  5. Cultivating home, as a state of being

    A reframing of the idea that we “come back home to ourselves” when we embark on doing the work, on unbecoming what we’re not and releasing beliefs (our own, from others) we've simply outgrown. What if we were always home - always in a safe, loving, nurturing warm place? What if we cultivated that...

  17. E01 / Setting Foundations

    The very first episode of our very first season!

  18. blog post / are you born with courage? is it nurtured into you? is it both?

    Well, when you think about it in terms of whakapapa - it’s both. Nature AND nurture, not one or the other. ‘He kai kei aku ringa’ - there’s abundance within me, I have all I need to make manifest my desires and aspirations. but it requires work and cultivation..
