How we began

CONNECTION

By Karena and Milly Grant-Koria.

Our work is about teaching our children that life is about the service of truth to YOURSELF which is reflected in the world outside of you.

​

In 2015 Karena found that in his Martial Arts, Mau Rakau, Weaponry, Stunts, Performance teachings there was an alignment to the work his wife was doing within RAAH Medicinals previously known as Ritu Anima Alkemi Healing. Multiple occasions occurred where the couple would find themselves performing at the same gig not knowing they would be performing and teaching separately.

They realised as a couple they could do more as a family especially for their children. No matter the language or culture there are fundamentals that can be nourished wielded and grown from the back bone of Husband and Wife to Family, which extended out to the wider communities if the teaching that is shared and grown comes from the equal stance of this relationship of unity, of CONNECTION.

​
