Let me know your fav bangers and we will see if they make it thru!

SILENT DISCO with Lioness SATURDAY 4 July, 6-8pm Escape Coffe Roasters, Liardet Street, New Plymouth Contact: [email protected]

We are excited to have registrations open for this years Level 1 training in NZ 🥳

Your New Zealand teachers are .menlove and .m.mason 💛
We collectively bring a depth of experience in this work and other modalities and we have been supporting and as lead assistants on all levels of this profound training for a number of years.

This is a training in stepping into your embodied leadership as a facilitator of somatic dance and a personal journey of listening to the wisdom of your body by receiving the depth of this work for yourself first so that you can powerfully share it with others (if that’s the path you choose to go down).

Alongside learning how to hold transformational somatic dance journeys from a trauma and nervous system aware lens, you will also learn to craft a musical soundscape that aligns with the theme you are delivering and supports your participants to drop into the felt experience of their bodies.

And yes you will learn to DJ from our skilled DJ facilitator Natasha Mason (aka Lionness 🦁) - taught by the one and only Blase 💥

As well as the practical pieces, you can also expect to come out of this training with:

~ Even deeper trust in your body and your channel as a facilitator

~ Reconnection with your joy and aliveness

~ The freedom and inner safety to be your fully expressed Self

~ Connection to an incredible group of Souls, some of whom will become life-long friends & collaborators

26th October - 5th November
The Bungalow, Taranaki
Early Bird registration now available until July 31st

Something I’ve never shared publicly before… but feel it is time for context.

Recently, I had a full-body memory return. not just mentally - but somatically. Viscerally.

It caught me off guard.

I realised my body remembered a moment from almost 10 years ago.

A moment that marked the beginning of the end of my marriage, and one of the hardest periods of my life.

At the time, everything I never imagined happening… happened.

Contacted by a third party.

And what followed in the years after deeply impacted my nervous system, my sense of safety, and the way I move through relationships and the world.

What’s been confronting is realising this memory resurfaced almost to the date of the event - back then it was as I approached my 40th Birthday.

The body remembers.
Even the things we think we’ve processed.
All the things we’ve carefully packed away so we can survive - and I mean that one hour, one day at a time, never knowing what the next text or call will bring.

Lately I’ve been noticing how some of these old patterns, dynamics, and wounds have quietly echoed again in more recent chapters of life.

Same timeline, same season but 10 years later as I approach my 50th birthday,

What I know now is that wisdom isn’t always in trying to hold and process everything alone.
This I am very good at - internalising everything and processing, but clearly it's stopped working.

Now I am recognising that when something is too big to carry by myself, to find the courage to reach out for support.
Trust me it's still a practise.

Healing isn’t linear.
And sometimes the body speaks before the mind can make sense of it.

So we keep listening, enquiring and refining. Tools to support us in the moments, places to go to that nourish us and friends to listen without trying to fix or change and trusted therapists to help you unpack the big stuff.

Know you do not need to do it alone ❤️

Dear Community
If you are wanting to grow your boys into healthy men we were gifted the technology (long before modern tech) with adventures in nature journeying and learning from other males.
These initiation practises have been lost- but there are men shining a light when you and your boys may need to find your way.
We can give them tools to support their growth in a world that’s asks much of us.
Perhaps you know someone who would benefit from this offering? Please share and help grow this valuable resource.

Stoked for our Summer overnight adventure for boys 12-14 years old and their chosen adult mentor (Dad, stepdad, granddad/poppa, whānau friend)! We will be on some beautiful whenua up Koru Road near Ōākura and invite all of whānau and the community to join us at the separation from 9.45am on Saturday 17 January 2026 and our return on Sunday 18 January at 10am.

Experience what a difference a day makes, a day and night of Connection, Challenge, Responsibility, and Celebration 🙌🏾

Registrations are open, and we are also seeking Taranaki peeps able to help with set up and pack down and two cooks for the experience.

She is here! - A Reflection of My Inner World

This logo is more than a visual identity - it’s a symbolic portrait of my essence 🦁

At its centre is a representation of my inner landscape - the place where insight, reflection, and experience meet.
It holds the frequencies that shape my work: presence, awareness, and heart-led clarity ❤️

Threaded through the design is Leo energy, expressed through the Leo glyph ♌ and the royal star of Leo -Regulus ⭐
Together they embody radiant leadership, courage, sovereignty, and the warmth of a heart-led path.

The rose 🌹honours the sacred feminine - beauty, devotion, depth, and the red thread of the priestess path.
Her petals reveal softness and truth;
her thorns remind us that shadow is part of the devotion.
Light and dark in sacred union.

All of these elements come together to express the essence of my work: expansion, growth, inner power, and heart-centred leadership. 💫

Wrapped in rich, royal tones, the design mirrors the frequency of this chapter - bold, luxurious, and sovereign.

A logo that feels personal, archetypal, and deeply true.

A sigil - a living symbol of my essence, my lineage, and my becoming 🪷

This logo feels like a remembrance of who I am, and a blessing for everything I am stepping into.

Gratitude to Lisa for this design (and patience) 😘

What do you think of her?
