Tāne Retreat for Manurewa Marae

Ko au Te Taiao - Ko Te Taiao ko au

An absolute pleasure to host Tāne and kaimahi this week from Manurewa Marae - hosting a 4 day Tāne wananaga reconnecting them with Te Taiao and some providing some new tools for hauora to share back in the urban community.

A chance for Tāne who lift their community up, to fill their own cup, and learn new tools to take back into the community. An opportunity to cleanse and purify in Te Taiao - our greatest teacher & healer. Lots of laughter, wairua & vibration shared and tools added to the kete to navigate the inner world with ease & peace. Cocreating with Hikoi, grounding, mahingakai, pure, hā - breathwork, meditation, energy flows, movement, time around the ahi, whaikōrero, haka, karakia & waiata. Sharing our challenges, aspirations & visions, and bringing our gifts and super powers to the surface.

Our first Tāne retreat after the equinox , and an absolute pleasure to extend manaakitanga & share Kotahitanga, whanaungatanga, Rangatiratanga & kaitiakitanga with this group of beautiful Tāne.

Thank you to these Tāne for trusting me as tau iwi to hold this space, not something I take for granted - all we can ever do, is show up as our authentic selves and express the highest version of ourselves. This week gave me huge hope. Kotahitanga.

Thank you Tāne for making the journey, leaning in & trusting the process. The first of many retreats we hope to hold for organisations who serve the community. Arohanui nui ki te katoa.
