Transition contemporary Maori Concepts and Protocols within Models to work with Trauma /Sexual Abuse and to provide a Simplistic, Dymystification of Te Ao Maori, found in the strands that it takes to weave a new mat.
To present Maori Models of Practice which have the blessing of both Kaumatua and Kuia. By doing this it adds these concepts as a tangible tool to use alongside any mainstream practices.
This will be through the use of Mythology, Maori concepts and the creative use of a realm of Tikanga-Based developed Models designed by both Wi Waikari & Jenny Manuera and within the framework of “Te Whare Tapa Wha”.
Available Online or In-Person
Maori Models Included:
Listening to Matua Wii talking about Maori concepts. Having such a knowledgeable and experienced counsellor in Jenny putting across useful and practical ideas for counsellors to try. There weren’t any boring parts, like most online trainings where you sometimes drift away.

Whaea Jenny and Matua Wi were so interesting and experienced in their presentation and korero. It was like sitting down for the day with your favourite relatives and listening to wisdom and knowledge being imparted with aroha acceptance and warmth. Thank you.
~ Linda Page
I liked how the each model was broken up with interactions from participants, including the group work online. It was truly relaxing atmosphere to absorb the learning.
