Thank you to all of those who showed a keen interest in joining us in next years wānanga💚

Facilitated by myself, Hiramārie Moewaka Latimer, Ngā Pou Turuturu is a structured PLD series designed for Māori birthing practitioners who want to strengthen their mātauranga.

Limited to 20 participants with only 1 scholarship available
- early registration is recommended.

All wānanga will be held in person at Te Whare Mamahu in Ōwairaka, Tāmaki Makaurau.

It takes many relationships to form safer birthing communities within our modern day society.

3x 3 day wananga that aims to:
-Deepen understandings of hakapapa and tikanga within Te
Whare Pora
-Integrate te reo Mäori including karakia and oriori into birthing contexts
-Recognise tohu during labour and birth, and respond appropriately
-Explore rongoã as supportive practices
-Reflect on professional growth and set future goals

We are posting these beautiful prints by the talent once again in support of ❤️

This is Jess's depiction of Hineteiwaiwa.
The marama is Oturu, marama of fertility and conception.
In the right hand of Hineteiwaiwa is a kono in the colors of kokowai to symbolise Kurawaka, filled with ika as a tohu of abundance.
The whetu represent those yet to be born, cradled in her makawe like it's a net as she carries life everywhere.

50cm x 35cm limited screen print on fine art cotton paper.

Prints are $70ea

Pick up from Owairaka, Tāmaki Makaurau (this is really helpful if you can) OR $18 post and packaging

We cannot stress the dangers of adding 'gemstones' or pounamu to taura muka enough! There is also tikanga around selling and buying that is important to consider.

If you are wanting taura muka, please DM us and we can check out your options🥰
