We have been experimenting now for many years in living our Purpose, following a stress free joy filled life, alternatively exploring health options and sharing this experiment with others.

Following the timing of the Mayan Calendar, experimenting with Human Design, using Bioptron Light and healthy lifestyle options are all part of this experiment. We love to share all these in conjunction with "Spirit Heal" our massage therapy technique that can activate healers on their journey to be the Healer that they were born to be.

Access Consciousness - Rocco Wunderle

Access Consciousness - Rocco Wunderle

I have always believed in magic and superhuman abilities, I just had to find out how to use them. So when I was 5 and my mother was diagnosed with cancer I decided to unlock and use my special abilities. I guess she didn't want to put such a burden on my shoulders and she became free of cancer very soon after that. Since then 'spiritual work' has been fun and a playful experimentation.The super ability that we all have is the freedom to choose any superability that we desire.

In the last 30 years, I studied and played a lot with techniques like Mind Control, Reiki, Hermetics, Magical Invocation, Kabbalah, Out-of-body experience, Re-birthing, Family Constellations, German New Medicine, Recall Healing and more... Then a friend shared about Access Consciousness and that they only use open questions to change everything (of course it was much more than that but it was enough for me). So I started using the questions and my whole life become easier and I started to have more fun. After that, I had my 'Bars' run for the first time and it was like a miracle and I became a walking talking meditation for 2 weeks. Since then I choose more and more. A whole new world has opened up for me...

To me, experimenting means creating more of what wasn't there before with the element of fun and joy. Now, I am looking for the next fun and I am so excited because Access is a gigantic playground! So, do you want to play with me?

Together with my wife Csilla, we have founded the European Healing Centre based in Ellerslie, Auckland where we have even more fun and you can find out more about at our website www.europeanhealingcentre.com or on our Facebook page by the same name. Also, we have created an open Facebook group called Access Consciousness® - If You Dare (NZ).

Specialty classes of Rocco and Csilla: Your Acoustical Body - body has amazing capacities, but we bought into many lies and limitations about it. The enlightened masters knew the secret and were able to transform the physical body into a 'light body'. -Key topics of the 2.5 day class: miraculous healings, indefinite living, communicating with the molecules (theory, exercises and practice).

100% Committed - Being committed is the capacity to create the life you desire. Have you ever wondered, why you cannot bring your dreams into fruition? Why does it take so much effort? Or why do you stop at the edge of success? and why do you escape through the backdoor? Are you truly committed to yourself, your awareness and your knowing? We invite you to STEP UP and be the Unstoppable Creator that You truly BE!

Breaking out of the prison of Abuse - Any situation can be abusive, if it holds you back from being you. It affects the way you act and see yourself - in your relationships and at work. It limits your capacity to have ease and fun and to create the life you desire. Are you ready to live a life with no effect of abuse? Is it time to let both you and your body rejoice again? What else is possible?

Stand in your Soul Power- Bascha Meier

Stand in your Soul Power - Come home to your Authentic self in LOVE via Heart Empowerment Code transmissions & NEW Family Constellations

Come home to your authentic self and stand in your own power for new paradigm living in 2018.

This is a potent experiential workshop introducing Family Constellations. Constellations support individuals, couples and groups with real-world problems and conflicts to gain awareness of the forces that divide and attune to the natural world & desire for human life to thrive in the flow of love.

Whatever personal or work issues we are faced with, the Field reveals the hidden dynamics and familial ancestral loyalties we have that often hold us back from authentic success, joy and wellness in all areas of our life.

The crystalline singing chalice Bascha uses creates a high frequency Field Resonance that aligns to your sacred soul frequencies. This transformative passage of bringing to light imprints on the 3rd dimension and opens the portal to the Field of Universal Love in higher dimensions.

Join Bascha for an embodied experience of constellations and heart empowerment code. Learn about the ‘Orders of Love’, Epigenetics, and Heart Intelligence.

As a Visionary, Wisdom Keeper, and Transformation Catalyst, Bascha has a unique gift to ‘see’ what’s missing or what’s needed for individuals and the group ‘fields’ they move in. She facilitates with great love and integrity, diving deep into the multi-dimensional realms of the Morphogenic Energy Field to bring invisible ancestral entanglements to light, allowing for re-alignment of the matrix.

Her focus at this time is also to assist those transitioning to the New Earth energies, re-membering and re-calibrating to who they authentically are as consciousness expands. As a light language Activator/Channel she brings through the code transmissions and activations to support these shifts. Her latest passion is sounding using the Quartz Crystal and Gold Empowerment Chalice for higher heart chakra alignments and quantum healing.

Bascha, (NZ born) has spent 25 years Internationally facilitating Family Constellation Work, training directly with Bert Hellinger (Germany), and travelling alongside him as his interpreter for 12 years. She places great value also on rich life experiences and intuitive wisdom, spending quality time with Indigeneous Elders and Leaders in Higher Consciousness. As an Energy Medicine Woman, she is often called to the land and to the people where alchemic shifts and healing are needed. Bascha weaves in sound healing, music and somatic experiencing - Breath, Sound and Movement for self healing processes.

