Māori Ora - Your Guide to Using Traditional Māori Knowledge to Live a More Intentional Life

Ma te mohio ka marama, ma te marama ka matau, ma te matau ka ora. Through knowledge comes understanding, through understanding comes wisdom, through wisdom comes wellbeing. Engage with key aspects of matauranga (knowledge) - manaakitanga (hospitality and kindness), kaitiakitanga (care and connection with the land), mauri (life force), rangatiratanga (self-determination), tikanga / kawa (customs and behaviour) and whanaungatanga (relationships). Matauranga has a past, a present and a future, and throughout this pukapuka you will learn how to apply matauranga every day to create your own stories of change and growth, with space to record your own unique reflections of the journey you wish to go on. This pukapuka is easy to use - take as little as a few minutes to fill in each day or reflect more deeply and spend a little longer. Kei a koe te tikanga, it is up to you. Build a bridge between matauranga and the modern challenges of today to cultivate wellbeing, and purpose and live a more complete, happy and harmonious life. Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro, nona te ngahere. Ko te manu e kai ana i te matauranga, nona te ao. The bird that partakes of the miro berry owns the forest. The bird that partakes of knowledge owns the world.
