About Cameron Tukapua
Sharing HOW to align the Head and Heart to live a grounded spiritual life
Cameron Tukapua
Cameron is my family name which I claimed when my father passed. It connects me to my farming roots, nature, and reminds me to keep things simple.
Tukapua is my Maori married name. Tu means ‘to stand’ and kapua ‘the clouds’. Living a grounded spiritual life by following ancient wisdom ways is my path and destiny.
Many Indigenous cultures recognise life in 3 worlds; ‘Father Sky’ above - spirit world, ‘Mama Earth’ below - the physical world. The middle world bridges the upper and lower through the Heart. Engaging the Heart is my joy and compass.
Early Life Influences

Professional History
In 1983 I began studying Acupuncture and holistic medicine. In 1993 I lived and taught in a Retreat Centre in Hawaii. In that magical paradise I discovered the healing power of full immersion wellbeing retreats, based on intensive Self care.
1997-2006 my focus was the Christchurch College of Holistic Healing - an Acupuncture training College NZ Qualifications registered. As part of that experience I was immersed in professional development training as a lifelong learner of Dr Angeles Arrien, author of The Four-Fold Way. The framework is based on cross-cultural archetypes.
In 2005 I began travelling to China, co-hosting Yoga, Qigong Wellbeing healing retreats. These teachings are now offered in the online Heartfelt Living pathways. For 3 + decades I’ve led retreats in Hawaii, China, Bali, Australia, New Zealand.

Heartfelt Living
My journey has led me to the Heart as home to our higher Self awareness. As clarity is a big driver for me, over the years I have synthesised my lifetime discoveries into pathways on Heartfelt Living.
Honouring our higher Self awareness helps to align the head and Heart. Coming from the Heart we heal our lives by orienting around what’s important.
Living Heart aligned is a direct route to our inner courage and power. It is also the key to authentic relationships and a doorway to LOVE. Our Heart is our personal compass for living a life of purpose and meaning.
