Awaken The Healer Within. Sunday 26th of October 2025. 9am-7pm. 8 Karamea Road, Mangonui. In The Studio @ House of Rehua.

To keep the Mauri sacred there will only be 6 spaces available

Rongoā Māori is more than plants or massage – it is a sacred remembering. This one-day wānanga is an invitation to reconnect with your tūpuna wisdom, to awaken the healer that has always lived within you, and to walk gently upon the whenua in a deeper state of awareness.

You will be guided by Ramari Ana — Conduit, Creative, Alchemist, Greenthumb, Knowledge Sharer, Space Holder, Student of the Universe, and Rongoā Lover — ki raro i te korowai tapu o Io Taketake Te Waiora.

As kaitiaki of Otanguru Wellbeing Centre and part of the Te Hiku Rongoā Collective,

Ramari holds a grounded and heart-led space where ancient knowledge meets the present moment.

Together, we will explore:

✨ Rongoā Foundations — the many forms and how they interweave

🌿 Plant Identification — meeting native plants, their mauri, and their healing uses

🤲 Mirimiri — the art of healing through bodywork

🔮 Mahi Wairua vs. Mahi Matakite — Spiritual and energy healing vs. mediumship, explored safely in sacred space

🎶 Ororangi o Te Whe — frequency and sound healing to realign mind, body, and spirit

📓 Sacred Workbook + Journal — your companion for reflection, learning, and practice

🎁 Gift Bag — a bundle of meaningful treasures prepared especially for you

🌊 Sauna + Moana Dip — a cleansing and whakanoa experience with The Sauna Project Tokarau, followed by a nourishing shared dinner to close the day

Nourishing kai will be shared throughout the day — morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a closing dinner after sauna and moana.

This is a wānanga of learning, but also of remembering.

It is a chance to walk back into the embrace of your tūpuna,

to reconnect with the medicine of whenua and wairua,

and to leave carrying tools, experiences, and insights that ripple through your life long after the day is done.

You Will Leave With

🌿 Confidence and Mātauranga – A deeper trust in yourself and the knowledge to begin serving your whānau in safe and meaningful ways.

🌿 Understanding of Whakapapa – A grounded awareness of the whakapapa of Rongoā, and how its many forms interconnect.

🌿 Practical Skills – The foundation to begin creating simple plant medicine products (such as balms, oils, and wai rākau) for yourself and your whānau.

🌿 Spiritual Tools – Karakia for cleansing, protection, and healing, and the sense of safety and guidance you need to stand in your gifting.

🌿 Energetic Alignment – Experiences in mahi wairua, mahi matakite, and sound frequency that realign your body, mind, and spirit.

🌿 A Sacred Journal + Teachings – Resources that you can return to again and again to continue your journey beyond the wānanga.

🌿 A Gift Bag of Mystery Goodies – Special treasures chosen to support your path (kept secret until the day).

🌿 A Nourished Self – Kai for your tinana, healing for your wairua, and perhaps even a new friend or two to walk alongside you.

By the time we close, your kete will be full — of knowledge, experiences, taonga, and the kind of healing you can return to again and again.
