Wā Hine Ora — Wānanga 5/8 | Growing Rangatira, Growing Futures
On Monday we gathered again for our fifth Wā Hine Ora wānanga — another powerful step in this year’s journey of healing, growth, and whakapakari for our wāhine. Each session has taken us deeper, but this one… this one felt like watching seeds finally push through the soil.
What stood out most wasn’t just the learning — it was seeing our own whānau step boldly into their roles as facilitators and kaimahi. They’re not just “leading sessions.” They’re rising into rangatira — people who carry themselves with purpose, compassion, and the courage to uplift others.
At Te Hapori Ora, our processes aren’t about making leaders who stand above.
They’re about growing rangatira who stand with.
And while Te Hapori Ora has carried the bulk of the training, we also acknowledge the many trusted spaces — mentors, organisations, kaumātua, and even members of our own personal whānau — who have poured into our team. Every voice, every shared lesson, every safe space we’ve exposed them to has helped shape the facilitators they are becoming today. That’s the beauty of our kaupapa: it’s woven from collective effort, whanaungatanga, and genuine care.
Watching our people flourish under the guidance of our founders and the wider network around them…
kei te tino poho kererū mātou.
We are proud in the deepest, most grounded way.
As we continue this Wā Hine Ora series — and all the kaupapa within our whare — we extend an open-hearted invitation:
If you’re seeking wellbeing, connection, growth…
If you’re looking for a place where you can learn, breathe, and be fully yourself…
If you’re searching for a home where you truly belong…
Join us.
Explore any of our wānanga series as part of your own journey toward ora and whānaungatanga.
Because here, in Te Hapori Ora, we don’t just build programmes.
We grow people.
We grow families.
We grow rangatira.
Mauri Ora!
