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 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...

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❤️🤍🖤
