SomaWaiRua
Two rivers flow through the body
from earth to heaven - from heaven to earth
when the body is balanced, the waters flow free
Soma and Spirit entwine
Ignited by the golden light of the sun
Bathed in the silver threads of the moon
Dark Feminine and Sacred Masculine meld
heaven and earth become one
SOMAWAIRUA is body and spirit entwined
Tia is a trained Somatic Dance teacher, an avid 5 rhythms dancer, a rongoa practitioner, a lover of movement and a passionate advocate for embodiment.
She is an alchemist who weaves spirit (wairua) and bodies (tinana) with potent soundscapes, bringing her participants deeply into their bodies to awaken, dismantle and integrate many facets and threads of self.
She has worked for many years with nature and its cycles for health and wellness...and now she brings awareness to OUR BODIES as the most potent tool for healing and transformation.
This is mirimiri (body work) on a deep level.
Tia has a unique set of life experiences which means she has the capacity to hold safe, grounded, and wise containers.
Tia guides you to navigate your inner landscape, through clear connection to her tupuna (ancestors), connection to nature, connection to source and a potent ability to sense energetic shifts, frequencies and knowing of what is arising for the participants.
Using karakia, linking you to te taiao (our natural world), te whare tapa wha - the four walls (mind--hinengaro, body-tinana, spirit-wairua family/relationships--whanau) she creates a safe space for you to thrive within.
With the embodied and intuitive guidance that she receives, she is able to create a space where people are able to access their own healing and transformations.
Tia's group classes, one on one sessions and retreats are a transformational journey, taking you to the depths of your body/soma/tinana and into a place where powerful medicine is stored for your own re-calibration, balance and becoming.
Tia has always danced through life, using music and sound to evoke emotions and to process all of lifes waves and fluctuations, she was using dance/movement and the body as medicine long before it was called a thing.
Tia is thoroughly interwoven with the natural world and this comes through in all of her work from her energetic rongoa, physical rongoa, mirimiri and all the other ways that she holds space for you to hear, feel and experience yourself as nature, as your full natural well self.
Eco-somatics is a passion for Tia, when her participants are able to experience themselves AS the awa/river, AS the maunga/mountains, AS the moana/ocean, AS the ngahere/forest, .... this is where we find the true power to reshape and heal ourselves.
For more info on all the forms and ways that Tia;s rongoa expresses in the world please browse this website.
When Tia found 5 rhythms everything made sense to her "ahhhh this is what i've been doing my whole life!!!!" and she hasnt looked back since.
Dance and teaching her rongoa has taken her to many places, within herself and around NZ, and Australia.
She has completed 200 hours Somatic Dance teacher training with Sarsha Hope and DJ Stephen Blase, qualified in both level 1 and level 2 teacher training.
Tia has been teacher assistant to Sarsha Hope and DJ blase during Level 1 - Somatic Dance Teacher Training in NZ - 2024
She is part of a partnership of trained Somatic Dance teachers in Kerikeri, NZ. They hold dance in waipapa kerikeri, taking turns facilitating, bringing their own unique gifts to the dance floor.
Tia runs somatic dance classes in the far north Mangonui.
As well as seasonal events for women to gather and dive deeper into the stories, patterns, beliefs and programs that we hold, workshopping and then dancing, these beautiful gatherings are outside, with nature, fire, river, earth, air.
Keep an eye on the somatic dance events page for dates and details
Tia brings her dance spaces to Aotearoa's iconic festival scene, including Conscious Dance Aotearoa, NZspirit festival, joyfest....
keep an eye out for an upcoming
Eco-Somatic Retreat for women,
Trainings in the energetics of safe space creation.
Womens Somatic deep-dive into the lesser welcomed emotions of rage, shame, humilation, sensuality and more
Tia also holds space as requested including red tent, trees sisters drumming circles, womens groups, goddess gatherings, freedom dances and other spaces calling for true activation into our fullest expressions.
Tia is constantly evolving her skill set and incorporating her many threads of magic into her offerings

WHAT IS SOMATIC DANCE?
Somatic dance is a free- form dance expression.
There are no choreographed moves and no way you "should" move.
It is literally about letting your body move how your body wants and needs to move.
no set criteria or steps.....
Each dance has a specifically curated playlist, created to evoke feelings and emotions in the body/soma associated with the point of focus for the dance.
The playlist will move through multiple rhythms, starting out gently, building to a peak and then rolling back down to stillness.
The musical wave activates a release in the body which if you allow and follow it, can bring tremendous healing, relief, balance and wellness.
The somatic dance teacher will guide the dancers into a specific part of the body... so that the dancer is IN their body - EMBODIMENT.
The embodiment will correlate to the soundscape - generating layers of movement... all the dancer has to do... is let the body lead.
Somatic therapy and emerging evidence shows that the body knows what it is doing and in the right circumstances it will spontaneously heal.
Somatic dance is a beautiful, enlivening, connected and safely contained way to be with other humans on the dance floor, becoming our most expansive selves.
The rules for the somatic dance floor are simple :
cell phones off, it is a sober dance floor, no conversations on the dance floor, but sound and other expressions of self are all welcome, and no shoes,
Respect others space and boundaries and own your own ....
let loose, be free....
TRUST YOUR BODY, IT HAS THE WISDOM YOU SEEK.
