About

Professional History

In 1985 I started practicing Acupuncture which I LOVE as a medicine - it nourishes the energy which connects us to living every thin g. 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 and potency of healing in groups.

Following my Soul’s call to teach, 1997-2006 I started the Christchurch College of Holistic Healing - an Acupuncture training College registered with NZ Qualifications Authority. During this period I did a lot Professional Development training including studies on archetypes. I am a lifelong learner of the teachings of Angeles Arrien - cross-cultural anthropologist, creator of The Four- Fold Way

In 2005 I began travelling to China. Hosted by Soul friends we offered Yoga and Qigong retreats in nature exploring our spiritual Self-identity. For 3 decades I’ve co-led retreats in Hawaii, China, Bali, Australia, New Zealand, nurturing Spiritual life for whanau whanui - the wide world family.

Healing in Relationships

Connecting Heart to Heart helps reveal what is meaningful in life. Our relationships show us how we shifting, transforming and growing.

Heartfelt Healing

From Day 1 of Acupuncture study, I discovered we are all parts of a living energy system which is always seeking balance. In this tradition, the Heart is the Supreme Controller of our life. Intuitively I knew this was true.

In 1984 I began chanting and meditating which ignited my Heart and helped me feel happier, light and freer. I began to trust myself and the idea of higher awareness .

Showing up with an open Heart opens the doorway to higher awareness. Guided by our higher seeing we can ground our hopes and dreams of our Soul into practical steps and actions. I call this as ‘Heartfelt Living - healing as a way of being’

Early Life Shapers

Cameron Tukapua

Cameron is my original family name which I claimed when my father passed. It connects me to my farming background, nature, and ways of land based people, ‘keep things simple’

Tukapua is my Maori married name. Tu means ‘to stand’ and kapua ‘the clouds’. My calling has been exploring how to live a grounded spiritual life. Guiding others with their Spiritual Life identity is both my destiny, a JOY and a privilege.

Many Indigenous cultures refer to life in 3 worlds; ‘Father Sky’ above - the spirit, ‘Mama Earth’ below - the body. The middle relates to the Heart - humanities communal home. The Heart is our Doorway to Love and Divine Awareness - the ultimate treasures of a fully awake - aware human.
