About this Waananga

This ancient waananga is open to all. During the waananga we will soar the realms of the sounds before and after creation; awaken the senses and the vibrations of male instinct and female intuition within; access the source of all inner wisdoms, the original template of all forms of enlightened knowledge, the source of invisibility, and the source of the soul.

This is the origin of all potential - where all of our senses come together, grounded deeply within the Puumanawa.

This waananga shares maatauranga surrounding the three oko (baskets) of knowledge obtained by Taane when he ascended the heavens. Our esoteric teachings provide a Maori understanding of quantum physics and quantum realities. The takutaku (incantation) Taane used to obtain the oko will be shared as a means of stimulating and activating the codes buried deep within us.

The maatauranga shared over these five days will help strengthen your ability to access and activate your own ancient inner wisdom and understanding self and intergenerational healing, as well as provide a chance to connect with other like-minded souls willing and excited to explore the wonders of the quantum energies of the universe through the eyes of our Tuupuna.

This waananga is open to all - both Māori and non-Māori. All we ask is that you come with an open heart and mind to receive these teachings. The waananga will be shared in both te reo Māori and English, with no prior knowledge of the language necessary.
