Discover Rongomamau: The Māori Art of Balance

Experience a rare opportunity to learn with Umutakarangi, the last living knowledge keeper of Rongomamau and a clinically trained Family Therapist, as he shares practical tools for releasing tension, restoring resilience and finding balance through breath, movement, self-growth and healing.

For the first time, many New Zealanders are being invited to experience Rongomamau: an ancient Māori martial-healing art once used to prepare the body, mind and spirit for pressure, conflict, recovery and restoration.

In this practical hybrid community session you can learn simple physical tools to help reset and regulate your nervous system, release tension, restore energy and respond to daily stress with more steadiness and strength.

You’ll be guided by Umutakarangi Timoti Pahi, the last living knowledge keeper of Rongomamau and a clinically trained Family Therapist, who brings together ancient Māori wisdom and modern therapeutic understanding to support healing, self-growth and resilience.

Rongomamau was once forced underground after the Tohunga Suppression Act of 1907 and passed on in secret. Now, Umutakarangi is bringing this living knowledge back into the community, so it can help people navigate the pressures of today’s fast-changing world.

Whether you are carrying stress at home, pressure at work, tension in your relationships, or simply a sense that your body needs a better way to cope, this session will give you tools you can use in everyday life.

Join in person to experience the physical tools directly, or connect online as part of the wider community.
