Whiria Te Ao
“Weaving the Worlds for a better future”
What is Whiria Te Ao?
Whiria Te Ao (weaving the world for a better future) provides culturally responsive solutions for individuals, groups, and organisations in their pursuit of cultural awareness and competency.
Our vision as servants of te ao Māori is to weave both cultures Māori and non-Māori for a better future. We are enriched daily and believe sharing this nourishment will navigate GLOBAL WELLNESS through a Māori lens.
Whiria Te Ao’s core business aides in the vital retention and maintenance of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga through a number of online and face to face packages for those in their pursuit of mātauranga Māori.
We tribute our growth, and development to the Māori world and together with additional threads to be woven into the whāriki (mat) Pā Tours Rakiura will mount Whiria Te Ao into an evolving universe as a general empire for generations to come, as amplified in our Ngāi Tahu whakataukī.
