Heya,
I just got here from Canada, where its warm and springy, so I could experience a little kiwi winter culture for a change. See what life is all about in NZ! Still don't trust myself behind a wheel, but have done some Coromandel hiking and kayaking, and know the Mount and Tauranga like the back of my hand now.
Are there any tribies out here, who are into travel, contact and kundalini tribal dance, drumming circles, cocreating intentional gatherings, or just sharing a pint at the pub?! Looking for my peeps and knew I'd find you here on tribe.
Anyone celebrating the WInter Solstice or want to do something in honour of it? Or July 25th, Mayan day out of time?
Cheers everyone!!

  • I don't know about Tauranga... try homeofpoi there's a spinner on there who might know something...

    We have lots of that sort of thing down here in Wellington... but that's not a lot of help really :-/
    • Cheers Myles, I'll check it out and maybe I'll get down to Welly sometime soon. Anything happening in the next month or so?
      • Winter Soulstice.....

        i know that Massive nz are throwing another winter soulstice party.
        .and if you liked Shambhala you are bound to like this.....
        you can find them @ massivenz.com (i think )

        I know that there are a few krew around the nelson golden Bay area...
        who are into the contact thang
        i did a contact intensive @ lake Rtowheti a few years ago..
        but its been my experience that the contact n extatic dance thing is not that well known in NZ..
        kinda drives me nuts when i come home....
        ThaNk goodness for Circo Arts where i can get all my sillies out .. B4 i head to the back 2 the Koots..

        Will U B around for Shambles this Year ????
        You can find me on the Beach Stage...... Doin up the Visuals
        If you are arround then...Stop By .......... A

          Sweet, thanks, im cheking into the solstice thing, and yeah, im heading home in august, so i'll be at Shambhala this year for sure! I'll definately look for you on the beach. So, are you a kiwi or Canuck? Where's home? Nelson? Where do you do the Circo stuff? Im thinking of starting my own ecstatic dance thing here, and Im wondering who'd be into it. Do you know any dj's in the north island who are into psytrance? I love it here so far. Just went to Gizzy for the long weekend to get my surf on, but im feeling the need to dance big time. Not sure if i can wait for Sham.
          Thanks for the tips, Safire. Have a good one