Bascha offers exclusive private sessions, and mentoring, for business and personal issues, that are in the form of channellings and mediumship coupled with years of solid grounded success as a property investor and suitcase entrepreneur.

Harp meditation - - Annemeike Harmony

Harp meditation. Be uplifted and rejuvenated, with live attuned harp music and a deep guided meditation. Let go, it is easy...journey within- Annemeike Harmony

Annemieke Harmonie (Bachelor of Education, Dip of Teaching, Dip of Shiatsu) was born and raised in Holland. She has learnt the harp since she was nine. From a young age she was asked to perform for people in rest homes, churches, in restaurants, schools etc. She graduated as a primary school teacher and then traveled the world with her backpack and her Celtic Harp. She visited many different cultures and was inspired by their customs and arts and music. It was a time full of learning, sharing and adventure. She performed world wide in castles, palaces, monasteries, museums, at wineries, on beach weddings, funerals, in churches, at festivals, for prime ministers, and recently for the governor general of NZ. In 2010 Annemieke and her three children moved to Nelson, after traveling through New Zealand to find a good place to live and a bit warmer then Dunedin where they lived for 11 years.... They were warmly welcomed in Nelson, the markets enjoy the harp sounds of their busking, and many people came out of the wood works with either home made harps, or dreams of wanting to learn to play the harp since child hood. The harp school has now grown to 25 members, and 7 of them are in the orchestra. The age group she teaches is very wide and 100 years old is not too old! This is a reflection of Annemieke's Evolve workshop in 2016; Here I am preparing for our harp meditations, after a most powerful Saturday afternoon at Evolve in the Chapel, with around 75 people attending the meditation. The rain came pounding down on the roof in the middle of it, adding to the already very strong energy...the power of a group energy lifting their frequency is tremendous... and a reminder for me that I want to continue to offer these meditations as a divine space and supportive community for all, to help speed up the process of the full integration of Light in our physical bodies.

Group Channeling Session Workshop- Sue Thompson

Group Channeling Session Workshop- Sue Thompson

“It's not the path, but the light you shine on the path that matters.” The Many..and many fascinating paths have led me here!

I was introduced to Ken Keye’s – Handbook to Higher Consciousness in my early 20’s and the journey began. I spent the next 20 years raising kids and living as conscious a life as possible. Owning and operating several businesses and travelling the highs and lows of life. However my habitual behavioural patterns reigned supreme, and although I thought I was fairly happy, my life was frenetic, stressful and unfulfilling. The carrot of something better, more success, love or approval was ever present. Then I discovered Systemic Constellation work, and I had my first experience of energy beyond my own. The world opened up for me from that moment. I suddenly had a tool to explore all my relationships; with myself, money, my children, husband, work and my life’s direction. Life expanded further with the introduction of the teachings of Conscious Awareness and Awakening through Gangaji and Eli Jaxon-Bear. Thus connecting the dots between the intuitive field accessed during the Constellation process and my connection to broader Consciousness as Self, a Heart-Centred being. The next leap forward was that of direct connection to Universal Consciousness as a Channel for the Angelic Realm, Ascended Masters and the Infinite Field of Intelligence that is The Univers. The deep peace, love and happiness that infuse my life as a result of this expansion are beyond words, and still, the unfolding continues...

Nia Dance- Explore movement, listen to your body- Penny Adams & Bex Deva

Nia Dance- Explore movement, listen to your body- Penny Adams ,Corinne McBride

Penny Adams-I grew up in a large family in the beautiful city of Nelson, New Zealand. When I was born, the lower part of my left leg had not developed correctly. By 10 months old I was wearing an artificial leg. It instantly became part of my life. Putting on my leg became as natural to me as putting on a pair of shoes. I didn’t think too much about my leg as a child. I just got on with an active outdoor lifestyle. It didn’t occur to my family, my friends, or me that there was anything I couldn’t do. I have always participated in all types of sports, from competitive trampoline to squash. I later found Nia & through the gentle movements, listening to my body and tweaking, I found my passion in life and haven’t looked back. It continues to surprise and delight me that I can dance for hours and have no ill effects on my leg. To be honest, I don’t quite understand why, but it is fantastic!!

Corinne McBride Corinne McBride discovered NIA at a workshop at Evolve and won a DVD that she occasionally put on, on rainy days and fell in love with NIA and trained. She did her White belt in Christchurch, Blue Belt in Auckland and green belt on Sunshine coast and is currently teaching in Blenheim.

Marine animals & the awful issues with ocean plastics- Libby Bowles

Fantastic facts about marine animals, the awful issues with ocean plastics and solutions to the single use plastic pandemic- Libby Bowles

Libby is a passionate marine conservationist and primary school teacher. She has spent 6 years working in marine conservation, clocking up hundreds of hours underwater studying some of the most enigmatic and endagered animals in the oceans. She was moved to action when confronted first hand with the haunting, brutal effects of plastic pollution in the sea.

