I begin a new intake of Into the World in February. It’s a course in nature connection, shamanism and mysticism, a deep delve into the matrix of who we are. In thinking about writing up this newsletter I was drawn in our library to Walt Whitman’s (American poet/essayist 1819-1892) Song of Myself
I believe in you my soul, the other I am must not abase itself to you,
And you must not be abased to the other.
Loafe with me on the grass, loose the stop from your throat,
Not words, not music or rhyme I want, not custom or lecture, not even the best,
Only the lull I like, the hum of your valvèd voice.
The Song of Myself is a lyrical ode expressing the contradictions and complexities of our multitudinous self and the beauty of embracing our multifaceted nature. What a poem to fall into as I write about this course that I have been developing for many years and now I feel the hum of it – the excitement of opening this door of working together through shamanic journeying, sharing in the anchoring experience of the medicine wheel. An inner exploration, paying attention to the deep nuances within. To observe and connect, to create dialogue with the essence that resides in all things. To integrate the mystic with the ordinary, an alchemy of our walk within earth.
And so it is that I lead once more this course starting with an insight into our inner power, the power animal, the medicine wheel and shamanic journeying. Every course I teach is unique because although I have built a structure of learning, it subtly shifts and changes for we are all working together to uncover our gifts, our patterns, our stories, our ancestry, our places. There is a melding of learning and growing our inner life and allowing for the paradox of our fragility and strength.

We are pleased to bring forward a small series of workshops that feature the w**d remedies.
In making the w**d remedies I find their ubiquitous qualities somehow reflect and put into perspective ourselves within our lives – they keep us humble. They find us through our personalities - I like to think of these little earthy remedies as our foundation remedies. I can use them, knowing they will safely support children and sensitive people in just the right way.
These 6 workshops will be held on Waiheke Island in October and November, the last date is to be confirmed as it will be held in the garden -Leila.

🦗Cricket – Pihareinga
Essence of Courage, Movement & Transformation
Meet the gentle power of Cricket – a Lasavia Healing essence that supports us in stepping forward when we feel stuck, constrained, or overwhelmed. Cricket reminds us of the courage it takes to act, to explore, and to move beyond the invisible boundaries shaped by past experience and old stories.
This essence is especially supportive when navigating anxiety in social spaces – where old dynamics and patterns may rise. Cricket gently helps us release the weight of past ostracization and reclaims the soul’s place within community. It encourages presence, participation, and the ability to feel supported, even when our history has told us otherwise.
🦗 Cricket also speaks to times of chaos, when your actions feel futile or you’re absorbing the urgency around you – especially in busy work environments. It can bring clarity, grounding, and a renewed sense of direction. Try taking it for a few days and notice how it shifts your ability to respond with calm and strength.
Like the cricket’s song in the night, this remedy illuminates what’s hidden – bringing the unconscious into light, offering insight, and guiding us to see the good and useful in even the most difficult of experiences. Cricket helps us to transmute the past and walk forward with courage.
Cricket essence is part of the Lasavia Healing range of vibrational plant and animal essences, created to support deep soul work and transformation. https://lasaviahealing.nz/shop/cricket/
