I miss my family, my friends and my community...

Now that's not to say I'm lonely, ungrateful or unhappy with where I am because I'm surrounded and fully supported by my husband, his family and friends in this sweet little Bavarian village, I'm even beginning to make my own new friends which is exciting, while simultaneously missing my people and lifestyle back in New Zealand...

As I sink into the reality of choosing to birth my baby in a new country, for me has been a completely new experience. I'm learning to navigate and expand my capacity to be as present as I can be nurturing my new little family and new connections as well as keeping our energetic love lines and our connections strong with our friends and family spread across the world 🤍

Mothers are straight up SUPERHEROES, dressing gowns are our costumes and spit cloths are our capes!

Appreciation to all the mamas out there, I see you, thank you.🦸‍♀️

There’s something that shifted deeply within me this weekend…
and I now understand why.

We live in a world that teaches us to operate from scarcity.

To hold on.
To strive.
To chase.

To believe there isn’t enough.
But this weekend… I experienced something different.

I said yes to being in a space I didn’t fully understand, only that I felt deeply called to be there.

And in the process of carving my taonga… something in me cracked wide open.

It wasn’t just a physical piece I was shaping.

It became a reflection of my own life force.

My journey.
My intentions.
My becoming.

And when it was placed over my head… I couldn’t hold it in.

I sobbed.

Not from pain…
but from connection.

A deep remembering of who I am.
A deep acceptance of where I’ve been… and a powerful clarity of where I’m going.

In that moment, there was no scarcity.
No fear.
No needing to control or figure it all out.

Only trust.
Only presence.
Only heart.

And it made me realise something so clearly…

This is the work.
Not more doing.
Not more chasing.
But returning to self.

Reconnecting to something deeper than what the world has taught us to be.

And this is exactly why I’ve created the Pilgrimage.

Because what I experienced this weekend… is what I know is possible for all of us.

To step out of the noise.
To reconnect to truth.
To walk a path that is led by something deeper than the mind.

This journey is not about escaping your life… it’s about remembering who you are within it.

If you’ve been feeling the pull…
the quiet knowing that there is more for you…

This is your invitation to The Leadership Project - Pilgrimage to Self

A journey of reconnection, truth, and transformation.

If this speaks to you, reach out.
I’d love to share more with you.

A collection in reflection of the many spaces and people I've collaborated and shared with over these recent years.
Now choosing to take this time and space to grow a new life, redirecting that nurturing energy I so often poured into these offerings toward my own little family till it comes time to share with the wider community one day again 🤍🌏

Yesterday my closest family members and friends came together to honour my journey from maiden to mother. In the form of a Mother Blessing, a kind of gathering new to most, it was met openly and filled with so much love, positive intentions and well wishes.
These people have known me from the start, they have witnessed and accepted so many versions of me in the last 3 decades all the way from conception and birth by my own mother, to my two older sisters I grew up so closely with who went on to bear the most beautiful children crowning me"aunty Daisy" since I was 12 years old.
On to the friends who showed up as pou of different stages of friendships from school ages to more recent years.

They had all been patiently wondering and waiting for "my turn", the time is now and through this gathering our little starseed got to hear and feel all of the love and support surrounding us.

This gathering was a humble reminder that my inner circle may be small but truly blessed.

Sisterhood is built in a 1000 tiny moments.

Holding each other through a couple of sketchy situationships & hangovers & one night stands.

Holding the door open when she’s cheated on or her Dad dies.

It’s the friend who texts you in the middle of a panic attack to check in because she always knows when you’re off.

It’s the girl who signed up to my retreat who’s now a daily podcast vn bestie.

Sitting in ceremony with vodka or cacao (it’s changed a bit over the years.) And holding her heart and her hair back as she processes her feelings.

It’s quiet dinners on the floor and somehow the conversation winds to inner child wounds and hurts that wish to be witnessed.

It’s brunch in a different country that lasts 3 hours and even though you haven’t seen each other in a year nothing has changed.

It’s loosing each other in seasons and still loving each other even though it’s been a decade since you were in person.

It’s the support in your loneliest moments whilst travelling and the friend who stays up late into the night giggling about the future.

It’s the tiny moments of quiet comfortability that create a foundation for sisterhood and growth.

It’s how we went from gossiping to growth & realising we can talk about our goals instead of other people and how they choose to live their lives.

Sisterhood is pure authentic magic. 👯‍♀️

I deeply love the women in my life, and many of you aren’t pictured here because we simply forget about our phones when we share space.

It’s the way we walk each other home.
The real love that sometimes hurts but helps us to see our truth. That is sisterhood.

Once upon a time we gathered in red tents and stone circles. Now we gather online.

I see you babe.
And I look forward to getting to know you too.

Something so sacred it awakens your inner mysteries and heals your sister wounds is coming ….

The bye for now tour is complete, I've spent the last 3 months on the road between Auckland and Wellington collaborating and sharing nourishing gatherings, spending quality time with family and visiting friends along the way.

I have left the country for quite some time and all my in person offerings have gone on pause, but we can still stay connected online, follow the link in my bio to see if any of these offerings feel like a "YES" for you.

Till next time 🤍