As a primary school teacher she has always filled pupils with the belief that they have enormous power to change and improve things they don't like in the world. So when one of her pupils challenged her one day, asking why she wasn't doing more to help the ocean, Libby started planning... Her pupils helped brainstorm sustainable transport ideas and designs and 6 months later, Libby set off around the world on her homemade bamboo bicycle to cycle to give school talks on ocean plastics and organising community beach cleans.

Sweat Lodge - A Native American inspired lodge nestled by the lake

Inki Tāne is a well-traveled soul who has lived with indigenous peoples and apprenticed with local healers throughout the world: India, Thailand, Polynesia (including New Zealand), the United States, Ecuador, Peru and Gabon. Each culture experienced has provided him with a unique, yet universal perspective of the natural world. He has studied Indigenous Development at the University of Otago in the deep south of New Zealand. His fascination began before he was offered his first pint (of beer) at the serendipitous age of 21. Wanting to know what would happen to his body should he imbibe the once sacred beverage, his subsequent research led him to molecular structures, traditional uses, medicinal applications, etcetera. The allure of the power of plants, coupled with the fact that his best, childhood mate is from the first nation people, Dine (Navajo), and his subsequent research into native cultures led him to study ethnobotany. This provided a suitable framework by which his two passions could meet and exchange ideas. One thing led to another and he began to travel the world, specifically by visiting and living with various indigenous peoples in efforts to further his research into the relationships of people and plants.

Vinyassa Flow Yoga- Chai Deva

Chaitanya vividly remembers the first full moon of 1995, he was mid-way through a six-month pilgrimage in Poona, India. Chai was already dedicated to a daily practice, meditating up to 10 hours a day, but it wasn’t until that night, as the moonlight dripped through the banyan trees, that something switched inside and life was never the same again. Pilgrimages to India from the UK continued for the next six years, this included driving from India to the UK. In 2000, he moved back to New Zealand to help his father and teacher to set up the Maitreya Meditation Centre in the Marlborough Sounds. His initial experience of physical yoga was one of the most painful experiences of his life due to an extremely tight and stiff body, by no means did he have an instant falling in love with yoga experience. That was until he discovered Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, he loved the combination of strength work which he was naturally good at with his martial arts background and the challenge of stretching. In 2001 he moved back to Auckland where he worked as a Reiki Master while he completed a Diploma in Therapeutic Massage. He then went on to set up three Massage clinics in Christchurch 2003-06, before moving back to the Maitreya Meditation Centre as the co-manager with his wife Bex. They later moved to Nelson where they also run the annual Evolve Festival. Chai undertook a 200hr yoga teacher training at Hot Yoga Nelson in 2008. He completed an additional 300 hours of teacher training at Purna Yoga Byron Bay in 2015 as well as various shorter specialist courses and has founded Evolve Yoga teacher Training in Nelson. Chaitanya is a specialist guest teacher on a number of Yoga Teacher Trainings around NZ. He specialises in applied anatomy (the anatomy of movement), where the thousands of hours of yoga teaching and study, alongside the 16+ years as a therapeutic/sports massage therapist, has built a broad and experiential knowledge base, which Chai loves to share. The main styles he teaches are Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Hatha and Meditation.

Love or Fear: Expressive Workshop -Lis Martinac

Love or Fear: Expressive Workshop -Lis Martinac

....In every moment we have a choice - to come from a place of love, or fear. Sharing circle.

These workshops are suitable for everyone. We begin and end each workshop with a heart opening blend of powerful tools including singing mantra, guided relaxation & breath awareness. These are all expressions of self-love, and healing medicine for the heart. While sharing my self-love journey, I will share the many techniques that we can use in a daily practice to inspire transformation. This will include some self-loving exercises and some thought provoking discussions. It is my intention that everyone will take from this the tools needed to fall deeply in love with themselves.

Following the workshop, each person will be emailed a detailed list of self-loving practices and notes from the workshop to inspire and guide self-loving practices that can be done at home.

They will discuss and illustrate practices of transforming wellbeing through nutrient dense food, Physical and spiritual practice, genealogy, connection and relationship both as individuals and as whanau members.

Jana Grossmannova Yoga teacher, Herbal practitioner, Health coach and Raw food chef. Living a healthy lifestyle has always been important to me, which I believe means having a foundation of eating for nutrition and overall wellbeing. For the last eight years, I have chosen to eat a high-raw, plant-based diet, this has been life changing in many ways but most of all I've had so much fun developing new creative Raw Recipes.

I took on the Raw Food lifestyle when I was sick and tired of always being, 'sick and tired!' Reading the book "Green Smoothie Revolution: The Radical Leap Towards Natural Health" by Victoria Boutenko (http://www.rawfamily.com/), was a turning point for me and the beginning of my journey into the Raw Food world. I started by having 2-3 green smoothies a day and after a few weeks I had so much energy and zest for life that I knew my path was to share my journey with others.

I have completed a diploma in Medicinal Herbs and Nutrition and have spent countless hours studying and honing my own recipes and medicines that compliment the lifestyle I choose to live and help in the healing journeys of others. For me personally, healing through food has been transformational in more than just a physical sense. It has also just as importantly been a spiritual journey of forgiveness, re connection and presence.

I am a grateful for each and every moment in this wondrous journey of life.
