CULTURAL | CONNECTION |IDENTITY | HEALING
This kaupapa provides a wānanga space rooted in Te Ao Māori, welcoming all members of the community to reconnect with culture, identity, and wellbeing, whether they are living away from Aotearoa or are eager to learn more about Māori. For many, maintaining a strong connection to culture while can be challenging. These wānanga are designed to everyone in preserving our shared culture, enhancing identity, and a sense of belonging, while promoting hauora through diverse Māori perspectives. The wānanga weaves together healing, learning, and connection, creating an inclusive environment where participants can reconnect with themselves, each other, and the deeper wisdom within mātauranga Māori. Through discussions, hands-on practices and collective reflection, everyone is encouraged to explore wellbeing through the lens Te Ao Māori. While Rongoā Māori and healing practices maybe a strong foundation within wānanga, the kaupapa can be adapted to meet the needs of the entire community. Each offering can be shaped through dialogue and hui with the hosting group, ensuring the experience is meaningful and supportive for all whānau.
Te Ara o te Rongoā Wānanga Three day noho We are excited to be opening the space for Te Ara o te Rongoā, a three day noho wānanga held over the long weekend in September. Friday 25th - Sunday 27th September This three day noho marks a new offering for us, created in response to what has been asked for and ready to be held. Held in a marae style noho, we will live, eat, learn, and reflect together over three days. The wānanga moves between kōrero, embodied practice, reflection, and rest, creating space for integration rather than rush. Te Ara o te Rongoā brings together mirimiri, romiromi, matakite, connection to whenua and te taiao, and an understanding of how rongoā is carried into everyday life. For those living away from home, this space offers an opportunity to reconnect with whakapapa and culture. This wānanga is also open to the wider community who feel called to learn respectfully and in relationship.

From the moment I arrived on the Friday night on my own, I was met with openness and love. So glad I got out of my own way and attended this. So good to be around like minded people. A safe space was created for all, regardless of where you were at in your journey/mahi. Highly, highly recommend who is curious.
