About this Waananga

This waananga is to introduce and awaken you to the philosophies and practices of Whare Wānanga Lore and Traditional Māori Healing.


This 5 day foundational course will cover the dynamics of Takutaku, Kaupare and Whatumanawa, Mirimiri and Romiromi . The awareness and importance of self reflection and healing. This Waananga builds the foundation in order to enter these sacred healing realms confidently.

 

The 5 days together is about developing spiritual awareness and the importance of spiritual safety for both the kaimahi/practitioner and the whaiora/client. It will provide you with the tools to understand, navigate and stimulate your spiritual growth and consciousness not only within the mahi of Mirimiri/Romiromi but also within your everyday life. You will leave the 5 days confident in a basic Mirimiri/Romiromi alignment as well as feeling a rejuvenated sense of energy and passion for this mahi. 

What will be shared: 

  • A Mirimiri/Romiromi bodywork alignment and have the opportunity to build your skills and confidence daily.

  • Dynamics of Takutaku and kaupare

  • Puurākau stories of Nga Atua and Māori esoteric wisdoms.

  • How energy becomes infused within the kaupapa of Mirimiri and Romiromi.

  • The physicality of energy - how it is sourced, how it’s channelled and how it is absorbed from the kaimahi (practitioner) through to the whaiora (client).

  • Understanding the energies doing the mahi (work), the intentions that go into doing what we do and the application and how it applies.

  • Accessing the Whatumanawa (spiritual heart/third eye), strengthening our own connection to self and intuition to enhance healing.

These 5 days provide a foundational of level one bridging into level two, where the physicalisation and transition from Mirimiri into Romiromi is enhanced.

This waananga will provide you with the tools you need to reflect in self healing and practice safely when working with whaiora, Wairua, Tīpuna and Kaitiaki whether that be in Mirmiri and Romiromi or your daily life and interactions.

The philosophies are taught and translated in Te Reo Māori and English. You do not need to have any prior understandings of the Māori language.

You will meet and connect with other like minded souls as-well as have the opportunity to continue training in various training clinics located in Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula. 

This waananga is open to all, Māori and non-Māori. The whakapapa of this waananga is through Whare Waananga  Lore passed down by Papa Joe -Hohepa DeLeMere to Ruatau Perez. We ask that those who come do so with an open heart and mind.

 

In order to uphold the integrity of this Mātauranaga anything shared during this waananga is for deeper philosophical understanding, deeper connection to self and wairua and practical application in this mahi of Mirmiri and RomiRomi. It is not to be ‘re-taught’ or reproduced in any form without explicit whakai/permissions. No videos or voice recordings to be taken please.
