Working Effectively
with Maori
Include tikanga, waiata, whakatauki Maori Mythology concepts, protocols, education in Te Ao Maori
Working with Trauma with Maori Tikanga-base Models of practice
Using Mythology, Maori concepts and the creative use of a realm of Tikanga-Based developed Models using “Te Whare Tapa Wha”
Hearing from Matua, his perspective and depth of insight. It gave me bit more courage to be myself in my sessions with Maori and more understanding of Tikanga to look for ways of inviting these conversations. To make more use of the concepts of mana and aroha in my conversations with school aged kids. These are beautiful words with so much meaning and bring possibility for change in a person’s self identity
They were great and easy to understand. Enjoyed how they incorporated waiata to get us up and about and break the cycle of sitting in zoom meeting.
Also really enjoyed the simplicity of it and hearing Matua’s story.
The top 3 things I got out of the wānanga:
1: The beautiful “soul” that Matua Wi brought to us in the willing to ‘translate’ or try to adjust to to different cultures.
2: The new understanding about Aroha.
3: The confidence that we cannot do wrong.
