Pasifika Movement & Cacao - Newcastle - February 2026

Pasifika Indigenous Movement, story telling through motion and connection with koko (cacao) from our homelands.

Pasifika Movement & Cacao – Nobby's Beach Newcastle

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.

These events are fundraisers to support our community as we rebuild and replant following the plantation fires of 2025.
