Echoes of the womb ~ 27th September 2026 Echoes o Echoes of the womb ~ 27th September 2026

Echoes of the Womb is a 1-day women's circle with Tania Edmond-Tairea & Shiree Walker which emerged from a deep recognition that many women are longing to reconnect with themselves.

As woman, we move through many seasons of life. We carry stories within us-stories of love and loss, joy and sorrow, birth and endings, resilience and transformation. Along the way, we often

become disconnected from our own needs, our bodies, our intuition and wisdom that resides within.

This day is a gentle invitation to pause in the journey back to self with a focus on peri-menopause & menopause

There's a shift happening energetically inside of There's a shift happening energetically inside of me & that I'm also witnessing happening in & others & the world as well. I have been both holding back on voicing what is most alive in me... as I don't yet have all the answers.

What I have noticed is that the beautiful community of Ako Torowhānui that I have had the deep pleasure of founding, stewarding, teaching within, witnessing others & having the deep honour of seeing others learn, grow & shift into their own practices needs to adjust it's pillars outside of my Mauri ~ life force and nervous system.

Once I have energetic realisations, I often speak freely, and I can hear some of these shifts already emerging in podcasts, training spaces and the like. I do not yet have every part of the transition mapped out, but I wanted to share what I do know.

Over the last few years, life has been asking me to go slower than when I first began teaching. A recent deep dive has revealed that, as much as I looooooveeee teaching and still want to share this mātauranga, the pieces around it ~ the administration, holding the overall structure, tracking pathways and supporting people towards 400 hours ~ are beginning to extend my nervous system beyond what feels aligned at this time in my life.

Over time, I have witnessed others navigate this transition time in their teaching in different ways, handing over to others, dropping back completely and/or pushing through. I have been dabbling with these possibilities, yet none of them fully resonate for me or feel clear and fair for us as a group.

I'm choosing to step back & listen deeply to what wants to emerge and also to share with the universe that I would love to teach without being the "organiser" or "administrator"

I also sense, I want to speak on this shift that I am witnessing as one who has the deep pleasure of hearing some of the true pains & joys of this world. There are many narratives emerging & I always value what's alive on this journey of evolution

Stepping in to find ourselves is honourable, for m Stepping in to find ourselves is honourable, for me, there's no right or wrong ~ There's just what emerges from us & our own knowing about what is true.

Yet others are here to maintain & share ancient practices, all has a place.
I have been reflecting on the changes this puppy b I have been reflecting on the changes this puppy bear has brought into my life, they have been subtle & huge. 

I had a moment this afternoon walking tired through the rain of joy & laughter at watching Luma discover rain...

Her joy of leaving the house in the pooouuurrring rain after i've been out working during the day & also the pride in myself with sticking to what I committed to do, rain or shine... 2 walks a day if possible. 

Luma's presence in my life has had an unexpected impact of re-prioritising how I spend my time. 

Previously, most of my energy went willingly to clients, so I often may not have made the effort to fit a walk in a half hour spot between clients. Or I may have given my time to admin. 

Luma's arrival has most definitely changed the shape of my priorities & highlighted some ways of organising my time & practice that need to change. 

This recent realisation of my desire to re-simplify my practice freaked me out a lot, but now I'm seeing, even pre-Luma I was trying to solve, outsource or add work-arounds to some things thay may have run their course...

Time will tell where it all shakes out, yet simpler, calmer & a slower pace is calling me 💟
Released on the @flourishhealpractice podcast toda Released on the @flourishhealpractice podcast today, an episode close to my heart with @thealisonarmstrong ~ where we talk about the importance of men being allowed to transition from being our provider to their home body.

When & if men can complete their rituals, they'll transition faster & be able to be the loving nourishing space we are craving as a whole. Often as women we can unknowingly interrupt the rituals and throw them off,

Wahine, women & Tāne, men ~ I would love to hear how this one landed for you! x
I recently had a really interesting conversation w I recently had a really interesting conversation with Paul van der Mey on the Forrest.Chat podcast ~ Paul chats with Western Australians about their individual endeavour across our beautiful state.

Here's a soundbite about our conversation

The full episode explores the path that has shaped my work as a counsellor, Māori healing practitioner, and facilitator ~ it's always an honour to share & reflect.  We talk about following what feels deeply true, the lessons that come through challenge, the importance of listening to our inner knowing, and how healing often begins by creating space to truly see ourselves.

In this time of change personally, it's quite cool to have a record of this moment

🎧 The episode is released on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.

In the meantime, Paul encourages you to subscribe to the Forrest.Chat email list to be notified when it goes live x
