THE ART OF RONGOA IS NOT JUST SOMETHING WE DO, BUT WHO AND HOW WE BE IN THIS WORLD.

WE ARE IN CONSTANT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WORLD AROUND AND WITHIN US.

WHEN WE WORK IN RELATIONSHIP, WE FLOURISH.

RONGOA IS THE ART OF CONNECTION + RELATIONSHIP.

IT IS A WAY OF NAVIGATING THE WORLD. THROUGH DEEP LISTENING. SENSING. FEELING AND COLLABORATING WITH THE MAURI OF A PLANT, A PERSON OR A PLACE. RONGOĀ IS A FORM OF ONENESS + RESTORATIVE HEALING, SO THAT ONENESS CAN RETURN AND ALWAYS REMAIN INTACT. REFERRING TO THE WHOLENESS OF A PERSON. TAHA TINANA, TAHA HINENGARO, TAHA WAIRUA, TAHA WHANAU. ALL OF THESE PARTS OF US, MAKE UP WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE NEED TO BE BALANCED IN THIS HUMAN EXPERIENCE TO THRIVE.

WE USE RONGOA AS A WAY TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THIS WORLD.

A WAY OF GENTLENESS WITH ONESELF AND ANOTHER. A WAY OF DEEP LISTENING, CARING, SENSING AND FEELING WHAT IS NEEDED. SOMETIMES OUR PRESENCE IS ENOUGH. SOMETIMES IT IS KORERO/TALKING AND LISTENING THAT IS REQUIRED. SOMETIMES IT IS HANDS ON BODYWORK, MIRIMIRI OR ROMIROMI. WORKING WITH THE BODY, BREATH AND WAIRUA. THAT WE NEED TO HELP SHIFT AND MOVE PAIN FROM THE BODY + SOUL AND ALWAYS THIS…

FEELING LOVED, HEARD, SEEN SAFE AND CARED FOR IS THE BEST MEDICINE OF ALL

THROUGH THE NATURAL PROCESS OF CREATION, ALL IS BIRTHED THROUGH TE KORE. THE REALM OF INFINITE POTENTIAL. THROUGH THE VOID AND LIFE’S LONGING FOR ITSELF.

EVERY SEED OF CREATION WAS BORN THROUGH THIS DARKNESS AND POTENTIAL FILLED REALM. SIMILAR TO THE WOMB OF THE MOTHER. WE REFER TO TE KORE AS THE WOMB OF CREATION. EVERY SEED THAT HAS TAKEN FORM IN THE REALM WE RECOGNISE TODAY AS TE AO MARAMA/THE HUMAN WORLD OR WORLD OF LIGHT - WAS FIRST SEEDED IN THE WOMB OF CREATION.

ALL MOVED THROUGH VARIOUS STAGES FROM TE KORE, THROUGH TE PO, ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE LIGHT. TE AO MARAMA IS BORN, NOT JUST OF THE LIGHT BUT OF THE INFINITE DEPTHS OF CREATION. EVERYTHING WE SEE IN THE PHYSICAL FORM, HAS FIRST TAKEN IT’S ROOTS IN THE NON-PHYSICAL WAIRUA REALMS.

AS A RONGOA PRACTITIONER, WE LEARN HOW TO TRANSMUTE ENERGY. HOW TO RELEASE AND UNLOCK THE CELLS THROUGH VIBRATION, AROHA AND KARAKIA… RETURNING THE PHYSICAL BACK TO THE NON-PHYSICAL WHEN REQUIRED AND ONES NATURAL ESSENCE RESTORED THROUGH MANA ENHANCING , SOUL NOURISHING TREATMENTS AND PRACTICES.

WE HOLD EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF CREATION WITHIN US. THE REALMS OF THE NATURAL WORLD ARE ALSO ASPECTS OF OURSELF. RONGOA TEACHES US HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REQUIRED TO FIND THE BALANCE. IT TEACHES US TO LISTEN. TO BE IN THE VIBRATION OF PEACE. OF AROHA AND UNDERSTANDING ALWAYS.

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED AND RELATED WITHIN AND AROUND ONES OWN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT. THERE IS NO SEPARATION.

EVERY PERSON HOLDS WITHIN THEM, THEIR OWN GIFTS, SKILLS, TOOLS AND TALENTS. THEIR OWN NATURAL ESSENCE, MAURI AND WAIRUA.

RONGOA HELPS US TO DISCOVER THOSE GIFTS AND UNLOCK POTENTIAL. FOR NOT ONLY HEALING, BUT WAYS OF BEING AND FLOURISHING ALONGSIDE ONE ANOTHER IN THIS WORLD.

RONGOA ASKS THAT WE WORK IN UNION. WITH A GROUNDED BODY AND HUMBLE HEART. ABLE TO SENSE, FEEL AND UNDERSTAND. OUR HANDS BECOME TOOLS TO GUIDE, TO SUPPORT, TO NURTURE, NOURISH AND CREATE WITH.

THE WAY I PRACTISE RONGOA, IS HOW I CONNECT AND RELATE TO MY CLIENT. HOW I TREAT EACH AILMENT. HOW I UNDERSTAND FIRST - THE IMPORTANCE OF ESTABLISHING SAFETY, TRUST AND RECIPROCAL COLLABORATION IN A TREATMENT, SESSION OR WANANGA SPACE.

NO ONE IS THE ‘HEALER’, RONGOA PRACTITIONERS ARE MERELY FACILITATORS OF YOUR OWN ABILITY TO HEAL.

HEALING IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE FEEL SAFE. WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO LET GO, OF ALL THAT IS NOT OURS TO HOLD OR CARRY.

WHEN WE FEEL SAFE TO OPEN TO WHO WE TRULY ARE. THAT TRUTH IS LOVE. AROHA. THE VIBRATION OF SOURCE AND THE ONE THAT ALWAYS, ALWAYS HOLDS US.

WE ARE MULTIFACETED, MULTILAYERED, MULTIDIMENSIONAL BEINGS HAVING A HUMAN EXPERIENCE, LEARNING HOW TO BE WHO WE TRULY ARE. KAITIAKI. GUARDIANS. PROTECTORS AND GARDENERS OF THE SEEDS OF CREATION.

MY TEACHERS HAVE ALWAYS TAUGHT ME TO STAY IN THE VIBRATION OF AROHA. THAT LOVE IS THE STRONGEST MEDICINE OF ALL.

THAT OUR BODY HOLDS SUCH WISDOM, AND HAS THE POWER TO HEAL ITSELF.

VITALITY IS OUR NATURAL WAY OF BEING.
