An ode to my love and our time in Bali 💕✨

This trip to Bali was so many things - not only my first overseas trip with but also my first overseas travel with a partner.

I LOVED OUR BALI TIME TOGETHER - we did a best at learning the language and culture of the Balinese people, we embraced every invitation we received. We feasted on local food and we followed our hearts to unique experiences - falling in love with all the animals along the way.
Thank for you being a boss babe with the scooter and driving me around everywhere. Thank you for being my love ❤️✨

I am really wanting to share more authentically and opening about our love - however I have been battling with internalised homophobia for the past few months.
This comes and goes in waves, sometimes not being felt at all and in other moments I am overwhelmed by a shame I cannot describe.

Travelling through Bali we weren’t sure how safe we were to share that we were a couple.
I didn’t want to risk not creating bonds with the locals and Bek always strives to keep us safe.

The most romantic gesture I have ever received was this incredible flower pool! Which was overwhelmingly huge, freezing cold and so much fun! Although Bek booked the honeymoon package, she told them it was for her best friend - and that it was all a gift for my birthday. 🎈
This created a series of lies that we kept telling - in a world where I didn’t feel like I really had to “come out” because I felt safe with my awesome family and so much of my community is q***r and open.

The lies and the hiding - even if subtle - fed the shame inside of me, and it grew.

I’m so grateful for how my love held me through this - it wasn’t easy to face and feel and hold between us.

Until I broke through and told a Balinese friend who we were going to visit in his village - I was so nervous to share with him, to be rejected from a person of colour and the thought of being exiled from prayer, were huge and really real fears that arose within me. He was totally awesome though and totally cool with it and I cried with release. My capacity to love expanded from there.
Thank you Rebecca loving me through all of this - * continues > ✨

SUPER EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE! ✨🤍

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE FOR ECLECTICA’S UPCOMING STAGE PRODUCTION

Held at Karralyka Theatre in Melbourne on May 20th, 21st, and 22nd, 2025.

Step into a world where ancestral wisdom meets artistic conviction in ‘Luminary’ - a deeply compelling stage production that invites audience members on a soul-stirring journey of lineage healing and personal liberation.

Created and performed by the acclaimed Eclectica Hub and their devoted students, Luminary is an innovative ritual theatre experience that illuminates what it means to be a “luminary” - a torchbearer for your lineage.

It calls you to confront the burdens of silent vows, the weight of intergenerational trauma, and the duality of both the shame and gifts passed down through generations. It is a story of breaking free from the shackles of the past, reclaiming your sovereignty, and embracing the profound responsibility we each carry for the future.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Eclectica Hub has long been a beacon of activism and visionary performance art for the past 10 years, redefining the boundaries of contemporary dance, ritual theatre, and embodied storytelling.

‘Luminary’ offers more than just a stage show, but a felt transmission - where each gesture, formation, and psychedelic visual display invites you to become an active participant in your own healing.

This immersive journey through movement, intentional choreography, and sacred storytelling calls you to join the ritual, to step into the circle of the ancestors, and to align yourself with the deeper currents of your soul’s calling.

Luminary invites you to remember that your ancestors always stand behind you, that you are the result of a love of thousands, and that their wisdom and guidance are always within reach.

Prepare for an unforgettable, transformative experience that will leave you revolutionised. This is more than a performance - it is a ritual of healing, a journey into your ancestral lineage, and a call to light the torch of responsibility and remembrance.
