This year Te Runanga o Aotearoa invites members to an immersive, interactive gathering grounded in the richness of Mātauranga Māori and the mana of our collective journeys being unapologetically Māori.
This year’s wānanga is not just a conference — it is a call to come home to ourselves.
An interactive movement in collaboration with Toi Māori.
Theme: Mauri oro, mauri reo, mauri ora
A return to vibration, voice, and wellbeing through the lens of Mātauranga Māori
Mauri oro – Te Pū o te Ira Tangata
The first vibration begins in the body — in the breath, in the womb, in the knowing. It is the soft activation of life force, like the breath blown into taonga pūoro. This is our connection to origin, to the unseen spaces where creation stirs. Mauri oro acknowledges the energy within us all — wahine, tāne, and everything between — that resonates with the echoes of our tūpuna.
Mauri reo – Te Mana o te Reo Māori
From vibration, voice emerges. Our reo gives shape to thought, feeling, and identity. Whether expressed in karanga, whaikōrero, waiata, or quiet kōrero — every voice carries mauri. Mauri reo reminds us that our voice is not only communication; it is affirmation, resistance, and reclamation. Through our voices, we express our connection to each other, to our taiao, and to the legacy of those who came before us.
Mauri ora – Te Hau Oranga o te Tangata
Wellbeing is more than survival — it is alignment with our environment, our language, and our whakapapa. Mauri ora calls us into fullness. When we speak our truths, honour our bodies, and stay rooted in Mātauranga Māori, we nourish not just ourselves, but our whānau and our hapori. It is a collective movement of healing and thriving as Māori.
Bring your voice. Bring your mauri. Bring your unapologetic self
We’ll see you in Te Rotorua-nui-a-Kahumatamomoe
