Why Join Hawaiki Tū?
Hawaiki Tū is more than just an event; it's a journey towards holistic wellbeing founded on mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), tirohanga Māori (Māori worldview), and tikanga Māori (Māori customs and practices). This grassroots kaupapa Māori initiative is designed to promote oranga (wellbeing) and cultural confidence for our participants.
During the Hawaiki Tū wānanga, participants will delve into the rich world of Māori wisdom and ancestral gifts, learning how to apply these treasures to their everyday lives for greater oranga:
What will you learn?
Mau rākau: Discover the art of self and collective discipline, a foundation for all aspects of our wānanga. Mau rākau instills cultural pride and discipline, especially beneficial for our rangatahi.
Karakia: Explore how to apply karakia in a modern context, nurturing te taha wairua (spiritual well-being). Karakia can summon courage, gratitude, environmental connection, and abundance.
Whakatau Mauri: Experience Māori meditation, tending to your internal maara kai, settling the hinengaro, and nurturing the wairua (mental and spiritual well-being).
Kapa haka: Learn about the beauty of Māori performing arts
Te Reo Rangatira: Our wānanga is bilingual, taught in both te reo Māori and English. We encourage participants to reclaim and speak te reo Māori, learning basic words, sentences, waiata, haka, and karakia.
