About this Wānanga

This wānanga is to introduce and awaken you to the philosophies and practices of Whare Wānanga Lore and Traditional Māori Healing.


This 2 day foundational course will cover the dynamics of Takutaku, Kaupare and Whatumanawa, Mirimiri and Romiromi . The awareness and importance of self reflection and healing. This Wānanga builds the foundation in order to enter these sacred healing realms confidently.

What will be shared: 

  • A Mirimiri/Romiromi bodywork alignment and have the opportunity to build your skills and confidence daily.

  • Dynamics of Takutaku and kaupare

  • Pūrākau stories of Nga Atua and Māori esoteric wisdoms.

  • How energy becomes infused within the kaupapa of Mirimiri and Romiromi.

  • The physicality of energy - how it is sourced, how it’s channelled and how it is absorbed from the kaiwhakaora (practitioner) through to the whaiora (client).

This wānanga will provide you with the tools you need to reflect in self healing and practice safely when working with whaiora, Wairua, Tīpuna and Kaitiaki whether that be in Mirmiri and Romiromi or your daily life and interactions.

The philosophies are taught and translated in Te Reo Māori and English. You do not need to have any prior understandings of the Māori language.

This wānanga is open to all, Māori and non-Māori. The whakapapa of this wānanga is through Whare Wānanga  Lore passed down by Papa Joe -Hohepa DeLeMere to Ruatau Perez. We ask that those who come do so with an open heart and mind.

 

In order to uphold the integrity of this Mātauranaga anything shared during this wānanga is for deeper philosophical understanding, deeper connection to self and wairua and practical application in this mahi of Mirmiri and RomiRomi.
