12 Things You Must Know About Kambo Before Getting Pricked

June 20, 2018 by Guest Author

Kambo

by Chris Kelly, If you’d told me years ago that the slimy secretion from an Amazonian tree frog - sometimes called “ordeal medicine” - was incredible for my health, I’d think you were a little nuts. If you told me it was applied directly into the lymphatic system through small little burn marks on the skin, I’d think you were completely nuts! I never would have believed that I’d be applying these very same burn marks and this slimy frog secretion to myself, let alone regularly serving it … [Read more...]

Kara-Leah at Lake Middleton. Outfit: Courage My Love Clothing

by Kara-Leah Grant You don't have to know WHY you carry a particular belief to completely heal & release it. A story that illustrates this... It's April 2017. I'm on a camping road trip of the South Island with my partner and child. I take us to Lake Middleton - my family camping spot from about age 8 until I was 17. Every summer, and many holidays, we would pack everything into the car, hook on the Nifty Nomad Camper, pack our tents and kayaks and fishing gear, and head up to the Lakes for … [Read more...]

Philip Shepherd on What It’s Really Like To Experience Radical Wholeness

March 23, 2018 by Lucinda Staniland 1 Comment

Lessons from the Overwhelming Success of LoveLake Festival

March 16, 2018 by Kara-Leah Grant Leave a Comment

Jase Te Patu Lovelake Festival

by Kara-Leah Grant Five weeks and three core staff - that's all it took to produce a full programme at LoveLake Festival including yoga, meditation, workshops and DJs in three different rooms over four days. Oh, and another four people who joined in the final week for delivery. That, and incredible support from Wairakei Resort Taupō, who hosted the event, and massive buy-in from the conscious community, including the presenters. Because it was a bold move by DJs Chris Scott and Sandon Ihaia … [Read more...]

Jason Corliss: Love Fully, Live the Moment, Believe in the Magic

March 1, 2018 by Kara-Leah Grant Leave a Comment

by Kara-Leah Grant The last time I saw Jason Corliss - Organic Mechanic founder, wizard, shaman, healer, sage - was at Kawai Purapura on Sunday, February 11th, 2018, for a Cacao Ceremony. He was outside, dancing, in the rain. This weekend - the weekend of his funeral, was the International Yoga Festival at Kawai Purapura, and I was presenting. Grace meant I was scheduled only for Friday and Sunday, so I was able to go and sit with Jase at the funeral home on Saturday morning before … [Read more...]

The Only Thing to Fear is Fear Itself? Bullshit

September 22, 2017 by Kara-Leah Grant 1 Comment

by Kara-Leah Grant We all know the saying - the only thing to fear is fear itself. But it's wrong. Completely totally and utterly wrong. And if I was a conspiracy theorist, I would say that disseminating that piece of wisdom is a sneaky way to disempower people completely and turn them into comfort-seeking, convenience-addicted sheep. Fear is not to be feared. In fact, fearing fear feeds the fear and locks us up into a big old contracted mess that will do anything to avoid how … [Read more...]

How to Connect with the Energy of the Divine Feminine

June 15, 2017 by Kara-Leah Grant 1 Comment

by Kara-Leah Grant I'm leading a Women's Circle at Power Living Wellington on July 8th where I've promised that women will learn how to embody and evoke the energy of Maha Shakti - one aspect of the Divine Feminine - through the practice of asana, pranayama and meditation. But what does that mean? I feel the energy of Shakti in me when I practice, when I walk, when I dance, when I write, when I make love. She is always there, within, only a breath away from my awareness. But how do … [Read more...]
