Contact Improvisation Fundamentals and Flows

An open class exploring the fundamentals of Contact Improvisation, with a focus on developing skills relating to: listening through your body; finding fun and flowing pathways in partnerships; safety and consent across all levels, and feeling confident to improvise and move creatively by yourself and with others.

Contact Improvisation (CI) is a dance form that combines elements of martial arts, somatics, contemporary dance and natural movement. There is a wide range of CI styles, and Rachel and Clare bring their experience of both deep listening and somatics, as well as a joyful pursuit of movement potentials. This results in a practice that allows you to move between states of stillness and internal awareness, and more acrobatic or highly physical activity.

CI most often involves physically connecting with an other/other peoples, so it requires a high level of self-awareness and care, both for yourself and others. It also asks you to be comfortable moving on the ground as well as working with your own weight, and potentially others.

Somatic Dance for Men

A space for men to gather as a tribe, to embody the depth of feelings and move with full expression. A space to be fully who you are as a man, to connect with your fullest power and to melt into your most tender vulnerability.

We will journey inwards then connect as a tribe of fully embodied men, self responsible, present in the here and now, empowered, gentle and fierce. We will ride a wave between our raw masculine power and our soft, feminine flow.

Somatic dance is a free movement dance where you cannot get it wrong. Go within, connect with the feelings of your inner landscape and allow that inner world to express through movement and sound. The dance space will be gently guided to support a deep inner journey of connection, expression, release, and creation.

I’m passionate to get more men dancing, dancing fully, with power, vitality, strength and energy but also to allow their feminine flow to be felt and seen. Dancing in flow, wavey, circular, tender, soft and sensual.

It’s my observation that full, embodied expression of masculine and feminine energies on the dance floor, creates a natural rebalancing of being. Healing for men, healing for women, healing for relationships and healing for the world.

Ascension & Wisdom from the Ancient Mu Civilisation

We combine meditation, breath, body movement and music to align the body-heart-soul to it’s ascension through tapping into ancient protocols.

Begin in the heart, with Simon guiding a Kogi Mamos heart meditation (a tribe from the pre-Colombian era, who came down from the Sierras in the 70s to share this meditation to restore the balance). As they proclaimed, the Great Change of the Age is upon us leading into 2024. The best way to prepare for this change is by raising personal consciousness so our nervous system can deal with ever increasing solar flares and balancing codes, pushing humanity to wake up and leave the 3rd dimension chaos (of money, war, time) transmuting fear and releasing all that no longer serves. This meditation brings the locus of consciousness into the centre of the heart, creating change – non egoic unity consciousness and direct connection to source. Its re-wires the Vargus nerve to unify left and right brain and helps the Merkabah to set in its most natural way.

Step then out of the timeline, back into the ancient Mu civilisation – Tiki (original humans) who were merged with Nature before the density increased. Kirsten will guide a body movement session, shape shifting with guided meditation, and powerful ancient Mu glyph symbol breath work to connect to our original blueprint. Mu protocols embracing the infinity loop where the core is balance, the zero point of implosion to all possibilities. When we restore our natural blueprint default, we immediately shed the programming of limitation back into the absolute power of oneness.
I AM. Ahau. The first symbol of Mu. And the Maori word for Me.

These powerful protocols spark the desire to share and teach this to others, so be prepared to unleash your own soul calling so together we bring about the new earth in the most sweet and simple ways.

In closing, Simon brings the energy to its locus point of all possibilities, with a Kyria yoga breath-work meditation practice which calls us to release and expand using the protocols of Ascension to spark teacher training in us all!

