Patchamama Festival
20-24 July
Eigental Luzern, Switzerland
|
|
As newbies to the festival not knowing anybody or how things worked. Arriving up in the valley of Eigental behind Mt Pilatus, we were greeted by a ferocious hail storm and no place left to pitch our tent. We did have second thoughts about staying.
We found a spot when things calmed, and then settled in for a rainy night.
We were given the early morning spot to share Healing Haka® with the people each day. Our first morning at the cultural tent we found a few people sleeping in their sleeping bags, while the rest of the festival seemed to be fast asleep. We didn't expect anyone to show up yet we decided to sing a song. Maybe those ones sleeping in their sleeping bags would join us.
Suddenly after the conch call and opening karakia, people came from all sides. We ended up having an awesome time with about one hundred people. Actually this morning spot worked miracles, as each morning the numbers grew while the Healing Haka® and songs had also increased in volume. This echoed out into the valley and we were the morning wake up for the festival.
The magic of the valley and the spirit of festival appeared more and more with the arriving sun. We are so grateful and thankful to have received this wonderful experience. We were very impressed how the children were so free and creative and everyone so kind and respectful toward each other. The music the dancing the practices and the ceremonies brought such a joy to the world.
We were honored to be invited by the Organizing Team to create the Closing Ceremony for the Festival
Maioha maioha maioha!
Thank you for this wonderful experience.

HINE AHI
10 September
Raven-Spirit
Affoltern am Albis, Switzerland
|
Such a beautiful group of Wahine/women had come together and of those many who had joined the Healing Haka mornings at the Pachamama Festival.
We danced a lot and enjoyed learning the Hine Ahi Healing Haka, which was written by my mother in law, Rangi Davis.
From deep of our heart we greeted the Goddesses all around us and also those within us and offered our gifts of gratitude with the water accompanied by the Wai-Ariki song.
I am looking forward to continue sharing this Healing instrument with the existing group and with the wonderful new ones that will join us.

POU UIRA
5-7 August
Le Domaine des Eveils, France
|
|
Last May, my sister Veronique invited my husband and me to the celebration organized for the end of the three-year training she had followed with Waimaania and Ojasvin.
We were impressed by the joy and energy of the "group"; I later found out that the real name was "Whanau": family. This is what we felt: a united, respectful, caring and joyful family was welcoming us to celebrate the end of this three-year cycle. We got to know Waimaania and Ojasvin a little and were touched by their deep authenticity. At the end of the weekend, an inner voice said to me: "Go ahead, experience this; you want to!
So I signed up for the August "Pou Uira" seminar, a little surprised by this instinctive rather than reflective impulse (which is rare for me!).
I arrived a little worried and intimidated, but I was quickly put in confidence by the warmth of Mariel's welcome at the Domaine des Eveils and by the first evening with Waimaania, Ojasvin and the members of our Whànau. I could, with confidence, "throw myself into the water", let go.
It is not easy to describe in words what I experienced during this week because it is above all an experience, a feeling... Despite my 70 years old and the distance I have traveled... I found myself in the situation of a little child. I don't know anything about Maori culture, I didn't understand the languages spoken (Maori, German, and not much English) and in spite of Waimaania's French translations (thanks to her), I was trying to understand what people were saying; I'm not a sportswoman and, finally, I have a very developed left brain because of my scientific training. And yet...I never felt "lost"...
I lived these two days with the wonder and curiosity of a child who has been introduced to the world; a world other than the one she is used to. I listened, sang, danced and shared with a growing joy and energy. I surrendered with delight to the simplicity of a child who is not at all surprised to feel "connected" to what surrounds her. I remember having experienced this feeling of "connection" when I was little, of my joy and confidence then... I was able to find, reactivate, enrich this feeling buried for so long and now as I write this text I can reconnect with it. Thanks to Waimaania and Ojasvin for opening the way to this treasure.
Oddly enough, my left brain and its judgments have gone into complete rest!
Thank you to each and everyone of our whanau of the week and a thousand thanks to Waimaania and Ojasvin for EVERYTHING.

IHO TANE
13 August
Raven-Spirit
|
This day was very focused on learning the Iho Tane Haka. The group of men gathered by Raven Spirit could attain mid way. It's very exciting when men awaken to their essence. Especially when we concentrate together in unity and make the connection to our roots, our ancestors and our dignity. It aligns us again to the noble virtues which brings us back to oneness and peace. |

Uri Marama Toa
August 31- 4 September
Lenzwald Polling, Germany
|
|
This year we were welcomed in the Celtic way by Sonja, Tasilo and the wonderful group co-living the Lenzwald Living Space.
To prepare we had gathered on a parking near a lake in wind and rain and then made our way to the place. We all arrived from far and near, feeling such joy to meet together.
During the seminar we went deep and wide, high and near, while getting nourished by the Uri Marama Toa Healing Haka and the teachings around it.
It is simply mind blowing how amazing this instrument works and how many have experienced the transformational power in many ways.
Gratitude to Renate Brettschneider with her wonderful organisation, to Lenzwald and the lovely inhabitants, to Anja for cooking for us the yummy food and and all those who join to do this work for themselves and the world of light!

Haka Rongo Aio TE PUAWAI Formation week
11-17 July
Drôme, France
|
|
The first meeting of the whole Te Puawai group. We felt what could be created in the next three years. A group/family was build and formed. The energy field gently and benevolently sprayed the presence with which we created this. Unfocused thoughts, personal intentions or even small influences from outside the group were thus directly and immediately noticeable.
Working with the pool was our physical mirror. This has gone from being unkempt with dirt and frogs to a brown broth to a pearl green clear liquid. The 7 days I experienced, which felt like 3 seconds, were finally endless and I was overwhelmed, motivated, enchanted, a little sad and also happy when it was Sunday afternoon.
Te Puawai - we are born. I look forward to our blossom.

IHO TANE
9-11 September
Haut-Jura, France
|
|
It is beautiful when the men come from different parts of Europe to join us in Haut Jura, France.
It’s great to feel the growth happening too, as some of the group are feeling the wairua and the spirit of Iho Tane which makes them keen to go deeper. It’s always great to welcome new men too.
A weekend is great because you can experience it’s depth through the mau rakau the martial stick, the rhythms on the drums, the ceremonies with the nature and the force of the Iho Tane Healing Haka. This can be very challenging for the left brain, until we can laugh at ourselves and let go, drop in the heart and relax together. I love to feel and see how we are all in the kitchen, cooking and sharing food together. This helps to create the warmth and respect for one another. Thanks to Jean-Pierre for his great organization.
