NEW EARTH METTA
A Ceremonial gathering in deep loving connection and rejuvenation of mind, body and spirit with sacred vibrational medicine! Inviting one to use your conscious attention to renew and anchor in new ways of being, replacing old patterns that no longer serve us. As ancient wisdom is remembered, we recognise and ignite the power of sitting together in ceremony to focus our attention, elevate our emotions and call in a New Earth together.
Our bodies are a construct of vibration. Every part of the body has a healthy, signature frequency and when they are all coherently communicating in harmony, this is sound health. Disharmony is dis-ease - a lowering of vibration from its natural, harmonic, resonant state. Constructive interference is when coherent sound waves (energy entrainment) are used during a sound healing to reharmonise and tune up the body back to its harmonious high vibrational nature!

SPIRIT BREATHWORK
As a man of Maori descent, my physical, spiritual, and ancestral connection to Mother Earth exists at a peaceful and arresting place called Ranana, found along the Wanganui River, on New
Zealand’s North Island. As a boy growing up, I struggled to understand the world and what was expected: my heart was quieted and coarsened at an early age.
Today, the underpinning for all that I do is love. It is the bedrock for which I have built my unique and sole Spirit Breathwork practice; weaving and layering world instruments with their
enigmatic and concealed frequencies — there is no other like it.
My Spirit/Wairua Breathwork is a multifaceted weaving of conscious connected breathing with instruments of the world, intrinsically using Native American Flutes, Didgeridoos, Nepalese
singing bowls, Rav drum, guitar, and Taonga Puoro traditional Maori instruments. The looped and layered energy created has undeniable acoustic therapy properties; the result is a sound
theatre like no other you have experienced.
Allowing you, my patron, to achieve an altered state in which you can purge yourself of what doesn’t serve you and connect back to your inner being with intention and affection. I am merely a guide though - a conduit if you will - who can lead those who seek to rediscover themselves, bring forth awareness, and evoke the ever-present intrinsic wisdom within each one of us.

mr. percival
Before looping became a global phenomenon, before Ed Sheeran packed stadiums with nothing but a guitar and a pedalboard, Mr.Percival was already revolutionising live music in Australia.
A true pioneer of vocal looping, Darren Percival gave birth to his alter ego in 2003, at the dawn of a new era in sound technology. With nothing but his voice, a microphone, and an ever-evolving
collection of loop pedals, he created entire symphonies on stage—layering harmonies, bass lines, and rhythms in real time, leaving audiences spellbound.
For over a decade, Mr.Percival was the highlight of Australia’s biggest music festivals, elite corporate events, and intimate live concerts, crafting spontaneous, one-of-a-kind performances that had to be seen to be believed. His ability to turn thin air into music, to weave entire compositions from a single breath, made him a
must-see act—long before the world caught on to the magic of looping.
Now, Mr.Percival is back...
"Looping my voice changed my life. Creating music spontaneously is the most fun I’ve ever had on stage—it shaped me as a singer, and my performances always left audiences both mesmerised and invigorated " Mr.Percival shared on social media this week.
"So I’m thrilled to announce that I am officially ‘Back In The Loop.’"
For those seeking an electrifying, interactive musical experience, there is no one like Mr.Percival. Whether it’s a high-energy corporate event, a jaw-dropping gala performance, or an unforgettable business retreat, his unmatched artistry guarantees an atmosphere of joy, connection, and awe.
The legend has returned. Are you ready to experience Mr.Percival?

Australia's most awarded Cannabis clinician.
Dr. James Stewart, GP but no longer practices "western medicine". He has been working with plants for the last 5 years and focusing more on preventative and lifestyle medicine rather than scripts and pills. Everything about Pranafest resonates with me and my beliefs.
Cannabis can be used in the same way more traditional teacher plants/psychedelics are being used to treat mental health issues. Dr. James Stewart has developed a protocol and some methods to use to allow one to unlock their default mode network of thinking, by engaging with cannabis, thus allowing their subconscious mind to Rome freely. By doing this hidden traumas, memories and emotions can present allowing the person to work through these and potentially start to heal.
