Ruah Grace
My chosen name is Ruah Grace (Rua in my second language Maori means two. Ruah in the ancient Hebrew means breath, wind, air and Spirit) I am two spirits. My pronouns are they/them or She/Her. My surname Grace is summed up in the great theological treatise of the U2 song called “Grace”.
I am also a Lived Experienced Advocate, Researcher, Indigenous Maori (connected by blood to the tribes of Ngati Awa, Te Arawa and Ngapuhi), Irish, Queer, Transfemme, Pan/Demi Romantic, Relationship Anarchist, Writer, Artist, Musician and one of the mystical and beloved children of The Great Mother/The Divine Feminine.
My passion is to advocate for, facilitate with and co-create “Listening Tribes” .
Listening Tribes are the spaces that kindred others are called to that are conducive to birthing and manifesting possibilities.
I call members of these ‘Listening Tribes’ the ‘sent ones’
‘Listening Tribes’ for me are about ‘deep listening’, the mutual brave-hearted willingness to gracefully confront disempowering paradigms and the courage as a tribe to lead (with vulnerability) into ways of being that proclaim and celebrate our beautiful, vital, shared essence so that transformation has every opportunity to make its way through the soil of our our lives and flower into the worlds of others.
