Pasifika Movement & Cacao - February 2026
Pasifika Indigenous Movement, connecting to our ancient rhythms while feeling the interconnectedness to nature and cacao
Pasifika Movement & Cacao – A New Year, A Deeper Connection.
February’s heat and moon call us to soften and sweat—burning off what no longer serves, awakening creative fire, and teaching us to move with intensity while staying deeply rooted.
This not as a dance class, but as a ceremonial to self and community through our ancestral movements.
Polynesian dance movements awaken the vā—the sacred relational space between body, spirit, history, and land. Through movement, we realign with our truth, connect to our ancestry, and honour our breath.
This masina atoa (full moon) reminds us to ground our energy while she illuminates what we need to move through.
We invite all women and non-binary kin to join us in an evening of Pasifika Movement & Intentional Cacao.
Come experience:
🤍 Koko reflections on lineage and letting go
🤍 Understanding le masina and its call to nourish the soul
🤍 Te ha – Breathwork to anchor and release
🤍 Collective storytelling through Pasifika dance
Let us move together, recognising our place within a kincentric ecology—a living web of connection—and open ourselves to the cyclical, regenerative rhythms of the moon.
Facilitator:
Lolopō Fipe Preuss – of Vaiusu | Cacao Artisan | Polynesian Dancer
Fipe Preuss is the Samoan founder of Living Koko, where she honours her lineage through ethically crafted cacao. With roots in a family that’s worked with cacao for nearly 200 years, her work is both ritual and resistance.
A lifelong Polynesian dancer, Fipe moves with the stories of her ancestors, blending rhythm and ceremony into every offering. Through cacao and dance, she bridges earth and spirit—nourishing community, culture, and connection with every step and every sip.
