🎶 Channel divine frequencies through song, mantra, storytelling, and sound
🗣 Speak our truths and hold space for others to be heard

Blue Lotus & Sound Ceremony with Matt
🌑✨ Blue Lotus & Sound Ceremony Immersion ✨🌑
Monday, June 23 | 6:30–8:30 PM | Waiheke Mystery School
You're warmly invited to a special one-off New Moon Ceremony, where ancient plant wisdom meets sacred sound in a space of deep rest, reflection, and soul nourishment.
🪷 We begin with a ritual connection to Blue Lotus, the revered flower known for its heart-opening, calming, and consciousness-expanding qualities. Let this sacred brew gently guide you inward as you set intentions under the energy of the new moon.
🎶 The ceremony unfolds into a multi-layered sound journey, featuring the powerful resonance of taonga pūoro—traditional Māori instruments, lovingly known as “singing treasures.”
Guest musician Matt (Beneath the Ether) will guide us through the breath of the kōauau (flute) and the vibrational hum of the porotiti, inviting you into an ancient, timeless space within.
🌀 Then Valeska will lead you into inner stillness through the crystal singing bowls—gently stilling the mind and deepening your inner dive.
✨ To close, Matt will skillfully play his handpan, bringing you back into an inner flow—a quiet yet vibrant dance with your own essence. A soulful landing that invites your spirit to breathe, move, and glow.
🧘 No experience is needed—just an open heart, curiosity, and a willingness to rest and receive.

Kirtan Chanting (Sacred Mantras)
Namaste, dear friends,
Welcome to an enchanting and transformative journey through the sacred art of Kirtan! Prepare to immerse yourself in an evening filled with soul-stirring melodies, ancient chants, and heart-opening vibrations that will transport you to a realm of profound tranquility and connection.
Kirtan, a Sanskrit word meaning "narrating, reciting, telling, describing," holds within its essence the power to still the restless mind and awaken the deepest corners of your being when approached with a genuine intention.
In this gathering, we invite you to join us in the timeless tradition of call-and-response, where each mantra we chant is met with an echo from the collective, creating a symphony of unity and devotion. As the sacred sounds reverberate through the sacred space, a profound calmness will envelop your mind and heart, nurturing a sense of peace and tranquility that resonates long after the last note fades away.
No prior experience is required to participate in this captivating experience.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious soul taking your first step into the realm of Kirtan, our circle is open and welcoming to all. Simply bring yourself, an open heart, and a willingness to explore the depths of your own inner wisdom.
Join us in this sacred space as we sing from the depths of our hearts, allowing the music to weave its magic and unite us in a shared experience of divine bliss.
With love,

Tantra Experience - Sahasrara Chakra
The 7th Chakra (Sahasrara), means ‘thousand-petaled’ and is all about super-consciousness and transcending the human condition.
This energy centre controls our connection to spirit, and our sense of universal consciousness, wisdom, unity and self-knowledge.
Association with the colour violet reflects the Crown chakra’s link to spirituality and enlightenment.
When right and left sides of the brain merge, the mid-brain goes through a sudden awakening, as all the ‘lights’ get switched on.
This leads to the experience known as Mahamudra, the Great Gesture arising from the ultimate orgasm with the universe.
Such experience takes us beyond duality into oneness with all that is.
We move from personal love, into universal love.
The Crown chakra stores energies amassed through kind thoughts and actions, faith, meditation and prayer.
Here we are able to transcend the material world and commune with the divine.
Sahasrara is aligned to seek an intimate relationship with the universe.
Tantra Experience - Ajna Chakra
The 6th Chakra, Ajna, is the chakra of intuition, self-realisation, inspiration and imagination.
This third eye chakra Ajna, which means “order" is the place of lightning and fire.
The sixth chakra is associated with mystical visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe chakras and auras, precognition and out-of-body experiences.
It is where we develop an impersonal mind and detach from physical and mental illusions.
This is where we can transcend thoughts, worries and fears to know our souls deeply from within.
The energy of this chakra allows us to see and understand the inner and outer worlds.
When stimulated, both hemispheres of the brain work together and help us transcend dualistic thinking.
When open, the third eye chakra connects us to the present moment and can deepen spiritual connection as well as provide wisdom and insight.
