Rongoā Rākau — A Companion in the Ngahere is an illustrated digital book sharing my relationship with 20 rākau and the healing wisdom held within te taiao.

Created from two years of monthly writings, this book brings together plant knowledge, photographs, personal experiences and reflections on the mauri of each rākau. It invites you to move beyond simply learning about plants and begin forming your own deeper relationship with the ngahere.

Inside, you will explore:

• Twenty individual rākau • Plant identification and traditional uses • Reflections on mauri and healing • Practical preparations and observations • Ways of listening to and connecting with te taiao

This is a downloadable digital e-book. No physical book will be posted.

Written by Joanne Hakaraia, Rongoā Māori healer and founder of Rongoā Mauri.
