    Alison Mau on Tika a new initiative taking collective action to advocate for those who have experienced sexual harm

    I learned a lot in this conversation with Alison Mau about her life and journey and what has led to the setting up of Tika.  Curiousity guided the questions and we talk about a lot of things starting with her childhood, growing up in Melbourne, experiences at primary school that shaped her and led to a resilient attitude, the special bond she feels with horses and why that is so, becoming a journalist back in the analogue days before lots of computers or dictaphons, and her presenting on TV and how she ended up in New Zealand.  Then we focus in on the setting up of Tika which is a charity that empowers people to come forward to report past sexual harm and how it works, what it means and the future potential.   And an encouragment for us all: "Happiness for me is not in money, possessions or anything like that - it is, how can I be useful..." Tika website: https://www.tika.org.nz/  Alison's book "No Words for this" is here or over here More about Anu and Women Together Global who we mention in the interview as she introduced us:  https://www.womentogetherglobal.com/  Spinoff book review: https://thespinoff.co.nz/books/01-04-2025/gripping-revelatory-generous-and-layered-no-words-for-this-by-ali-mau-reviewed  For many more interviews visit www.theseeds.nz

    Susanne Ritzenhoff on Creativity, Art and Toi Ora

    I really enjoyed my conversation with Susanne Ritzenhoff about her life and Toi Ora and the work they do – check out the links we mentioned in the conversation:   Toi Ora link: Toi Ora Live Art Trust   Gallery with art for sale: Gallery Shop - Toi Ora Live Art Trust   The Circle: Careers with Impact Book: The Circle: Careers with Impact - Seeds   Interview with Neil Ieremia: Neil Ieremia on founding Black Grace and the role Dance can play in commenting on our past and our future - Seeds   Shakespeare Festival link: Contact Us : Shakespeare Globe Centre NZ   Annie Dillard quote:   "One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes."
