Uekaha - weaving te reo Māori with movement

04/08/2022

Tautoko mai e te iwi, tuhia tō ingoa kia whakahaumaru ai tēnei taonga arā te rongoā Māori❤️🤍🖤

The Rongoaa Maaori Waananga hosted by Massey University is for Whaanau Maaori to come together to stand up against the takeover of our ancient healing ways under the Therapeutics Act.

Te Kahui Rongoa has been mentioned in the Therapeutic Act newsletter as having done a series of wananga with the karauna. Will the karauna be able to ensure that Rongoaa Maaori is kept safe while they monitor, assess and regulate all our spiritual services, products and tupuna matauranga?

Where were the national panui for these waananga to consult us as the tangata whenua?

Were you consulted?

Did you consent?

This petition was released from parliament today that will go to the House of Representatives.

Please sign this petition if you don’t want our Rongoaa Maaori to go under the Therapeutic Act.

He aha tērā kei a koe anake hei takoha atu ki te ao? He aha tāku e kimi ai?
What have you had to offer the worls that is uniquely you? What is it that I seek?
We are all uniquely different to each other and gifted with talents and offerings far beyond what most of us realise. We need to keep reconnecting to our inner self, our spirit & soul and be reminded of how amazing WE ALL ARE.
Find your inspiration amd then be the inspiration- when we step into our light away from the shadows, we give others the strength to consider stepping into their own ❤️🤍🖤 Mauri ora ki a tātou katoa.

Kia ora rā- just a mihi from me and this guy (tōku tokatū moana- my rock)

Kia ora koutou- inanahi i hīkoitia te ara hīkoi Karamatura ki rō ngahere e māua ko tōku māmā. 13km, 3 ngā haora me 41 miniti- aue- nui nga ara piki, ngā aupiki tae atu ki te tihi o te maunga rā. Ahakoa i roa te wā, i uaua te hīkoi ka tutuki i a māua tā māua whāinga...
Highly recommend Karamatura "moderate"😳 hike into the deep forest. You can choose how far you want to go (and mum and I did on a few occasions wonder how much further to the summit- our goal...) so glad we kept going and even though it took 3 hours 41 mins and 13km, 18,885 steps and 728 mtr elevation climb😳 it was well worth the view! Head out to Te Wao o Waitakere...

Ngā mihi ki a koutou katoa- Inā tā tātou mamahi o te wiki tuatoru nei!
I had to laugh e te whānau as I watched this playback (trying not to over think of course!) and in the first few minutes cracked up laughing at my hapa! Heoi anō- we make plenty of mistakes when speaking English so I'm learning to "accept" āku hapa i te reo Māori! Part of the journey... like me calling a Pana Tū a Pana ake! Or saying tuarā instead of tinana! This is still a "learning journey" and always will be ENGARI e rite ana te haerenga kori tinana ki te haerenga ako i te reo Māori ki ētahi... nui ngā piki me ngā heke, he rā pai, he rā uaua... ko te mea nui... Kia manawanui tātou ❤️🤍🖤 Okea Ururoatia! Strive👊🏾 keep going!

26/10/2021

Tēnā rā koutou- mātakitaki mai kia ako tātou i ngā kori tinana o te wiki nei arā ko te pana ake (the burpee👌🏾) me te whātoro waewae (the lunge👍🏾) - he reo rua ngā tohutohu!

23/10/2021

Nei au e tuku mihi whakakipakipa ki a tātou katoa- kia tū kaha i tō ake whakapono ki a koe👊🏾
Nā Reina Cottier tēnei karere whakahihiko
Nā whaea Marama Hune te whakamāori ātaahua❤️
Speak your truth, EMPOWER yourself. Don't be afraid to show who you are, to stand up for yourself where necessary.
I guess in these current times alot of the kōrero is focussed on ..."vaccination' and all the aho attached to it! Māori this, Māori that, everyone seems to have such strong opinions of what others are choosing or not choosing, how that will affect everyone else, is it an extension of us as Māori bowing dow to the Government, the Crown, re-colonisation.... te mea, te mea, te mea!
This kāri was the one that sat on top after shuffling while doing a karakia so this is the one I share with you today❤️🤍🖤
