Te Waka Rākau - HE RONGOĀ

He Rongoā.

We are deeply humbled to deliver Te Waka Rākau - He Rongoā in the beautiful Woodlands in the heart of Kerikeri, Bay of Islands. Woodlands is set back off the road on 22 hectares (50 acres) of bushland. This setting provides a quiet and relaxed atmosphere to tautoko our work with rākau for deep healing, transformation and expanding consciousness.This setting provides a quiet and relaxed atmosphere to tautoko our work with rākau for deep healing, transformation and expanding consciousness.

Our bones are the stones of Papatūānuku, our blood is of the flowing streams and rivers and our breath comes from the rākau of te waonui a Tāne.

Te Waka Rākau - He Rongoā is a space where we work with rongoā to assist us in purifying the tinana (body), hinengaro (mind & emotions) and wairua (spirit).

At this wānanga we will make rongoā for certain conditions and work with poultices and wraps for the tinana (body). We will work with rongoā for sore muscles and bones and learn gentle mirimiri movements to enhance the flow of energy.

You will learn some of the medicinal properties of plants that are specific for our space but primarily, you will learn the deeper aspects of the healing power of plants.

Mauri is the quintessential essence of the wānanga. Anyone from any culture is welcome. This retreat is about 'emptying the vessel' to move deeper into the kingdom of nature.

Cost of the wānanga is $250. Fees do not include accomodation. If you are travelling from out of town please be sure to arrange your own accomodation.

Punaora and Hineatua Members receive 20% off all wānanga delivered in Aotearoa.

Spaces are strictly limited.
