Pasifika Movement & Cacao - January 2026

Pasifika Indigenous Movement, connecting to our ancient rhythms while feeling the interconnectedness to nature...and then some cacao

Pasifika Movement & Cacao – A New Year, A Deeper Connection.

January asks us to arrive with our whole bodies, honestly reflecting on where we are at and moving together to let go 2025.

This not as a dance class, but as a ceremonial to self and community through our ancestral movements.

Polynesian dance movements awaken the va—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 waning moon reminds us to ground our energy, reflect on our gafa (genealogy) and malaga (journey), and hold ourselves with gentle discipline and ancestral grace.

We invite all women and non-binary kin to join us in an evening of Pasifika Movement & Intentional Cacao, where Indigenous rhythms meet moon wisdom.

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.
