read Chifull Journeys, a Substack publication. Launched 2 days ago.

I’ve been sharing quietly for a little while here, learning to show up, finding my voice, and exploring what it means to be fully seen. Thank you to everyone who has resonated with my reflections and videos along the way—it’s meant a lot.

I’ve now started a YouTube channel where I’ll be sharing more of my healing journey, meditations, reflections, and practices for connecting with yourself and regulating your nervous system.

If this feels like something you’re drawn to, you’re very welcome to join me there. On Instagram, you can find the link in my bio. On Facebook, I’ve added the link below.

This space here will continue to be for Chifull Sanctuary and updates from the land, while my YouTube channel will be where the deeper healing reflections live.

💛 Thank you for being here, and for being part of this journey.

Beautiful paintings in the sky last night, rainbow to the east and fiery sky to the west. Nature truely is the best artist there is! These moments are precious, they remind us to stop hustling and bustling in our busy lives and enjoy the beauty of the present moment. What a gift! ✨
