Kia ora whānau I trust all is well… & you are settling into the holidays etc.
Just a heads up looks like someone out there is pretending to be me… so please don’t accept any friend request from someone called mat that’s stolen an old profile pic…they probably want to sell or take your crypto so be aware
BLOCK & REPORT THEM.

Take care.

Mōrena whanau,
How you all doing out there…
Are you feel this new moon solar eclipse energy… the portal opened 2 days again and will last for another 2 days after the peak of today.🌑

In the sign of Libra, so if you know your chart see what house Libra sits in your birth chart… & this will be a place that things may be resurfacing from the past. So let them flow & observe let go & release.

A good time for self love & rest not a great time for manifesting due the chaos energy of the eclipse.

Best to stay grounded & doing grounding activities get out in nature have a long soak in the bath lay in the sun ☀️💗

The photos could be a solar eclipse how I took these on a location while working on power rangers I crawled into an old grain silo & meditated much like going back into the womb.
Then I was re birthed as I crawled back the manhole or is it a women hole
🕳️ 🤷🏽‍♂️✨

Take care out there.
Look after each other.

Morena whānau,
How are we all ? Doing good?
It’s been a minute or more like 2-3 months.
Where did that time go right… the year is flying by as we move in to age of Aquarius.
The energy of change is in the air certainly in my world moving whare, down sizing letting go of those things that no longer serve or radiate love. All while working 3 jobs it’s certainly been a process. Homeless but free & open to what universe has to offer. It feels liberating in many ways & as the they say life cycles come in 7s… hard to believe it’s been 7 years at this whare already, as the winds of change blow in
I look forward to this new adventure of the unknown.
Speaking of change we have a super full moon lunar eclipse 🌕 this evening in Pisces The beginning of eclipse season.
So a good to rest & make time for yourself look into the things that come up for you in your dreams, what your life dreams are plus the reality of where we are & stay grounded 🙏🏾💗✨
Eclipses are good at digging into the shadows of ourselves a time for rest & not a good time for manifesting.
It certainly feels like eclipse energies at the moment
So much change going on right… in the world, & the collective consciousness.
Then on the 22nd we have the equinox the change of seasons.
Longer days ☀️
Be safe out there.

Morena whānau,
I trust you are all well… enjoying the blue days we’ve been having sooo good aye.
Celebrating the Matariki today the star of the Maori New Year… & course a great for new cycles new beginning & closing of the old.

Matariki is is commonly known throughout the world as Pilates or Messier45 (M45) this open star cluster is located in the constellation of Ta**us the bull near its shoulder. There are actually civil hundred stars and Pilates of which only a handful of visible to the naked eye. Pilates is an apparent magnitude of 1.6 meaning it is not as bright as many of the other stars in the sky however it is immediately recognisable due to its uniqueness and beauty.

So yes get together with friends & whānau celebrate eat kai, talk, laugh, get out in nature, love & hold each other.
Tell them how wonderful they are & how much you love them.
Enjoy the celebrations around the country where ever you are… & take a moment to look up into the eyes of the universe & see the beauty that surrounds us all😻🥰✨💫🙏🏾

Enjoy the long weekend & travel safe.

Love you all Happy Matariki ✨💗🙏🏾

Mōrena whānau,
How are we all?… good I trust? been a little busy however good, a few changes happening…
Are you feeling the change of seasons? as we step into the winter solstice (yesterday)and a Capricorn full moon this evening🌕♑️
So a good to reflect on your goals for connection, healing, justice & relationships. Look at how far you have come. Be grateful for all you have & all those wonderful people in your & our lives.
And tell them how amazing they are.
A great time to make those much needed changes to set you on track for the next 6months…
Did I say how amazing & awesome you all are.
Love you to the moon and back💗🤍💞
Thank you all for all your wonderfulness🙏🏾

Speaking of moon here’s a few photos of a not quite full moon from this morning.

Mōrena whānau,
How we doing out there? Feeling those winter vibes roll in⛈️❄️☔️ right…
And aren’t even in the thick of it…😬
Best be booking that winter holiday 🏝️

Speaking of holidays well actually work…here’s a few pics from an around the home town of Twizel.
You know how awesome it is, when you go back a place that has had big part in who you are in life… this was the time for me, after being away for 16yrs plus it really was great come home & touch the ground, smell the air & see all the beauty that surrounds this area.🏔️🗻🙌🏾
It brought so many memories back for me that I had forgotten about… like the time went to school crying because my parents were arguing that morning, plus all the things you do in small towns & naughty s**t you get up to.🫢
The people, the friends, the families, the community…all the funtimes & bad.
Tbh I wouldn’t have given that up for the world.
This is what’s me appreciate the connection of Mother Nature ✊🏾🙏🏾
I’m grateful to have been apart of this place & community the opportunity to get back down there with some mahi.

