Caitlin & Sika are international musicians from the South Island of New Zealand. Their music is an electrifying blend of indigenous and western music. They are truly unique performers and their spirit & energy appeals to audiences with a variety of musical tastes from world to folk to dance.Their music spans many cultures by using a wide range of instruments that reflect their travels around the world. Powerful chants sung in the ancient language of Sanskrit …..East meets West with a spark of spirit and dance.
Caitlin & Sika live in the mountains above Golden Bay with their children on their horse ranch and are living a self-sufficient, eco-friendly lifestyle with organic gardens, passive solar, warming their house, sheeps wool to insulate the walls and a mini hydro system to power up the satellite dish to get broadband.Listen to how conscious entertainers use their skills to both educate and uplift the human spirit to initiate us into becoming aware of our inherent capabilities of being truly human.www.caitlinsika.com
A mighty shift in how people-power can wrest control away from unconscious central government and place it back in the hands of localised community and conscious consumers is taking place here in Northland, New Zealand.Not since the heady days of the mid 1980’s when localised groups and councils ‘made’ Nuclear Free Zones across this country, have we seen such a resurgence as ordinary and extraordinary NZer’s through dedication and vision, mobilise to make Northland, NZ a GMO Free Zone.
Listen to an impassioned Zelka Grammer on how GE Free Northland with the help of Maori Iwi, localised growers and supporters plus District Councillors are investigating local options for regulating or prohibiting GMO land use in the Northland Peninsular.
The recent High Court ruling that has overturned ERMA's (Environmental Risk Management Authority) decision to accept applications from AgResearch to release GM animals throughout New Zealand is another step towards sanity and keeping NZ’s prized ‘Clean Green’ image from being tarnished by unethical procedures.

Pryesh Tavari is a medical doctor and physician born in India and has been in NZ less than a year. He works at the university of Auckland doing a PhD in health informatics.Listen to an inspiring way of using technology to take medicine into the villages and rural areas of India where up to 700 million people are for the first time able to access health and healing information never before foreseen.With both Western allopathic medicine and traditional ayurvedic and alternative and complimentary medicines available, the key is to have women lead by becoming trained and thus empowered to lead their families into both preventative health and community health.
We also learn what it means "to be of service to our fellow man" and the profound understanding of the metaphysical and spiritual that has been embedded for thousand of years across India is now emerging to re energise the core of our being.Pryesh Tavari's, understanding of "service" is so compelling that it will motivate and invigorate you to continue your work for the greater good of both the community both locally and globally.
