Rongoā. Earth medicine. Soul medicine. 🌿
The ngahere holds the healing.
Our tūpuna simply showed us how to listen.

Kia ora whānau,

Sharing on behalf of Andrea for those who feel the call for deeper healing and connection. Please see the kōrero below, if this resonates with you, we warmly encourage you to attend.

“When we gather with intention, healing doesn’t happen alone, it happens together.” ✨

Family Constellation Group Event

You are warmly invited to a Family Constellation Group Event on 1st March, a nurturing day of connection, reflection, and collective healing. This gathering is about coming together in a supportive circle listening deeply, holding space for one another, and gently restoring balance within ourselves, our whānau, and our wider communities.

Andrea will guide the group through the process, exploring hidden patterns and supporting reconnection with our inner resources in a somatic, embodied way. No prior experience is needed, just an open heart and curiosity to experience something new.

Family Constellations can support:

- Trauma healing
- Gaining clarity around life decisions
- Goal setting and life transitions
- Understanding deeper family and relational dynamics

What to expect:
The day will begin with a cup of herbal tea and a grounding meditation. From there, the session will unfold organically.
Two names will be drawn to receive a constellation on the day. Others may participate as representatives or simply observe both roles can be powerful and meaningful experiences.

Event details:

Venue: Mauri Alchemy
Date: 1 March 2026
Time: 10.00am – 2.00pm
Investment: $40

Please contact Andrea to enrol and arrange payment in advance if possible.

Important note:
If you are currently experiencing a mental health condition, please get in touch prior to the event so we can ensure you are well supported.

Family Constellation is a therapeutic approach developed by Bert Hellinger.

Andrea is very much looking forward to spending this day with you in connection, presence, and shared healing.

Andrea 💚

Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

We are excited to be welcoming back another “Within Each Season” wānanga guided by Kandy and Summer🌙

This wānanga creates a sacred and intentional space for wāhine to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their inner knowing. Guided by Te Taiao, our atua and tūpuna, we come together to remember who we are, to release what no longer serves us, and to reclaim the mana, voice, and essence that has always lived within.

Last year, this wānanga was such a beautiful and powerful experience (Big Mihi to Kandy and Summer), and we know our wāhine have been patiently waiting for its return so here it is! ✨
Spaces are limited and will be first in, first served, so we encourage you to register early.

We cannot wait to sit in this space with you 🤍
Registrations now CLOSED!
