Water, it literally defines life on Earth, and yet we do not define it as alive. As the search for intelligent life on other planets continues, the greatest alien we fail to see may well be flowing through our veins, layered around our DNA and updating its information through our very thoughts and senses. What do we really know about water? Can it communicate? It is alive, & can it explain life after death? Water researcher and author, Veda Austin, will reveal the answers to these questions and so much more!

Introduction to the WoN and Guided Rainbow Light Meditation

By Deborah Crowe & Claire Vanderplank

Taking care of the Earth is at the foundation of the existence of any society that honors the Mother and the Feminine. Human beings produce a massive amount of toxic sound emissions that have a negative and weakening impact on the sound field of the earth. Being a Sound Healer in this special time means not only using sound for the purpose of healing other human beings, it means also being aware and doing everything possible to assist the Earth with the power of sound.
By creating healing sound vibrations, we are not only healing ourselves, but we are simultaneously counter-effecting toxic sound emission.
Sound is a creative energy, therefore feminine in nature. As we dive deeper and deeper into one of the most challenging times of our history, let’s open ourselves to the gifts that Sound Healing can bring to help us support the Divine Feminine in its journey back to the forefront of our consciousness.

A dancer express his soul through movement. His body is his tool. People usually relate dance with beauty, with technic, with a lean body, with softness. But dance can be anything you want, anything you feel. There is no rules, no limits, no measures. We are all dancers and we are all capable to express ourselves through it. When you can let go of all your fears and limiting beliefs; when you let go of right and wrong; you finally let your body flow and you discover the power of movement. It’s healing, it’s therapeutic, it’s pure freedom.

By Priscila Costa

We are all connected through genetics, culture, events, trauma and we are all energetically connected to each other and the natural world. Each person has a soul or a life force while also being part of the collective soul or life source of their family, their society, the planet. We are like the drops of water in a pond as individual souls. When a ripple flows through the pond it flows through each drop. Everything that happens on this planet affects us one way or another. The same way, together we can affect the planet positively and all the beings living in it. A Systemic Constellation may cause a shift in the dynamics of things that can be felt in other parts of the planet.

Align to your sacred soul frequencies, with the crystalline singing chalice creating Field resonance, for a potent Introduction to Family Constellation Workshop. This transformative passage of bringing to light imprints on the 3rd dimension, opens the portal to the Field of Universal Love in higher dimensions. Constellations support individuals, couples and groups with real-world problems and conflicts to gain awareness of the forces that divide and attune to the natural world's desire for human life to thrive in the flow of love. Whatever personal or work issues we are faced with, the Field reveals the hidden dynamics and familial loyalties that often hold us back from authentic success, joy and wellness in all areas of our life. Join Bascha for an embodied experience of sound alchemy, Constellations, the wisdom of nature & our ancestors. Learn about the natural ‘Orders of Love’ (according to Bert Hellinger) in Family Constellations, Epigenetics, and Heart resonance.

The power of ritual and ceremony is perhaps one of the most underestimated and least understood esoteric sciences. Ritual and ceremony is a language and it is a language that speaks to the soul and spirit. Working with ritual and ceremony can awaken the ‘inner song.’ To be able to truly awaken to our inner song we have to live a life that is truly authentic.

To live a truly authentic life is to dance in sacred relationship with the cosmos, the celestial gods and goddesses. In this presentation you will learn how you can not only learn the steps of the dance but to participate fully in the cosmic dance as a warrior magician, a warrior of light who works with the unconquerable magic of light.

The philosophies and mechanics of traditional Maori Healing.

By Ruatau Perez - Te Maurea Tradtional Maori Healing

How can we activate the sacred medicine within us today? We are in a sacred dance. We are inextricably linked to our Planet in magical and mysterious ways. Journey back to who we truly are – at our essence, at our core. Our true nature is Nature. We are made up of star stuff, of all the ancient languages and songlines, sacred geometry is our template, alchemy our song – the dreaming calls us to our life mission. Our threads are harmoniously woven with our sacred Earth and therefore her food, energy systems, sounds and medicine are designed for our pure health, love, vitality and wellbeing. Journey back to when we lived as hunter gatherers in perfect unison with life cycles and rhythms – our story is an Earth story – we are one. By plugging back in, together we rise in grace, love and harmony.

