  • Mauri Tau, One Day Wānanga

    He Timatanga- beginning where we are at

    July 5th 2025

    $80 (Register your interest via the button below)

    Venue—TBC

    This one-day wananga provides a supported space kanohi ki te kanohi (in-person) for deepening into your learning and understanding of your own waiora/wellness and hauora/wellbeing. Through Mauri Tau practices we will tune into your own 3 bodies,( tinana, hinengaro me wairua) in practical ways to actively release tensions and relax from stress patterns and to restore your own systems into a state of mauri tau, or feeling settled and calm. During this day we will also work on mapping your own mauri and identifying tools and practices to meet your own hauora needs. 

    Slow your world down and take time to listen to your own bodies’ voice and to settle and arrive into a clearer pathway forward to create and manage your own ora.

Mauri Mapping

Guided by Cathy, this session involves a facilitated process to map your mauri (life force) by exploring embodied memories, sensations, and emotions. Through intuitive guidance, you’ll release tension and patterns that no longer serve you while making deeper connection with your own body and discovering tools for self-reflection and empowerment.

Hands On

Cathy integrates mirimiri and romiromi traditions with cultural somatic practices and some remedial massage, deep tissue techniques woven in where necessary. This hands-on approach supports physical release, alignment, and the harmonization of tinana, hinengaro, and wairua.

Co-designed kaupapa

Creativity is rongoā and Cathy loves to create! Her career in creative arts and dance as a performer, choreographer, director and teacher has filled her with a love for playing and exploring the feminine space of creativity. 

Incorporating creativity and wellbeing into wānanga, workshops and classes or programmes provides a refreshing approach to healing, to learning and to growing new ways forward for ourselves. Cathy loves collaborating with communities and organisations to co-design facilitated content for diverse settings. Reach out to share your ideas or desires and needs and Cathy can co-create with you an impactful and unforgettable event, be it a class, a workshop or a retreat.
