About this Event
Māori Healing Retreat Introduction to Māori Spirituality & Bodywork
Step into a sacred space of healing, guided by the wisdom of Māori spiritual traditions. This immersive wānanga (retreat) offers a powerful introduction to the philosophies and practices of traditional Māori healing, including Mirimiri and Romiromi bodywork.
During our days together, you will be gently guided to develop spiritual awareness, understand the importance of spiritual safety, and cultivate tools to support your own growth and consciousness—not only within healing practices, but in everyday life. We use stories and songs of our ancestors to share this wisdom.
This wānanga lays the foundation for entering sacred healing realms, supporting you to reconnect with yourself, your intuition, earth mother and the unseen realms.
The Healing Modalities
Mirimiri – The Spiritual connection mirimiri is a form of healing that goes beyond physical touch. It is intuitive and deeply connected to ancestors and unseen realms. Subtle yet powerful, it works through perception, inner knowing, and energetic awareness, allowing healing to permeate the body on a profound level.
Romiromi – The Physical AwakeningRomiromi is a deep, transformative bodywork practice.
Romi is to work the internal systems: organs, blood, tissues, muscles
Mi is to stimulate te hā (breath of life), releasing blockages and restoring flow
Together, Mirimiri and Romiromi are symbiotic practices, working hand in hand to support holistic healing of body, mind, and spirit.
