WĀHINE,

It has been a buzzy year.

It has been tough and it has been gritty.

In so many ways it has been completely necessary, revealing what has been broken about our world for so long.

There is a proverb, actually from the bible, that I came across when my younger sister died in 2018 and I met the edge of all that I felt like I could face in this lifetime - the pain was the worst kind I have ever felt.

The proverb says, "To provide for those who grieve...to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes." Isaiah 61:3

Essentially, there is beauty and greatness behind every mark of darkness. The ashes will fall away, they don’t stay forever.

This is our theme for our final series for the year and we kiss 2020 goodbye.

So come, dance, sweat, breathe, laugh, cry, shake it out -- as always, our biggest goal is to provide a safe space for you, to be.

We love you and we can't wait to be back together again.

Love,

Taryn & Bianca
