Moran Wiesel - Earth Enspiralled

"I am writing to you at the completion of a Huakai’i, or voyage, with Hawai’i, the Big Island in the heart-pulse of the northern Pacific Ocean. I was held and guided by Pelehonuamea, who is the Volcano Goddess, the primordial force of all creation that devours the land and births new earth. ... I was with her in the night-time, red splashes of womb-blood painting the sky in her ecstasy dance."

And now, I am integrating the juice of being taken in and re-balanced by the fire that sparks the world.

When a Volcano Island invites you in, and in, and in, and in... "I was with her in the night-time, red splashes of womb-blood painting the sky in her ecstasy dance. I was with her deep within the earth, guided by Kumu Ehulani into her va**na cave. Down, down, down we went, through layers of time and...

Turns out, Substack is my friend. Within the sacred container of words, I can finally share with you all snippets along my path. Please follow my work there – I guarantee I'll be posting more regularly (and interestingly) on Substack, than on Meta.
I’ll be saving my poems and long-form essays for special occasions. In the meantime, here is a reflection on Sacred Rest and the Muse.

Enjoy, and say hi if you feel inspired to.

‘Do exactly what you need to do to welcome us in. And say yes to more sacred rest. For us.’

I'm an eco-therapist - which means my passion is helping you rediscover your own connection to the earth, the bush, the soil, your soul. There is *so much* wisdom here, just waiting for you to ask.

So, if you'd like a supported space to re-remember how to ask trees/ocean/everything for advice, I'm here for you!

Specifically, my session times in Oct-Nov are:
Tuesday mornings, Wednesday, Thursday afternoons, and Saturday.

See you in the bush!

(and ok, it *is* weird having the same graphic against different words, but hey, I'm an eco-therapist, not a graphic designer!)

As of NOW I have opened my books for one-on-one outdoor sessions! 🥳 Spread the word! 🌱 Booking link in comments 🌱

My approach is soul-based and somatic, honouring the power of earth as a therapist. Maybe you're yearning to deepen your earth-connection, or maybe you're going through a tough emotional/mental health time. Whatever your intention, I will journey with you to be present and honour whatever is. Together, we will create space for you to re-remember your intrinsic wholeness.

Get in touch if you’ve got any questions!

The Performing Lines Tas residency was inspirational, affirming, and a whole heap of creative fun. It’s gonna take me months to process all the learnings and next steps. And what a bunch of legends I got to share it with! Can’t wait to see all your projects flourishing over the next years. Hugggge shout out to the mentors for offering your immense wisdom.

Also!!! super duper stoked for my friend Lila, presenting an EPIC work in 2025! Stay turned!

Plus - Charcoal was INCREADIBLE. If you have a chance to see it somewhere, sometimes do it!

Well, that's a wrap! Listening with the Body: a tour full of surprises, including an added spontaneous performance, and warm-ocean swims! There's something in this program that touches people very deeply. As if, offering permission and tools to listen with our bodies, hearts, and souls, opens us up to the essence from which music emerges. We had folks who'd never listened to classical music before reveling in its depth, and classical aficionados who heard music in a whole new light. thank you to all you beautiful souls who journeyed with us. Until we meet again!

Big hugs and thanks to Mum (Alice Giles) for the magic of co-creating together, and for being the must stunning musician, harpist, and human ❤️

And, of course, thanks to all our hosts – Smith's Alternative, Bellingen Muse, Clarence Valley Conservatorium, The Harmony Centre, Cooronbong (Shakti Durga), and LDK Seniors' Living. HUGE thanks to Musica Viva Australia for making this tour possible as part of their NSW Regional Touring Artists program.

We've added a show tomorrow in Coorabong!! If you're around the Lake Macquarie area, or know of someone who is, let them know!!!

 Listening with the Body weaves together music, sensory movement meditation, and poetry into a journey with the resonance of sound and the harp.

What does it mean to truly listen with our whole bodies to music? My astonishing mother Alice Giles and I invite you to explore how movement and meditation can invite a journey into the powerful resonances of the classical harp.

We're so excited to be bringing this to the Bellingen Muse Festival, where I'll also be guiding an "Earth Connections" workshop outdoors, and the Clarence Valley Conservatorium. Share with your NSW friends!!

Many thanks to Musica Viva Australia for having us as Regional Touring Featured Artists for 2024!

Patagonia de Chile.
A pilgrimage, a calling, an allowing for land and spirit to guide me into the beauty and magic of all that is.
I have been travelling for 3 weeks now (I think), and so far, I have sung to the heart of a glacier, slept underneath a Chilean Nothofahus (Coihue), and (re)found siblings in the spirits of the mountains.

I have let myself unfurl all my bound up wings, and leant completely into the gusts and eddies of trust.

Make no mistake, this journey has called forth a shedding, a cleansing, and a river of tears for a land that is calling, calling, calling for us all,
remember
remember
this is a sacred place.

This earth is a sacred place.

~~

I had the intention of sharing my journey as I went along here - but there is a tension for me in broadcasting a journey such as this. There is no need for performativity in pilgrimage. My closest friends have been the ancestor-mountains. And for me, I do not communicate to them via Insta or FB.

But.

I am unfurling all my bound up wings.

And sometimes, connections occur in strange places.

So here we are!!

(Besides, that glacier/sun pic is majjjjiccalll!)

Just like that, the Forum is HERE!! I can't wait to share space with such incredible presenters!! You'll catch me sharing a performance poetry set, an early morning sound bath, and a workshop "Storytelling from Earth Presence". See you there!
