the story behind Wayfinding Kaia

hi, I’m Rae.

Wayfinding Kaia was born from that quiet ache so many of us as people of colour know moving through life, doing everything “right,” yet never fully feeling at home.

I was chasing goals, collecting titles, ticking boxes… but losing the parts of myself that felt alive, joyful, curious. I wanted spaces where we could exhale. Where we’re seen, welcomed, and free to experience life without shrinking.

So I created Wayfinding Kaia.
Because Kaia means home, and that’s what this is:
A place for us to reconnect with joy, try new things, build community, and finally feel like we belong on our own terms.

Redefining where we belong.

a dinner that turns

strangers into friends

A games night that

spirals into belly laughs

a trip that reminds you of

who you are

If you’ve ever felt that little pull, that sense that there’s more life to be lived,

then you’re already a WAYFINDER.

Wayfinding Kaia is all about rediscovering that spark together…
the joy, the curiosity, the feeling of finally coming home to yourself.
