About LRT - liminal-rhythm-trust

What we are about

We’re building pathways for wāhine beyond survival — through a combination of structured programmes, in-person retreats, and ongoing innovation.

Our work currently centres around three key areas:

Programmes
Online, structured pathways designed to support wāhine in understanding their experiences, rebuilding emotional awareness, and developing tools for long-term wellbeing.

Retreats
In-person spaces that bring together community, somatic practices, and guided support — creating opportunities for connection, integration, and rest.

Innovation (Milwaka AI)
The development of a trauma-informed, AI-supported tool designed to increase access to support, particularly in moments where traditional services are unavailable.
