Te Hoeroa ki
Tu Manawa Ora

Kia mau, kia rite, hoea!

Embark on a six month rangatahi adventure of self-discovery and empowerment. Journey from mountains to sea and develop the confidence and courage to navigate the river of life. 

Delivered in partnership with Te Oranganui, Healthy Families WRR, Te Ao Hou Marae and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi

November 2023 - May 2024

​

Te Hoeroa ki Tū Manawa Ora is a six-month action-packed, outdoor course that offers rangatahi the opportunity for transformation and development through deep engagement with whakapapa, te taiao, Te Awa Tupua, Te Kahui Maunga and Te Ao Māori. 

​

Te Hoeroa will take place in marae and taiao contexts. It will involve wānanga, adventure, camping, working with the land and waterways, growing and hunting kai, building, exercise and wellbeing practices, and expeditions from mountains to sea.

​

This rangatahi-led programme will build up skills and capabilities within rangatahi, with wrap-around support and mentorship. Rangatahi will be exposed to diverse people, stories and opportunities - building their personal confidence, cultural capability, and enabling them to navigate confidently toward their personal, hapū, iwi and community aspirations.

Learning Approach

Our holistic learning approach integrates layers of personal wellbeing (Mauri Ora), group wellbeing (Whanau Ora) and Place wellbeing (Waiora) - combining education with health to bring life to learning.
