Kia Ora guys - Eva has a flu, these are the seasons huh? So, this week I’ll be stepping in (Eve) on Tuesday for her session

Our society is fast paced, full of pressure or expectation.

At times we just need to slow down and nourish ourselves.

Come and fill your cup - let your little inner creative spark have an explore and find your centre with us?

These little flowers were chosen by my 3yo nephew today specifically for me (he’s in Christchurch.) Apparently walking long distances between he chose flowers specifically for people.

A little gift of precious reminders - we come from all over , far distances and yet still we can bring a little innocence for each other in the world right?

See you Tuesday at 6pm for a grounding experience

😉 Link in story and bio for session 🙏

We know winter is slow, a time for comfort and warmth … so going out could be quite a task in the evening right?

Follow us on instagram if you’re more into that platform and keep up with us there.

Meanwhile …

We invite you to a warm space at Escape over winter - get creative, meditate, nourish the body and mind with something a lil different?

See you there 🙏💜🙏

Tomorrow night at Inner Canvas: Finding your ground through the senses ✨

We’ll start with mindful 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, then choose one sensory detail that stands out.

Here’s where it gets fun - you’ll draw cards to create your unique writing prompt: one timeline card (past/present/future), one theme card (story, memory, scene, or abstract), and one creative prompt card.

Your combination becomes your personal doorway into writing.

Will you end up writing from the future about a magical landscape? From the past about a meaningful memory?

Come find out what combination you’ll draw! Meditation + creative exploration + surprise elements!

DM for class details, will see you at Escape Coffee ;)

Next week - Eva will be taking class as usual, but the following session (Tuesday 22nd July) is cancelled as it falls on my “rest week” (Eve) 💜🥳💜

23/06/2025

We’ll be taking the next two weeks off and will resume classes on Tuesday the 8th for a grounding themed session with Eve. See you all soon! 🌱

The Power of Words and Self-Talk

Words are more than sounds or symbols—they are energy.
The words we speak to ourselves shape our vibration and create the energy field we live in.

Self-talk, whether uplifting or destructive, is a constant internal dialogue.
And repeated thoughts—spoken or silent—become beliefs.
Those beliefs shape how we see the world, how we respond to it, and what we believe is possible.

So, speak to yourself with intention.
Use words that elevate, not diminish.
Because your inner voice is the most powerful narrator of your life.

Looking forward to delving into Intentional wordplay through Meditation, Afirmation and Art exploration this coming Tuesday Canvas

🙏 Eva

Last night was a blast - we explored various words and their impact on the nervous system - a show and tell from the book by Masuru Emoto and our word of the night we walked away with “sensational”

High fives all round team

Each word on the board was incorporated through our meditation to connect with the bodies experience of the word.

We broke down origins and took resonance back to essence with word and took a greater meaning with our mind, body, and energy.

And at the end?

We actually ran out of time to write letters to ourselves so instead i facilitated the meditation to take “enlivened” and “brilliant” into a book and the meditation showed the letter through a few simple pages.

Enrichment, nourishment, sensational … meringue 🤣🤣🤣👀😂 how did that one feel on the tongue 😛 🙏💜 have a wonderful rest of your day - and don’t forget to join us next week if you’re avail.

Sessions are $20 casual rate , $15 for seniors and students or head to our website for some intro offers and other forms of exchange rates.

Ps heads up from us - we will be taking the school holidays off for classes to keep a balanced schedule

Ngā mihi nui,
Eve

Hey lovely people - just a reminder tomorrow night we will explore this theme after a little break last week 🙏👀💜

Join us on intentional word - the power of our language and explore creativity, expression, meditating and self love through that avenue. This session will also include a powerful letter written to yourself… we explore the impact of words on the nervous system and which linguistics resonate with you most.

Something I explored over the last two weeks was language and blaming expressions. Labelling is harsh in argumentation and we might even find ourselves automatically voicing harsher sentences, judgments or words upon ourselves in the background of our awareness.

When exploring this concept I tried a tool where any time my internal voice began saying "you are" under any critical judgment towards somebody ELSE, I stopped mid-sentence and said "I am" and finished the sentence my mind was about to apply in harsh criticism.

When I turned this around - intentionally applying to myself the harsh words I was about to say about them - I found that the negative words and harsh criticism stopped almost immediately.

Word is powerful. Sometimes it becomes more self-directed and other times it's outward. Either way, in a space of disconnect we can be blinded to how our words can be used to transform.

There is beauty in softness. Delicate success in taking a pause, and being mindful of how different words sound. If you have ever heard of Dr. Masaru Emoto - you will know the visual resonance of words can be seen under microscopic imaging.

Words can be a river of joy and encouragement. They can inspire, transmute and create.

May we find a muse in each rhythm, syllable and sound… may we create ease and grace with our minds and thus our surrounds 🙏💜

See you tomorrow night? 6pm 🕕 at 15 Liardet Street at Escape Coffee

Bring your journal and if not we will have supplies for you - Ngā mihi, Your Facilitator this week Eve
