Whakapapa - Reclaiming Your Ancient Lineage

Ariana Fleming

When was the last time you gave thought for the thousands of people that have existed, every step of their lives leading to the very creation of YOU? When you look in the mirror do you see that your features are not just your own? That they are the unique formula of the love that your lineage has weaved into this world since the beginning of time! In this heart opening workshop, Ariana Fleming will take you on a cultural journey back to self, exploring the Maori concept of "Whakapapa". Far beyond the narrow lens of western genealogy we will be remembering these teachings of our ancient earth based cultures and rediscovering that our home lies within us! We are all of the earth and we all lived in communion with the earth mother and sky father within our ancient bloodlines. All are welcome in this sacred capsule.

Please bring blankets/mats/bolsters to ensure your comfort.
