REFLECTIONS FROM THE NGAHERE
In Communion with Rākau
In Communion with Rākau is a practice of stillness, listening and deepening our relationship with the living world.
Through quiet communion with rākau, we come to recognise the mauri that connects us with Papatūānuku, the ngahere and all living things.
Reflections that emerge through the practice of being present with rākau.
Our team of ACC-registered Rongoā Māori practitioners offers a safe and supportive space for healing, trauma recovery and wellbeing.
Nau mai, welcome to Rongoā Mauri
MEET YOUR KAITOHU
Ko Tararua te maunga
Ko Ōtaki me Waitohu ngā awa
Ko Ngāti Raukawa ki te tonga te iwi
Ko Ngāti Kapumanawawhiti,
Ngāti Koroki, Ngāti Maiōtaki ngā hapū
Joanne Hakaraia has been a Rongoā Māori practitioner for over 20 years. The mauri of the plants has always drawn her closer, and over time she has developed her own way of connecting with them, through meditation, insight and reflection.
"It is an honour to walk alongside you, whether through healing, or as we sit together with the plants."
HEALING PATHWAYS
RONGOĀ MAURI COLLECTIVE
For Collective Members
Each Monday to Thursday at 9am (NZ time), we gather online for In Communion with Rākau a live guided meditation practice of stillness, conscious breathing and deep listening alongside rākau guiding us that week.
Through this practice, we deepen our awareness of the mauri connecting all life. Members share kōrero in our private community, and each Friday at 3pm, we gather to reflect and close the week together.
