So how do you enact the Treaty every day? Why is this important?

3. Take action.

‼️Long post may trigger‼️

How do we rebuild ourselves from trauma and hurt?

Well whanau one thing we should avoid is to stop projecting our own hara onto others and expecting them to endure our pain and suffering too. Is it their fault? Ask yourself is this really fair at all. How does enforcing your trauma onto another innocent being help you become a better person? You are in a way neglecting to sit with your own pain, deflect, reflect and transmute it into love, healing and wisdom. Pain upon pain dosent work, just like two wrongs don't make a right. We need to be more mindful of those who have actually been sent by spirit to help love and heal us. They weren't sent to hurt you so watch who you push away. Spiritual catalysts are indeed our biggest teachers. Perhaps this is your lesson to learn in this lifetime. By acknowledging the lesson, we can fully identify and accept the unhealed parts within ourselves. These cracks, wounds below the surface in time will begin to heal and close up one by one. Keep doing your inner mahi whanau❤️‍🩹

Kia Kaha Kia Maia, Kia Manawanui

Sad Day...
RIP bulletproof

New Zealand music lost a legend today 🤍

Jay Bulletproof was truly a pioneer of the local drum & bass scene, he gave countless new and upcoming artists the opportunity to get their music heard and more recently he spent his last few years documenting the history of New Zealand Drum & Bass through his podcast, what a legacy.

Jay was a big supporter of what we did and we had the absolute privilege to have him headline our Pulzar FM 20 event only a few years ago.

Our thoughts & condolences go out to Jay's friends, family and all of our local electronic music family today ❤️ legends never die.

An excellent upcoming local event! I'll be there with light refreshments.

Tickets $5.00 Doors sales available , children under 16 free ATM and Free parking and coffee cart on site

"I don’t care how spiritual you are. How long you can melt in the sweat lodge. How many pe**te or ayahuasca journeys that have blown your mind, how many master plant diets you’ve done or how well you can hold crow pose. I don’t care what planets fall in what houses on your birth chart, or how “silent” your meditation is. I don’t care how many crystals you have or how long you’ve gone without sugar, salt, spices or s*x or how vegan your diet is.

I want to know how human you are. Can you sit at the feet of the dying despite the discomfort? Can you be with your grief, or mine, without trying to advise, fix or maintain it? I want to know that you can show up at the table no matter how shiny, chakra- aligned or complete you are- or not. Can you hold loving space for your beloveds in the depths of your own healing without trying to be big?

It doesn’t flatter me how many online healing trainings you have, that you live in the desert, forest or in a log cabin, or that you’ve mastered the art of ta**ra.

What turns me on is busy hands. Planting roots. That despite how tired you are, you make that phone call, you board that plane, you love your children, you feed your family.

I have no interest in how well you can ascend to 5D, astral travel or have out of body s*x. I want to see how beautifully you integrate into ordinary reality with your unique magic, how you find beauty and gratitude in what’s surrounding you, and how present you can be in your relationships. How do you hold the ones you love in the midst of conflict? How do you take responsibility for your part? How do you make amends?

I want to know that you can show up and do the hard and holy things on this gorgeously messy Earth. I want to see that you can be sincere, grounded and compassionate as equally as you are empowered, fiery and magnetic. I want to know that even during your achievements, you can step back and be humble enough to still be a student.

What’s beautiful and s*xy and authentic is how well you can continue to celebrate others no matter how advanced you’ve become. What’s truly flattering is how much you can give despite how full you’ve made yourself. What’s honestly valuable is how f***ing better of a human you can be, in a world that is high off of spiritual materialism and jumping the next scapegoat for “freedom.”

At the end of the day I don’t care how brave you are. How productive, how popular, how enlightened you are. At the end of the day, I want to know that you were kind. That you were real. I want to know that you can step down from the pedestal from time to time to kiss the earth and let your hair get dirty and your feet get muddy, and join the dance with us all."

- A modern day call to shifting from spiritual consumerism to returning to human kind… heart inspired by Oriah Mountain Dreamer’s, The Invitation, by Taylor Rose Godfrey
