Aotearoa
The Land of the Long White Cloud
Spiritual Journey to New Zealand
March 2008
Similar to my experience to Bali when I first stepped off the plane onto the land of New Zealand I felt home. New Zealand captured my heart then and it continues to grow stronger year after year. I am sure that my soul long remembers the beauty and harmony that existed on our planet thousands of years ago in this region that was once part of the Mother land known as Mu and the time of the great civilization of Lemuria.
Here in New Zealand one can experience every possible terrain and climate. From the beautiful tropical beaches of the northern tip of the North island to the mysterious caves of Waitomo. The black river winds its way through these mysterious caves and the canopy seems to be filled with millions of stars similar to the midnight skies of New Zealand. The ceiling becomes alive with millions of tiny brilliant lights in the underground black river passageway where one experiences a rebirth as though floating down a birth canal. The geo thermal activity of Rotorua, the majestic forest which is home to the oldest and grandest of the Kauri trees dating over 2000 years old. Continuing to the South island one will find brilliant ice mountains and glaciers, magnificent fjords and faery like villages. Home to the largest population of whales and dolphins along the east coast. This country seems to transform every mile you travel and that doesn’t even begin to describe what you experience when you tap into the unseen world that lives just beneath the long white cloud.
Years of experience and magical moments on this beautiful jewel of the Pacific have allowed me to find the most treasured and sacred places to share with you. We will experience a magical dinner sailing through one of the most beautiful harbors in the world; experience a hike in the forests to the majestic guardians known as the standing tall ones. A boat cruise through the waters off the coast of Kaikoura to commune with the dolphins and whales. Weather permitting there is nothing more life changing than swimming in the wild ocean with these magnificent creatures. To feel the sonar of the dolphins song move through your body restores instantaneous balance. helicopter ride to the top of Mount Cook to join heaven and earth. Many cultures believe that the holiest and most profoundly spiritual experience exists when one stands on top of a mountain, the living connection that joins the world of humans to the world of the Gods. The most sacred and holiest gathering places to the Maori is the Temple of the Four Winds and we will have a special ceremony in this Temple of Light believed to be a doorway to the stars as this temple was built in perfect alignment with the Southern Cross. Experience cruising the mysterious fjords of the Southern tip of New Zealand for an encounter beyond words. New Zealand is place that rejuvenates the mind, body and spirit. A land that seems to stand still in time and allows the spirit to be at rest.