Mindfulness for Children

We will be holding a space for children to come and relax in a chilled environment to learn about mindfulness techniques, breathwork and coming home to themselves. If your child is autistic or has ADHD this would be a calm space to come and relax, I have experience in both areas as I have a child who is Autistic, ADHD and has GDD/Anxiety. Life is so busy and stimulating and in all of the hustle and bustle kids need that place to just come and be, and not HAVE to do anything. We will also have the ability to play music and learn rhythmical instruments and playing songs that don’t need them to understand or know the skill of chords. I have a drum that I will use to teach them how to use the vibration in their voice which stimulates the vagas nerve. Stimulating the vagas nerve tells your brain and heart to calm down. Life skills which often aren’t taught to a lot of children. Ages are from 5 years old upwards. We are happy to accommodate if you have a child with special requirements. Please ensure your child has had something to eat & drink before hand. I use Doterra oils to teach children and give them tools on relaxation.

——— for those who choose applications
Hello! I am adding this here because I am unsure where to. I would so love to be considered for this, this workshop is amazing! I have been running them in my area and people rave about them. I think it would be very valuable to bring something fun and light to Nz Spirit. The last two festivals I went last year had a lot of workshops for couples/relating and even though it is amazing that we are shifting our focus there.. I also think that there are other ways of approaching partnerships that have benefits and are enjoyable: like games for intimacy, learning communication through role-play and other type games. This is what I am committed to bringing in.
Thank you, and all the best!

Polarity Temple

Polarity: What exhibits opposite properties or powers in opposite parts or directions. Polarity is a concept that can be found in many aspects of life. Nature provides an incredible framework for understanding polarity, both within itself and within us as part of the natural world... Examples such as the moon and the sun, low and high, right and left, feminine and masculine, light and dark, and death and life... Duality creates balance and harmony, allowing for coexistence and complementarity.

Temple: I define a temple as a sacred space that grants permission to embrace every aspect of your being: mind, body, and soul. Your mind seeks understanding and coherence, your body craves sensation and perception, and your soul longs to orchestrate the symphony of your unique gifts.

In the Polarity Temple, we delve into the depths of your being to uncover qualities that may have been suppressed, denied, or even unknown to your consciousness. By unlocking these aspects, we tap into your true essence and unleash your vital energy.

Resonance Flow

Resonance Flow is a unique yoga and gongbath fusion experience created by Isabel Kwak, featured at yoga, wellness, music and spiritual festivals all over Korea, including as a headliner act for Wanderlust Korea.

This experience has exploded in popularity over the last year and although the project is currently based in South Korea, Isabel's true home is in Auckland, and she can't wait to share this experience back home in Aotearoa.

The Miracle of Fasting

Fasting is simply incredible and often gives a serious health result when nothing else has worked. Come and hear all about Regular Intelligent Fasting® (and how to incorporate it into your life). They say that ‘if you don’t eat, you die’. The actual truth is, ‘if you don’t eat too much, then you live longer’. I have fasted hundreds of times over the last 40 years. As I write this I am on day 11 of a nourishing fast and I feel awesome! Fasting is to recovery what sleep is to recuperation. The real problem is not fasting. The real problem is that we never stop eating, and we are generally eating the worst diet in history right now. Regular Intelligent Fasting® is energising, invigorating and revitalising and is one of the safest and gentlest healing methods known to man or medical science. This seminar covers all aspects of safe, healthy, proactive fasting.

Yollotlpactli - Heart of the Medicine Drum

Dive Deep to Fly High: Transcend limiting patterns to live more authentically aligned with SELF

The experiences we have in life, right from early childhood, can lead to us developing unconscious patterns of behaviour and stories about ourselves that can disconnect us from who we truly are and keep us stuck in unhealthy ways of living. In this workshop, we will explore how our attachment styles and emotional wounds have impacted us, identifying the self-protective strategies we engage in that no longer serve us. You will discover what your ''Valued Direction' is in life and learn how to live in alignment with this most authentic version of yourself. We will work holistically, integrating mind, body and spirt by utilising frameworks such as mindfulness, somatic experiencing, neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory and psychotherapy, as well as drawing on Dr Joe Dispenza's work on 'breaking the habit of being yourself.' Ultimately, we will be creating a deeper awareness of self and connection to spirit by raising awareness of your shadow aspects so that they can be integrated and transmuted into light, leaving you 'Authentically Aligned' with yourself and the universe so that your soul path is made manifest.
