RACHEL RAY
Sixteen years ago, Rachel moved from England’s familiar shores to a slice of paradise at the edge of a coastal North Island village in Aotearoa, New Zealand. There, with her husband and son, she planted roots deep into soil that would nurture not just their home, but her soul’s calling.
A devotee of nature’s whispers, Rachel weaves her reverence through art, storytelling, yoga’s ancient wisdom, and healing therapies. Her hands, equally comfortable crafting prose or tending gardens, are shaping the land using organic and permaculture principles into a sanctuary where others might rediscover the profound poetry of slowness.
As she continues birthing stories from the connections of landscape and lived experience, Rachel cultivates something increasingly rare: a space where time breathes differently. Here, surrounded by a constellation of loved ones and kindred spirits, she invites others to remember what it means to simply be present to each day’s quiet offerings.
