Heart as Bridge
Tukapua - the 3 Worlds
Cameron is my original family name which I claimed when my father passed, it connects me to my farming background and ways of land based people. Carrying this name reminds me to have fun, keep it simple, and stay close to nature.
Tukapua is my Maori married name. Tu is ‘to stand’ and kapua ‘the clouds’. When we met I was studying ways of being common to Indigenous people. It was a destiny.
Many Indigenous cultures refer to the 3 worlds, ‘Father Sky’ above, ‘Mama Earth’ below, and the middle, Human world. The bridge between these worlds is the Heart - the connector
Early Life Shapers
Shift how we see the world - our lives transform.
From Day 1 of Chinese medicine study I discovered how I belong to a living system of energy that is always seeking balance. I could immediately understand my early life story.
My healing journey introduced higher levels of seeing and being. Following my Souls yearnings, I’ve learned to listen to my Heart and steer my mind. I call this Heartfelt Living
Showing up Heart awake and aware is my guide. It helps me sense what’s happening around me and choose how to engage. Staying grounded in my body and practice is key.
Relationships
Relationships engage the Heart and reveal what is important to us. Learning in relationship is healing as a way of being.
Practice & Teaching
In 1985 I began my practice of Acupuncture which I love and enjoy to this day. In 1993 I taught Chinese medical philosophy for a year in a Retreat Centre in Hawaii. In that magical fiery paradise my Heart was opened to the JOY of healing in group
1999 -2006 I was Owner-Director of the Christchurch College of Holistic Healing - an Acupuncture practitioner training College, approved by New Zealand Qualifications Authority. During these years I began travelling to China hosting Yoga and Qigong retreats, sharing Ancient Wisdom teachings
For over 2 decades I’ve co-led Yoga and Qigong retreats in nature settings China, Bali, Australia, New Zealand. I LOVE sharing teachings on true nature, and how to access this through Heartfelt connecting = Heartfelt Healing.
