Kia Au, Ko Au - Rangatahi Wellbeing Wānanga

‘Kia Au, Ko Au’ is a 4-day rangatahi wānanga that draws on ancient knowledge and practices of Oriori, Pūrākau and Maramataka to educate rangatahi on Indigenous ways of calming the mind, settling the spirit and relaxing into a deep sleep, combatting anxiety and overstimulation while developing tools to be shared with their whānau, hapū, and iwi.

The opportunity to develop Māori-led programmes for pēpi, tamariki and whānau wellbeing and intergenerational playspaces centred on tikanga and te ao Māori has been described as “breath-taking” and a privilege by those involved.

Over the next five years, Te Rōpū Rangahau Hauora a Eru Pōmare at the University of Otago, Wellington, will partner with three Māori community organisations, alongside international Indigenous collaborators in the United States, Canada and Australia, led by the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health.

Te Rōpū Rangahau Hauora a Eru Pōmare will work with Kōkiri Marae, in Lower Hutt, Toi Matarua Rangatahi Research, in Napier, and Te Hou Ora Whānau Services, in Dunedin, to promote traditional whānau models of wellbeing, nature-based recreational spaces, and cultural teachings which reflect the values of the communities involved.

This trip is an opportunity for all partners to meet and begin the journey together.
