We have a juicy episode for you today my loves. A slightly different format than our usual episodes. Ya gurl fell in love, and this is our story. I called in a super aligned energetic match - and have been in a love and healing portal this summer. I have felt so expanded by the journey that I had to bring it to the pod. This is a two part episode, the first one is juicy soft feminine vibe that has lessons woven throughout. We speak into the realms of tūrangawaewae and ūkaipō, recognising and trusting synchronicities, building trust through intamacy and men developing emotional intelligence to support holding a women with emotional depth. Shay is a thought leader, keynote speaker and entrepreneur from mixed European and Maori ancestry. He has been working on some big missions to create impact including economic empowerment of Māori communities through founding Te Whare Hukaka, helping shift our education system, and more recently food sovereignty and resilience through a nutrition venture called elemental food, providing daily nutrition from natural superfoods. He has been an advisor and coach to hundreds of organisations leaders and has a wealth of concepts around personal growth and development. And if I do say so myself, he's the perfect match for me. Part two is out next Wednesday - we enter more into the masculine space, with really tangible and practical concepts that we have been working with to bring a deep sense of trust and safety. What we cover: How are tūrangawaewae and ūkaipo different? Preparing for an aligned partnership Trusting and following synchronicities Honouring the season of healing that you're in and not rushing connection Releasing judgment about expectations or outcomes in potential partners Men developing emotional intelligence to support holding a women with emotional depth Building trust through intimacy SOCIALS: SHAY WRIGHT instagram | @the50shadesofshay AIO instagram | @aio.thepodcast tik tok | @aio.thepodcast TARIKURA instagram | @tarikura_ DONATE: My loves, help keep this podcast alive by donating!

Kia ora honeys, welcome to Āio. Grateful you are here. In todays epsiode we are exploring Cranio-Sacral therapy, a non-invasive form of medicine that focuses on the manipulation and balancing of the craniosacral system. It works on the nervous system, and if you are on any kind of healing journey you will know the impact of cultivating a calm working nervous system. I am joined today by Jaqs Clarke, a practicing cranio-sacral therapist with an introduction to the Fundamentals of Cranial Osteopathy through the Centre for Continuing Education Osteopathy in Canada. She is deeply attuned to brain health, because she believes that tuning the bio- rhythmic coherence in the cranio-structure is not only essential for overall health, but also for our spiritual evolution both individually and collectively. We unpack what the fluid field is, what ailments you might be experiencing to see a cranio-sacral therapist and how this work can affect your whole system, a true holistic practice. We explore how water systems in cities mirror the water systems inside of us, how galaxies are strange attractors and the importance of drinking good water.

Moving our mindset to a more indigenous view will help heal this world. From education to agriculture, from mental health to being community led. The indigenous view communicates our oneness with nature, it highlights a holistic approach and awakens ancient medicine. Today I am speaking to Amelia Butler, an educator and lover of Māori culture and language. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree and Māori Land Law degree from the University of Auckland. She lives on Turtle Island (USA) and runs a business called Learn Māori Abroad, teaching Māori and non Māori about Māori culture, language, haka and poi. She is on a mission to educate about the term "reindigenisation" and feels it is a powerful word to reclaim our Māoritanga. How can we move away from centering the colonisor on our reclamation journey and instead feed ourselves with indigenous practices to develop a more indigenous mindset and way of living. Whether you are on your Te Reo Māori journey or curious about indigenous culture this episode is hugely educational, insightful and inspiring. WHAT WE COVER: - Starting arted her business - Learn Māori Abroad - Amelias Te Reo Māori Journey - Reindigenisation as opposed to decolonisation - What are you left with after decolonisation? - Grieving the impact of colonisation has had on our whakapapa - A perspective shift about viewing our pakeha ancestors - The weaving of Māori culture and Native American culture - Wāhine's place in the haka - Cultural appropriation of the haka - Hine Moana Nui Socials: LEARN MĀORI ABOARD website | https://www.learnmaoriabroad.com/ instagram | @learnmaoriabroad tik tok | @learnmaoriabroad instagram | @amiriabutler AIO instagram | @aio.thepodcast tik tok | @aio.thepodcast TARIKURA instagram | @tarikura_ DONATE: My loves, help keep this podcast alive by donating!
