Mōrena koutou katoa 🤍

Have you been quietly sitting on the edge of this post…feeling that deep pull?
Wondering if this Wānanga is for you and whether you should just jump?
If you’re hearing the call, Trust me! It's for you.
And this opportunity may not pass through the Wairarapa again for some time.

Our Foundational Romiromi Wānanga is going ahead here in the Wairarapa..and I’m grateful this invitation remains open. We’re doing it whānau! 🤍

🗓 10–11 January
⏰ 9am–5pm
📍 Te Wakaiti Iti, Featherston
🛏 Marae-style accommodation available

This Wānanga is for those who feel drawn to Mirimiri, Romiromi -Traditional Māori Healing.
For the healers.
The bodyworkers.
The kai mahi in our communities.
And for those who feel this work stirring in their bones..even if you don’t yet have the words for it.

You may come for yourself.
You may come for your whānau.
You may want to deepen your bodywork practice, or strengthen your understanding of Te Whare Wānanga.
You may come because something ancient is remembering itself through you.

My heart and intention is to uplift Wairarapa whānau and grow our kai mirimiri practitioners within this rohe-
BUT I also warmly welcome whānau from outside this rohe.
Whānau- ,if this kōrero speaks to you or you know of others that this would resonate with..I would deeply appreciate you sharing it within your own circles—especially with whānau in Wairarapa, Palmerston North, Upper Hutt, Wellington, and Porirua 🤍

Payment plans can be arranged 💫

Let’s remove the barriers.
Trust the call.
You truly have nothing to lose.

Kia ora e te whānau,

This is an open call to those who may be sitting on the fence...but feeling the pull toward the Foundational Romiromi Wānanga in January.

Some opportunities don’t come around often. It has taken a few years to convince Ruatau to come to the Wairarapa, and this wānanga may not be offered again in a hurry.

We’re very aware that this is a financially heavy time of year, so we’ve reduced the cost to support accessibility. This will mean shared kai rather than catered — returning to a more whānau-style way of gathering.

✨ Investment: $650

• $300 deposit to secure your place
• Payment plans can be made available- touch base for details.

We do need to confirm numbers by next Friday 27th before Ruatau and Esha book their flights.

This two-day wānanga offers deep insight into Papa Hohepa’s teachings, grounding participants in the foundations of Romiromi.

Wānanga Details:
📅 10–11 January 2026
🕘 9:00am – 5:00pm
📍 Te Waka Iti, Featherston – Wairarapa

If this speaks to you, trust that nudge.
You’re welcome to reach out with any pātai or to kōrero further.
Ngā mihi nui 🤍

HE RONGOĀ TENEI 🌱THE GIFT OF 🌳"PRESENCE"..

Before you get fully caught up in the Christmas whirlwind…buying presents..that let's be honest!!! no one really needs! Ask yourself.. Could you give a little more this year? Something that doesn’t cost anything... just your time, your presence...your ARO-HĀ...

I know there are a lot of people struggling right now...They just need someone to be there with them, fully present. Not brushing past. Not trying to fix anything. Just sitting with them where they are.

Friends. Whānau. Work colleagues...Real, meaningful conversation is what's needed whānau! Real life connection.. beyond the surface layers..

The gift of presence...of truly being there for someone. is quite often overlooked, yet its value is priceless. To be seen. To be heard. To feel understood = to be valued!

That gift can change a day… even a life.

Make space e te whānau. Who in your AO needs the gift of presence right now?

Xx

FOUNDATIONAL WAANANGA IN ROMIROMI

To add to the kete of taonga, I am deeply grateful to have Ruatau Perez & Esha Tahapeehi from
Te Arateatea Traditional Maori Healing come up from Ōtautahi, to tautoko our kaupapa -
TE RANGAPŪ WHAKAORA, and to support the expansion of our Wairarapa Mirimiri Romiromi practitioners.

Ruatau is a long-time tauira of the late Papa Hohepa Delamere, carrying many of the ancient teachings- Te Whare Wānanga in Rongoā, Mirimiri and Romiromi. Ruatau has played a pivotal role in the resurgence of these traditional taonga, supporting tauira from around the world to learn the powerful art of Traditional Māori healing.

In this wānanga, you will learn an ancient takutaku passed down by Papa Hohepa, as well as the foundational principles of Romiromi.
This is a powerful entry point into the esoteric wisdom that Papa entrusted to those who continue this mahi.

Wairarapa practitioners will have first priority as we continue to grow the rōpū of Te Rangapū Whakaora.

Spaces are limited- so if you feel the call and everything aligns ✨️.. register your interest ASAP x

WHEN THE KAUPAPA IS GREATER..You will always find a way to push through.

This is the whakaaro that came through the moment I first stepped into the doorway of Mirimiri Romiromi, and it has carried me into spaces I never imagined myself walking.

I am so grateful for the Wānanga this year. It has been absolutely huge. To be honest, landing this week, coming out of the final Wānanga of the year.. has felt like a deep breath of fresh air. I feel grounded again, present on the whenua in a way I haven’t felt for a long time.

Birthing Te Ara Whakaora and Te Rangapū Whakaora has been such a beautiful experience, and I’m incredibly grateful for these spaces.
What I’ve realised through Te Ara Whakaora is just how deeply this mahi is needed… for our people, for our wāhine.

Reconnecting tangata whenua... back their whenua.
Back to te taiao.. our own healing ground, the space in which we havd always belonged.

