Hau Maranga Wānanga - Te Tai Tokerau
Description
Nau mai, haere mai!
Te Whare Whakaora invites kaiāwhina, health practitioners, and those interested in romiromi and traditional wellbeing practices to Hau Maranga, a fully funded two-day wānanga grounded in Te Ao Māori.
Hau Maranga is designed to enrich the knowledge base of those working in the health and wellbeing sector or interested in pursuing that pathway.
Grounded in Te Ao Māori practices of wellbeing, Hau Maranga utilises Māori knowledge systems and practices, to empower participants to grow in their understanding in mātauranga, hauora, wairuatanga.
This wānanga will help to nurture and grow our natural skills of caring for others, while sharing tools and knowledge to increase a sense of belonging and identity, connection and competency working in diverse environments which will ultimately contribute to improved health and wellbeing outcomes for all.
Over our two days together, we explore:
concepts of wairuatanga, and indigenous practices of wellbeing & healing
waiata, pūrakau, takutaku
concepts of health and wellbeing of ourselves as practitioners and providers of health and wellbeing
in a safe space for learning and growing together
