Reindigenizing our Enviroment and Healing Spaces through Toi Māori
TOI & WELLBEING PROGRAMMES
At The Ahipoutu Collective, we offer transformative toi and wellbeing programmes that draw on mātauranga Māori, toi Māori, Māori pedagogies, and evidence-based research. These programmes can be delivered on a living papakāinga—ancestral lands where the environment and stories of our tūpuna shape the learning experience.
Through hands-on engagement with indigenous knowledge and practices, people reconnect with themselves, their communities, and the natural world around them.
Ahipoutu ringa horanui, Ahipoutu tohunga o te manaaki!
The akoranga that the team provided to our class was a wonderful way to connect and wānanga with our kōrero tuku iho and express creativity while honouring tikanga and kawenga. It truly felt like a celebration of identity. In a short amount of time, our kids finished four art pieces that reflect our kura values, which are now displayed in our main hall, and they learned so much in the process as well. Ahipoutu, tēnā koutou!
