September 23, 2025 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

by Kara-Leah Grant, (I wrote this in 2019, and only just published it, 2025) This article has been a long time coming. Given that Canada has just legalised cannabis, and New Zealand is finally having a referendum on legalising it in 2020, it feels like now is the time. The danger in writing about the …

September 9, 2025 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

In the wake of recurring dreams about an old boyfriend, I resolved to write my way into whatever my psyche was attempting to reveal or integrate.

24 Hour Kirtan with the Hare Krishnas and the Unexpected Benefits

March 22, 2022 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

It was an irresistible invitation. Would I like to come to a 24 hour Kirtan with the Hare Krishnas who were at ProFestNZ?? Would I? Hell yes!

June 23, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

It’s Day 28 of my Ancestral Karma Prostrations Practice – what scientists might call Ancestral Trauma Healing. It’s the second forty day practice I’ve done on this, although this time around, I’ll be going for longer than forty days. Maybe 90.
