Rongoā Wānanga 15th - 17th March 2024 Waikohatu Marae, Okataina

Kai ngā pū, kai ngā take, kai ngā weu, kai ngā more, kai ngā pia, kai ngā aka, kai ngā taura, kai ngā tauira, kai ngā wānanga. Kōtau katoa e rongo nei i te karanga o Tāne te Wānanga, Tēnā kōtau.

This is an opportunity for Tarāwhai descendants to wānanga with other people who love being in the ngahere and want to dive deeper into understanding Te Waotū-Nui-ā-Tāne.

Doesn’t matter if you’re a long term practitioner of rongoā, a sometimes makes yourself a kawakawa tea kind of person or you can’t tell a kawakawa from a kahikatea. If you have an affinity for the bush - then this is the weekend for you.

We’re keeping the wānanga to about 20 people to make it a manageable number in the bush so aroha mai but - First Come First Served. Of course our tamariki are welcome if you need to bring them.

Because this wānanga will include tauira at the beginning of their rongoā journey we will focus primarily on tikanga and plant identification. Mōre kōrero around application and preparation will be covered in later wānanga. For now, doing a deep dive on identification, learning to recognize the correct rākau and learning tikanga is the main focus.

The wānanga promotes an open forum and encourages everyone attending to be both teachers and students, seek opportunities to compare notes with other practitioners and offer their perspectives and deepen our understanding of the topic or plant we’re focusing on.