This is one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most powerful and beneficial practices for ourselves and others. In this workshop one will learn the benefits of the practice, plus learn to practice this simple yet profound technique oneself. One visualizes taking in the suffering of others on the in-breath, and on the out-breath giving love, compassion, and healing to oneself, others, or all sentient beings. This practice is incredibly powerful, not only to help others, but to reduce attachments, dissolve the ego (self-cherishing), purify karma and to develop and expand loving-kindness and bodhicitta. The practice of Tonglen involves all of the Six Perfections; giving, ethics, patience, joyous effort, concentration and wisdom. These are the practices of a Bodhisattva.

In this letting go of all intentions, the clown touches the magical “poetry of the ridiculous”: to play with one’s uniqueness, to laugh at oneself, to laugh with oneself, transforming fragility, imperfections, wounds and contradictions into comic poetry and personal power. The clown is the essence of what makes us each funny, our essential naivetes and innocence, our goofiness and awkwardness, the bit that would fly free if our ego didn't come in to save it.

During this workshop we will do several more cellular memory Romiromi release points.  We will explore more advanced Te whe sounding techniques (Lemurian Light Language) and sound into the energy centres to further support release of stuck energy.  We will activate the whatumanawa - 3rd  eye, and connect to the heart space to honour and welcome back those parts of ourselves that became fragmented when they experienced grief, fear, pain, trauma etc… and retrieve the fragmented parts of the soul back home to where they belong.  We will then anchor in new light codes in preparation for the next stage of our own personal evolution.

These teachings come from a unified lineage that was birthed into consciousness in 2013 to help humanity at this time of evolution, to remind us of our own innate power and purpose. It speaks to the hearts of those that are remembering…their Lemurian past.  We are part of the great awakening that is happening here on the land of first light…Aotearoa.  Preparing the way for New Earth….It is one of the many ascension tools that has come at this time, to bear witness to the great change that is taking place in the cosmos.

How can we activate the sacred medicine within us today? We are in a sacred dance. We are inextricably linked to our Planet in magical and mysterious ways. Journey back to who we truly are – at our essence, at our core. Our true nature is Nature. We are made up of star stuff, of all the ancient languages and songlines, sacred geometry is our template, alchemy our song – the dreaming calls us to our life mission. Our threads are harmoniously woven with our sacred Earth and therefore her food, energy systems, sounds and medicine are designed for our pure health, love, vitality and wellbeing. Journey back to when we lived as hunter gatherers in perfect unison with life cycles and rhythms – our story is an Earth story – we are one. By plugging back in, together we rise in grace, love and harmony.

These legendary magical powers are the keys to discover the magic of the soul self which mediates between the worlds. To learn the art of how to apply the four powers of the sphinx is to be able to dance between heaven and earth. Walking the path of authenticity and living the authentic life is to walk magically in the world and to live a truly magical life. In this presentation you will learn how to work with the four powers of the sphinx that are encapsulated in the magical admonition; to know, to dare, to will and be silent.” These four powers when understood enable a person to change the fabric of the universe to purpose good as they are the four pillars of the 8th ray magician.”

“Theatre itself is not revolutionary: it is a rehearsal for the revolution."  By watching theatre, we practice watching life.  By interacting in theatre, we practice interacting with life.

The art-form is specifically not meant for actors; it's meant for people, people who want to strengthen their ties to community, who want to find different perspectives, and who want to play and engage more fully in their lives.

This workshop will consider the assumption that a global transformation in human culture is now required. Fundamental to the transformation is the presumption of "prior unity", not working towards unity. Unity is so--the Earth is a single system and humankind is a single whole. How does this presumption manifest in human society--rather than the conflict between opposing identities, ethnicities, religions and nation-states --and in our lives?
