Aloha everyone, my name is Jace Kennedy. I currently call Maui home—she’s a teacher who continues to humble and shape me daily. What brought me to this community is a deep commitment to being part of something greater than myself—a desire to live within a village rooted in embodied growth, truth-speaking, and regenerative living. Within myself, my relationships, and the world, I’m drawn to spaces like this where transformation isn’t just talked about, but lived. From this experience, I’m calling in clarity of purpose, authentic connection, and the accountability to keep showing up as the most aligned version of myself. I’m also calling in mirrors—reflections of those walking this path with integrity and open hearts. I see myself showing up here with grounded curiosity and a willingness to both be challenged and offer support. I bring the voice of a protector, a student of the wild, a lover of truth, and someone deeply committed to living in right relationship with the Earth, the body, and the soul.

I want to name something I struggle with—this pressure to find my purpose, to be in service and to know my unique eternal soul duty on why I’m here. The more I see it come to my awareness in different cultures—dharma, ikigai, kuleana— it continuously frustrates me to not feel I have this one thing or specific calling to name. This point between passion, mission, vocation, service and profession is where I yearn to have clarity. I feel a tension between the fire of purpose and the fog of inaction. It’s tough because I feel like my purpose is a wildfire—spreading wide, burning deep—but not striking like a lightning bolt with clear direction and focus. I feel I’m being pulled in all directions without an anchor. Without knowing where to lay the anchor leaves me in a state of non-commitment and even numbness at times. There’s a quote that’s been sitting heavy on my heart that says “every human is guilty of all the good they did not do.” This weighs on me not because of the guilt I feel for not doing more, but the responsibility I hold knowing I’m capable of more. I see myself doing more. I see the visions, but vision without action is a daydream and action without vision is a nightmare. I’ve lived both but lately, I feel in a prolonged fucking daydream. I’m here to turn vision into aligned action—to create momentum within myself through tribe. I’m committing myself to this community because what I’ve been doing hasn’t been working and committing to nothing has left me distracted by everything. I’m ready to take more aligned action in my life. I’m ready to be witnessed without being remotely close to having this “life” or “purpose” thing figured out. I’m ready to do more—for myself, for my community, for my contribution while I’m here.

You are walking the path the ancestors prepared for you. Don’t let negative thoughts cloud the vision they’ve gifted you. Stand grounded, observe deeply, and trust that you are exactly where you’re meant to be.🌬️🍃 Message: The path before you is no accident, it is woven with wisdom and intention. Release the grip of negativity and trust the guidance flowing through you. Ground yourself in this moment; it is exactly where you are meant to grow.

Sup my family. Benny Checking in with gratitude and grace this morning from Nelson Bay, NSW, Australia. A kiwi (New Zealander) living in Ozzy for the last 30 years on & off. Husband of 20 years this march and father to 3 amazing little humans. I have been in business for my self for the last 10+ years which was extremely difficult but it also gifted me so many lessons about myself first and foremost, but so many lessons in business and humanity. I taught me that I am here for something much greater than just building shiny things for the ones who are stuck in this materialistic state of being. I lead mens circles here for my community and I will be expanding my offerings this year bringing more men into alignment and connecting more conscious community. I am super excited to be apart of this community and all that is on offer so I am a student once again here to learn from you all. ✌️❤️🤙
