N\u0101u te rourou, n\u0101ku te rourou, ka ora ai te manuhiri – with your food basket and my food basket, the guests will be fed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always a pleasure to spend time with our NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) students from USA. They come with mixed culture, backgrounds and experiences that brings a diversity from within the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always begin within “Te Whare-o-T\u016b” so as to draw out their “reo haka – war cry” to activate “te ihi” from within. Creating “k\u014dtahitanga – oneness” within the roopu is also important especially as they will be spending a month tramping together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearing the “parapara – debris” from modern-day living is also essential before we delve into “Te Whare-o-Rongo” i.e. sharing concepts, wair\u0101kau and taonga p\u016boro brings about a “zen state” which also helps to awaken the senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe one of our main objectives is to help our overseas guests to “slow down” in their thinking so as to be able to tune into “te taiao – the living environment” hei oranga m\u014d te tangata – to bring health and welbeing to the person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ko te reo M\u0101ori te kaipupuri o te M\u0101oritanga = The M\u0101ori language is the purveyor of the M\u0101ori culture…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
