What the F*ck Has New Zealand Done to Stop Genocide in Gaza?

September 26, 2025 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Context (the horror, the facts you need to know) on what NZ has done to stop genocide. On 7 October 2023, Hamas launched a coordinated attack into southern Israel — killing civilians, storming towns, taking hostages. The Israeli security apparatus responded with ferocity. In the chaos, some Israeli troops even ended up killing their own …

Cannabis as a Sacred Plant Medicine: Journeying, Accessing Trance States & Psychosis

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.

What is Traditional Tantra and Where Do I Learn It?

November 6, 2022 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

There is a resurgence of interest arising in traditional Tantra in large propelled by the work of scholar-practitioners such as Christopher Wallis and Christopher Tompkins, and informed by the publication of books like Tantra Illuminated and The Recognition Sutras. This resurgence was possibly seeded by the stratospheric rise — and burnout — of Anusara Yoga. It was founded …

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! I am a practice junkie, and whilst I’m dedicated to Tantra as my ‘path’, one of the beauties of Tantra is that it encompasses ALL practices, all paths, all religions, all …

To get vaccinated or not? Is that even the question?

September 23, 2021 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

I’m writing this in September 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has been raging for 20 months or so. There’s been almost 230 million cases, and 4.7 millions deaths, according to the World Health Organisation. Here in New Zealand / Aotearoa, where I live, we’ve had 3,763 cases and 27 deaths and 37.5% of the population is …

Healing the Parent-Child Relationship with Ancestral Trauma Healing Practice

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. Although Christopher Wallis, one of the teachers I learned this practice from, says to …