More to come.

Mōrena whānau, arohamai had some glitches in the post so gone burger…
3rd time lucky 😬 mercury retrograde is sure in the house😬….something weird happened in the last post
Who’s noticed the poor internet plus delays in travelling & technology glitches & things playing up…thank you mercury
Well I can say it’s a big month for astrology that’s for sure… with the big talk around the full solar eclipse on the 8th plus we have just rolled into mercury retrograde 😬 we love that right… what Evers happening in your world remember to breathe & feel into the process & the responded rather than react💗🥰
Well continuing on the journey of the, Blue Mountains Whoa 😱🤯🙌🏾⛰️ this place wow…
What a trip, seriously it’s like a time warp & feeling like your in another country…
What a buzz & actually I was like WTF… it’s quiet hard to actually comprehend the size & scale of this place…🙌🏾
We did the grand tour $100, 2hrs guided tour with 600step & you get to see all the gems well worth it. I want to go back.
Jenolan Caves is one of the great natural spectacles in Australia: the most ancient open caves in the world with arguably the most beautiful limestone formations. Tucked into a remote valley in the southern Blue Mountains National Park, this labyrinth of stalactite-lined chasms carved by pure underground rivers is a must-do extension for any visit to the Blue Mountains.

The limestone here formed around 430 million years ago, during the geological period known as the Silurian

A bunch of portrait style photos to come so hold tight🙏🏾

Mörena whanau,
How are we all…
Are we still enjoying the full moon eclipse energies😵‍💫 whoa right… I feel rinsed 🥱
However you know surrender to the process aye…

So on the road heading towards Jenolan Caves we stop in the cute historical village of Little Hartley…
Set among pastures, orchards, and nineteenth and twentieth-century cottage gardens, with lovely sandstone buildings the Hartley Historic Site preserve is an important piece of history. This well preserved 19th century village was one of the first rural settlements west of the Blue Mountains.

The site was originally established as an administrative and judicial centre for the region with the building of the Mortimer Lewis designed courthouse in 1837. Seventeen buildings tell the story of the village, from the 1837 Greek Revival courthouse, to Corneys Garage built of timber and iron in 1945 and now an antique shop.

Explore the artefacts and family histories, find out about the region’s past at the visitor centre, or enjoy a picnic in the absolute serenity of historic Hartley. Enjoy a short walk up to The Tor, a place of great significance to the local Aboriginal community with dreamy views looking down into the valley. Dogs are permitted in the village if held on a lead at all times.

Lots of interesting rock formation in the area.
The antique store is awesome & art craft is interesting too.

Always good to check out these historic sites aye

I’d be interested to know more about the 1st nation people of this area too.

Mōrena whānau,
How you all feeling with the full moon & lunar eclipse energies in the mix 🌕🌚…the beginnings of the new & endings of old outdated cycles & patterns.
A great time to do some inner work & look into those things that no longer serve our life purpose.
Take note of your dreams… mine have certainly been good for the last few evenings that’s for sure.✨🤯🤩
A great time to spend near a water source to to help calm, soothe, recharge & ground your body.💦🌊

Speaking or waters that soothe here’s a spot on the Victoria Falls walk track… the sliver cascades probably 300m from the top of Victoria Falls.
A great spot to spend the day exploring & soaking in the vistas & scenery. The bush start to get lusher as you get lower in the valley with lots of ferns.
A few people about being the weekend but space to mooch around.
The space near top of Victoria falls is quieter & has the views into the valley 🙌🏾
We didn’t actually make to the bottom of Victoria falls probably another 30min downhill.

Grade 5 hard walk with a steep track 4km return 2-3hrs depending. Pretty sweet I thought…So a great place for leg day as it’s downhill & up all the way back.
But so worth it.
Drive in along Victoria falls road is along ridge line so some pretty cool views too.

It’s certainly not as busy as some of the spots so definitely check it out. Take your lunch
& best not to walk back up in the peak heat of the day…

Stay awake, stay beautiful, stay free

Kia ora whanau,
How’s you doing? Good?
Well so much to take in here & a lot of photos to go through that’s for sure.
And a lot of information & downloads up here in the Blue Mountains 🤯✨
Seriously where do you start…
From Lincoln’s Rock to Empress Falls to Evans lookout (had to go here right) some ancestral vibes here, to Popes Glen track witch take you to George Phillips & Govetts Leap lookouts. 😍🙌🏾
This place is old like millennia old… you can feel the energy the vibe the denseness.
Your sixth sense really come on line here 💥 & that is the beauty & power of nature right.
I certainly fell that back home in Karekare & being in a new place it’s like on hyper drive so loving that.
A whole load more photos to come of views, dams, rivers, lakes, caves, beaches & spaces.

✊🏾respect to our aboriginal brothers & sisters 💗