Te Ara Whakaora is a deep Wānanga to reconnect back to self- to remember the tools in our kete.. passed down by the women that came before us.
Back to our rākau, our tuakana that stand beside us.
Taking a moment to feel, to listen, to tune into our own breath…our own wairua ..our own mauri..our own space and time.

It has been magic observing the mauri of Te Ara Whakaora ignite.. Te Ara Whakaora has her own energy.. cleansing the waters of our spirit.. our whakapapa..our wairua.

To be honest I just had to plant the seed and allow her to grow...she took form as it was needed.

Te Rangapū Whakaora has been a massive expansion of myself and my own Waananga. Honestly, I didn’t see it coming this year, but I was clearly being led into this space… and like I say. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED …READY OR NOT!

Why?
Because our people need healing...and there is much mahi to do! At the moment there is not enough practitioners to serve the need of our people here in the Wairarapa- and I need tautoko.

To put it plainly...

I do not whakapapa to this rōhē, but I know I am deeply connected to this whenua, to this landscape, to the people.. tangata whenua and all those who have chosen the Wairarapa as a place to belong..

Te Rangapū Whakaora was never to be taken lightly.. believe me when I say.. I had to walk through my own shadows..my own s**t show to get here..
To believe that I could hold this Waananga.. and I had everything within me that I needed to create this space. This Waananga was birthed from me ... and is and will always be held with the absolute AROHA. MANA AND INTIGRITY...Mirimiri deserves. Not only to uphold the mana of the mahi but to uphold the mana of our Atua.. of our taiAo and of our tūpuna that continued to carry the energy of Mirimiri and Romiromi RONGOĀ MAORI within them... for us to ignite it today!

Te Rangapū Whakaora is an expression of my aroha to the Wairarapa: a space to support a rōpū of heart-led, Wairarapa-bound practitioners to tautoko the needs of our people here through the lens of Te Ao Māori- through the heart-centred Wānanga of Mirimiri.
Opening space for healers to access their innate tohungatanga - the innate wisdom that has been passed down by the healers that have come before them.

What I know is this:
Rongoā Māori and Mirimiri are needed in all four corners of our whare.. including the whenua we walk upon..
It is a powerful pathway back to trust, to letting go, to releasing what holds us back. To stepping into our full expression of self...unapologetically.

I am incredibly proud of everyone who stepped into this space.. whether you stayed or not. It takes deep courage to walk into the unknown, especially into a Wānanga of Mirimiri & Romiromi, a Wānanga to agitate and stimulate your very system. To peel bavk the layers that have kept you safe. Whether you realised it or not, this was never just a practitioner training. It is a Mirimiri for your soul, your wairua.. a remembering of who you are. A calling to trust yourself and release the limits of the mind...knowing that this is the only thing that can hold you hostage.

When I first stepped into Te Rangapū Whakaora, I had only created the foundations. The rest has all been wairua-led..shaped by my own Wānanga, my own experiences, my own 20-plus years of doing the mahi and choosing to walk through the fire required to get here.
Every kōrero, every challenge, every battle has been an opportunity for me to Wānanga, to learn and to grow.

Remembering it is a continual cycle...each time we enter Wānanga, we have the potential to further deepen our connection to ourself, to others and to the world around us.

I am so grateful to all of my kaiako along the way. Each of them has woven their wisdom into my kete, offering space for growth and new understanding. Even when the lessons felt harsh- and at times didn't make not alot of sense..to be honest!😂🤔.. they have all made me who I am today.

To Papa Hohepa Delamere — HE TANGATA HE TANGATA HE TANGATA. I know this was your vision. ♡..thank you for your Waananga! You have expanded my mind to limits I still cant grasp! 💜 but I understand that not everything ( lesson) needs to be understood..Just knowing it exists...is enough!

To the Great Grandmothers, the Aunties who back me in all my movements...I love your guidance and your aroha. I am humbled every time you send your mokopuna my way. It is an honour I carry always. Thank you for your unconditional love, support, wisdom, and understanding.

Ruatau Perez ! Ngā mihi e hoa! I appreciate your tautoko to support me to bring this Waananga forth..It feels good to align to greater kaupapa- where we are all here to uplift and support others within this space. I appreciate you and the Waananga you hold! X

To everyone that has supported me throughout my Waananga to uplift and encourage me on this kaupapa! I know who you and I am so grateful to have you walk alongside side me.

To Tū Ora Compass Health ! Ngā mihi kia koutou! For the financial support to bring this kaupapa forward! To offer space under full scholarship to my tauira was a an absolute blessing. And for you to see the wider kaupapa... of uplifting our Wairarapa pracitioners to tautoko our community. I am eternally grateful.

To Te Waka iti and our community! Thank you for giving us space in the whare.. Te Aroha o te Tangata! I couldn't have ask for a better or more more perfect space to open these Waananga. The aroha that you have embude in to this whenua e te whānau.. for all people to feel they belong here ..can be felt.

And lastly xx to my darlings Brenden Saayman Kaya Tawharu-Saayman Shayden Shayden Thank you walking this path with me! At times I know it has not been easy but I could not have done any of this. without your absolute unconditional support and aroha! When the kaupapa is greater than yourself! I do it all for you and for our mokopuna x

TE RANGAPŪ WHAKAORA..
A weaving of collective strengths...

A call for all healers to take their place.
To find the potential within.
To access their tūpuna and their purpose.
To trust themselves, believing they already hold the keys to unlock the wisdom within.

I am so proud of you all, e te whānau.
Remember.. you walked through the fire too.
