Mahia Tinana Workshop

What is taught in one of our workshops?

 

Welcome! Nau mai Haere Mai! Our workshops aim for interaction and the sharing of ancient teachings and wisdom.

I have been guided throughout my life by the teachings of my maatua mother Terehia Kipa and Huia Kipa. Raised in Otautahi, my father was raised in Wairewa Kati Irakehu, Waitaha, Kati Mamoe. Sharing stories of our ancestors whanau and Rangi and Papa and their children. Whakawhanaungatanga always interweaves the knowledge and practices of Te Ao Marae.  

My mother was raised in Horohoro, traveling to Mokai, our turangawaewae. Our Great great Kuia Hera Rangitohuriri, raised and taught my mum, growing up in the ngahere(bush). Nature was our keeper of knowledge, and it held the wisdom of our ancestors. The Creation stories are handed down so that we would not forget the principles held in the House of Tipuna (ancestors).

Aotea Traditional Massage provides conventional and traditional Maori massage therapy in a peaceful and calm setting. We partner with other medical professionals to offer short and long-term care for you and your whanau.

 

This is my passion. To share the knowledge so we may use the ways of our Tipuna (ancestors) to enrich ourselves both physically and spiritually.

 

Learning about our techniques will help your whanau to thrive while helping to preserve the teachings and wisdom of our Tipuna for years to come.
