Te Tairāwhiti- Te Kahui Rongoā Inaugural meeting 4.30pm - 6pm at Cosmopolitan Club Gisborne

03/11/2024

Relocating to another whenua is very stressful but fulfilling in One.

1st November my cousin's mokopuna came up from Mahia and took my Miss Xmas (Ole female pig) across first to settle her in. Miss Goldie Hen misses Miss Xmas very much.
There's nothing on the land yet.
Over the weekend i would go over to allow my Angels (pet Rednoses and Whippets) to get use to, we even slept in the van there so Miss Xmas can settle as well.
3rd November those same mokopuna came and dropped off timber to build the shelter.
Today's plan is go see these companies to rent a cabin in Gisborne plus Larskeys for a longdrop.
The goal is moved over completely by the 14th November 2024.

AGM Te Kahui Rongoa o Aotearoa held at Mataatua marae in Whakatāne on Saturday.
Group of 16 of us registered members of the Te Tairawhiti arrived Friday by 5pm without any accommodation made so Marie Stewart had to book us in. Apparently the bookings were canceled because we didn't come for the Expo, that started Thursday.
I came under the Trust to represent.
Tuwhenuakura Trust will need to start the relationships where to possibly be an important Trust for Tūpāpakurau Rongā. So far I understand AIA Trust (Homai Hoatu) will be part of the relationships.
I look forward to having communications with the Tairawhiti branch of Te Kahui Rongoa.

There's a Deed and we will go through the Deed and open to recommendations.

This Trust was created to protect and support those who were doing Rongoa Māori and Wairuatanga alike. Supporting your practice towards healing.
Also protect www.tupapakurau.co.nz and Requiem Healing.
This became a framework of categories of those practices you would be under Requiem Healing Internationally.
