Heart Awakening Silent Retreats - Meditation - Yoga - Ayurveda Therapies - Cacao Ceremonies

www.heartawakening.org Radha is a yogini, meditator and lover of life.

After living immersed in an authentic yoga community for over five years and sitting regular silent meditation retreats of 10 and 17 days, she was able to experience a profound transformation which redirected the whole course of her life. In the years that followed, she deepened further her practice of meditation, mindfulness and Yoga as a way of life and since early 2015 she has been sharing silent retreats, yoga classes and meditation courses internationally. In late 2016 Radha moved to New Zealand which is now her home base yet her offerings are available not only locally (n Hawkes Bay) but also internationally during her travels and anytime online.

📢 New Program Announcement!
New year, new chance to begin or re-establish your commitment to meditation.

As we begin to settle back into a routine over the month of February, let's carve out some space for what truly nourishes, rejuvenates, and inspires - a connection to Self and to Heart.

"The Listening Heart" is a brand new meditation challenge, inspired by timeless mystical poetry and its ability to speak directly to the Heart, bypassing and quitting the mind. It is one of my personal favourite tools to tune into a meditative state.
💠

Practicing with a committed group, an expert guidance & inspiring cues makes this journey unique, accessible and potent.

We will meet daily on Zoom for a 20min practice + a poetry reading from ancient mystics and modern authors alike.
Recordings + daily emails will be sent out so that you can adjust the timing of the sessions to your own unique schedule.

Starting with the full moon on Sunday 1st February at 7pm (only evening session), and continuing at 7am daily for 21 days.

Join us!

A week later, my heart is still overflowing with pure joy after the 1st Aotearoa Kirtan Festival ✨️

The joy of sangha, spiritual community.
The joy of shared practice.
The joy of Bhakti Yoga, the unitive path of devotion.
The joy of music, melody and rhythm, felt in dance and stillness.
The joy of being alive ~ and in Love 🤍

There is so much gratitude to be shared here:
For being able to provide nourishment for body & soul with the medicine of freshly prepared cacao & chai 🍵

For the .aotearoa team for such an amazing organization.

For all the amazing kirtan leaders and beautiful beings that gathered from all around the country, including my two homes, Whanganui & Hawkes Bay, and amazing leaders such as .healingtherapies + everyone else who shared ~ your graceful example of dedication to the practice is so inspiring!

🤍✨️

2025 has been a bit of a ride.
A slow, but certain current of change.
A shedding of skins. Snake year.

We moved towns.
Life became a lot more slow, simple and spacious.
There were new ideas that came to fruition, but also many that did not.
A year that taught me to lean into Trust, and appreciatev the beauty of the simple things so much more than I ever did.
And to see all experiences as nuances of the wise teacher that Life is.

Thank you for coming along for the ride!
I treasure each time I share practice or presence with you 🙏

While the Gregorian calendar year and the date of 1st January have no deeper meaning or any alignment with natural or atrological cycles, it's always helpful to pause and reflect, and use a defined period of time to do this.
May you bid farewell to one such defined period of time with joy in your Heart 🤍

An update from the Cacao shop:
From 1st January 2026 the price of the Keith's cacao blocks will increase from $88 to $98 to meet the international standard ($55 USD)

A bit from behind the scenes: I have been intentionally holding off the increase in price for a year now (yep!) to make it more accessible to you all, and hoping that the NZD will stop losing value and bounce back, and hoping that the prices of cacao internationally will drop back down... but none of this has happened, and I have been asked to comply with the company's expectations that all suppliers charge $ 55 USD.

A sudden increase didn’t feel right, especially in the lead up to Xmas, so I'll give you all a month to warm up to the news.

👉Basically, this is your chance to get your cacao supply at the old price for another month! 👈

P.S. Expect a reveal of Keith's cacao's new branding ~ have you seen it yet?

🍫🤍

(Cacao can be shipped all across Aotearoa + deliveries to Hawkes Bay next week or pick up in Whanganui)

It’s the week of Black Friday, and your feed (like mine) must be filled with “unmissable deals.”
So here are a couple of sunsets I saw last week from me, instead.
Because, no, I'm not doing a BF sale.

Black Friday has never been part of my culture or way of doing things, and I don’t wish to support the push to consume more than we need. Our challenges today don’t arise from not having enough, instead, they stem from an over-saturation of possibilities, information, and advice. So much so, that many of us live in an almost constant state of fatigue, anxiety or overwhelm.

The intention of Heart Awakening really is to be an antidote to that. A place to reconnect with space, with silence, and with your essential Self underneath all the noise.
~

On that note, I’ve just released two on-demand, self-paced meditation courses - potential anchors of calm you can return to during the lead-up to the holidays and throughout your end-of-year rest. You can access them anytime and use them as an entry way into simple & immediate presence.

DM me or comment "courses" below, and I'll send you link to those

What Is Heart Awakening?

“Heart Awakening” is an invitation to journey together towards a more meaningful and happy life, lead by the intuition that Love is our essential nature.

The ancient spiritual traditions have all confirmed that there is a field beyond worries, beyond mind, beyond struggle - and this field is always there, present and accessible for all, and we call it the Heart.

​Blending the ancient knowledge of yoga with the direct experience of meditation, silence and rituals, we can explore the many dimensions of our being, and allow this journey starting and ending in the Heart to bring purification, healing and harmony into our life.

​Heart Awakening aims to reveal our true potential to love and bring sacredness and simplicity to all aspects of life. It is a teaching platform, fully dedicated to the highest benefits of all who participate in the retreats and the events.
