Kia ora e hoa ma. Greetings friends. We here in Aotearoa, NZ have just finished a wonderful weekend of Matariki celebrations. One of the few times I’ve bothered to turn on the television and watch the news. One of the few times when the war overseas in Iran did not dominate the news. It was so heartening to see communities throughout the country remembering, celebrating and dreaming of a better future. Timelines merged - past, present, future. People of all ages and ethnicities celebrated the return of Matariki (The Seven Sisters/Pleiades) their way. Some gathered in town halls to joyfully dance, while others lit fires on the beach and gazed up at the stars. And I saw the opening of hearts by caring business owners who lit their gas ovens and cooked a special meal for total strangers who live on the streets. Many Maori returned to their marae (ancestral meeting place) to Wananga - learn about their history and cultural practises passed down from tipuna (ancestors). Many of these practises pertain to the cycles of gathering and harvesting of Kai (food) from the land and sea and how the stars associated with Matariki can signal the next year’s bounty when you know how to read them. It is a significant marker in the night sky. Not only for us here in NZ, but for many other indigenous peoples around the world as well. Matariki is the Māori New Year in Aotearoa New Zealand and begins with the first appearance of the Matariki star cluster (known elsewhere as the Pleiades) in the pre-dawn winter sky. For Māori, Matariki is not simply the start of another year. It is a sacred season to: ● Remember those who have passed. ● Give thanks for the harvest and the blessings of the past year. ● Gather with family and community. ● Rest during winter. ● Set intentions for the year ahead. Although Matariki and the Northern Hemisphere’s Winter Solstice are not the same event, they share a similar spirit. Around the June Solstice, people in the Northern Hemisphere celebrate the year’s longest day, honouring the return of the light as summer begins.

Sending cleansing river love to all you beautiful beings!! Here are some pics I took today! 💚🤗💨⛰️🔥💧🏞️🪽

I see myself pausing for a moment with everyone I meet to connect with my divine self and be present with other people in silence, beyond all thoughts and pictures, beyond all stories and judgments, letting those fall away as I sense and connect with the divine self in myself, and in the other person. With each person I connect with in this way, the radiance of my divine self grows even stronger. I am going to discover wonderful new connections to others as I connect in the silence beyond thought. This will reveal to me the perfection, the beauty, the divine within everyone, as if I am in a sea of light. Light is all about me, the light of the divine. ✨
