Join us for a week in March/April 2025 as we sit in Waananga together honouring te Tapu o te Waananga, te Tapu o te Whenua me te Tapu o te Tangata. This waananga will be held at the Te Moata Retreat Centre. Te Moata is a purpose-built retreat centre sitting on 344 hectares of pristine native bush in the Coromandel Peninsula.As the resurgence of Rongoā Māori is increasing, it is important we remember and maintain our connection to our Tuakana. Rongoā Māori is about building a relationship with the Trees/plants and honouring our Role as Kaitiaki/Guardians of Te Wao Nui O Tane/the children of Tane. This Waananga focuses on the wairua embodiment of this sacred mahi. Upholding the Mana and Mauri of the Ngahere and Te Taiao and sharing the why (wairua) aspects.
Over 7 nights / 6 days we will dive deeply into the many dimensions of this mahi some of it including:
- Te Taha wairua / spiritual aspects of this mahi - using your whatumanawa and senses to communicate.
- We will learn the importance of Whakapapa and share Takutaku to activate the healing properties within some of the Raakau we are connecting with.
- Takutaku / ancient Incantations that connect us to the kaupapa of (w) holistic well-being.
- Tikanga and Kawa/Traditions and Protocols of Rongoā Māori.
- Connection and communication with the Rakau/Tuakana/Trees.
