Essence Festival has ended
 WELCOME TO ESSENCE! 

We are so excited to be on this journey with you! Essence is an online portal, a virtual experience through the realms of magic, shamanism, and ritual. This is a place to learn about magic and mysticism, to taste the many avenues and modalities of spirituality and connection. In this space, we invite you to weave, to mingle, to share with an open heart, bring your gifts and be part of this global co-creation.

We bring to you a collective of modern witches, wizards, mystics, shamans, teachers and healers. Each have their own alchemical gift and medicine to bring to our planet. We encourage you to use your intuition and move towards those you feel drawn to or to those where you feel resistance. Explore this online bazaar with an open heart and trust in the journey. This is the place to find the path that resonates most with you!


Together we activate the planetary grid and move towards our evolution as humans and as a civilisation….

Purakau- Know Your Roots

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!



I am of Maori descent and we have Purakau which translates to myths, legends, stories. I believe in order for us all to understand ourselves we must take the time to look back. Our (Maori) people passed down Purakau through storytelling and songs like many Indigenous cultures and its these stories that keep us grounded and connected to our Whakapapa (ancestry/lineage). Open the space with Karakia (traditional Maori incantation) and a mihi (traditional Maori welcome) to acknowledge those who have passed, those who are present, papatuanuku (mother earth) and our Atua (God/universe/space/higher being/power) I will speak to: -Our relationship with our Tupuna (ancestors) and how we relate to them -Our relationship to sound through waiata (song) pao (chant) which is how many of our stories are passed on -Ways in which we can navigate finding these stories if these stories are unavailable -How these stories can support our own unique blueprint Q&A Guided meditation to support participants to feel into their own Purakau (regardless of where they are from) I will sing a waita (song) and end with Karakia which is traditional to closing a space in my culture. As a Maori woman I understand that our language/stories/ancestral markings are in the process of being reclaimed and I feel privileged to have had a deep understanding of where I am from and who I am made up from and I feel this is a gift we can all give to ourselves.
