SUMMARY:Rongoā Māori with Joanne Hakaraia-Olson
DESCRIPTION:Join Joanne Hakaraia-Olson for a one-day rongoā Māori workshop\, and learn to harvest and prepare rongoā (remedies) that carry the mauri (life force) of the ngahere (forest). \nYou will learn tikanga\, customs and rites observed\, rongoā of specific plants\, how to enter the ngahere with guidance and care\, and how to make wairākau (tonics)\, hinu (oils) and poultices. This workshop is suitable for beginners\, and participants will get to take away their balms. \nPlease bring a plate of kai for a shared lunch. \nThis free workshop will have a waitlist activated\, so if you have booked a ticket and are unable to make it\, please cancel your order so your spot can be allocated to the next person on the waitlist. \nSupported by the Whau Wildlink and Whau Local Board. \nAbout Joanne Hakaraia-Olson\, Rongoā Mauri Studio \nJoanne Hakaraia-Olson (Ngāti Raukawa\, Ngāti Whakaue and Ngai te Rangi) is a Rongoā Māori healer who carries the legacy of her tūpuna as kairongoā. She was born and raised in Ōtaki\, Aotearoa\, and was nurtured by the Tararua Ranges and the waters of the Ōtaki and Waitohu rivers. Since moving to Tāmaki Makaurau in 2010\, she has considered Te Wao Nui a Tirawa\, the Waitākere Ranges\, her greatest teacher. This connection is woven through her whakapapa to the Tainui waka. She works alongside her husband Nick Olson in running the Rongoā Mauri Studio in West Auckland\, through which she offers Rongoā Māori services.
