Te Kahu Ora

Service Description

A nourishing, full-day ritual weaving ancestral medicine around your tinana, hinengaro, and wairua. Through mirimiri, rongoā medicine, native plant body steaming, and the sacred markings of the uhi, our whānau invites you to journey through our papakāinga. Together, we will prepare your vessel and etch the stories of your lineage into your kiri. The flow of your day We will gather early, gently after the rising of Tamanuitera, at our pūre spot for a fresh water swim at our puna. After warming the body with our rongoā brews, we will begin clearing the tinana. Fasting only with rongoā rākau throughout the day to allow for deeper, lighter work while the vessel is empty of kai. Together as a whānau, we will weave into your toto lines, exploring the markings that are ready to be revealed through intentional whitiwhiti kōrero. Shifting deeper into the body, you will receive a native copper bowl foot soak and kawakawa scrub, followed by a deep full-body mirimiri massage, a native flower herbal body steam, and warm kawakawa poulticing. Grounding back into your body, Ava-Rose and Sheyenne will begin the process of your markings, channeling the placement, size, and ancestral downloads meant for you, your stories, and the lineage you gather with today. To close our ceremony and lift the tapu, we will share a nourishing, warm meal together to celebrate you. All kai is grown organically with love in our māra. Please let us know of any dietary requirements. Spaces for Te Kahu Ora are deeply sacred and strictly limited. No session is the same this outline is a gentle guide of how your day may unfold. Please send us an email to kōrero further. Ngā mihi nui, Sheyenne, Wikitoria & Ava-Rose
