Te Hapori Ora - The Village of Wellbeing

27/10/2025

Kia ora whānau,

We’re proud to share that Te Hapori Ora Music is now live on Spotify under our artist name MANURERE. 🎧

MANURERE carries the voices of our community — those who came together through our transformational wellbeing kaupapa and helped shape the village now known as Te Hapori Ora. These waiata were born from the stories, reflections, and experiences shared within our wānanga.

For over 14 years, our wānanga have been spaces where people come to reconnect, reflect, and rise. The drawings, poems, and music that emerge are only a small reflection of what happens there — the real work lies in the kōrero, the breakthroughs, and the courage it takes to heal.

Each waiata stands as a living record of that journey — a contribution that ensures our people’s voices are heard, valued, and remembered. They speak of resilience, hope, and the shared heartbeat of our hapori.

Our team of five continues to hold and serve this kaupapa, but these songs belong to the people — a legacy of wellbeing in motion.

🎧 Listen, follow, and share the sound of our community:

Influence Crew | Maunga Ruapehu Hikoi ❄️

For many of our whānau, this was the first time standing on Maunga Ruapehu… and the first time ever seeing snow. What followed was pure magic — snowmen rising from the ground, snowballs flying, laughter echoing across the mountain, and kōrero flowing about our mighty Koro, Ruapehu.

More than just a day in the snow, this hikoi was about connection — to whenua, to kōrero tuku iho, and to each other. These moments forged new bonds, deepened old ones, and reminded us what whānau truly means.

Here’s to more shared adventures, more learning, and more aroha in motion.

INFLUENCE CREW | Rise & Grind Session

Last weekend’s team bonding hit different. At 3:00 AM, while most were still dreaming, our crew was out moving — testing limits, finding rhythm, and welcoming the new day with intention.

Massive shoutout to Trainer for leading this early-morning session and dropping some top-tier training tips for our new members. 💪

The video says it all — unity, effort, and a bit of that Influence fire. 🔥
