M te mhio ka mrama, m te mrama ka mtau, m te mtau ka ora. Through knowledge comes understanding, through understanding comes wisdom, through wisdom comes wellbeing.
Engage with key aspects of mtauranga (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).
Mtauranga has a past, a present and a future, and throughout this pukapuka you will learn how to apply mtauranga 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 mtauranga 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, nn te ngahere. Ko te manu e kai ana i te mtauranga, nn te ao. The bird that partakes of the miro berry owns the forest. The bird that partakes of knowledge owns the world.
