Understanding and Developing Matekite.

This wananga is offered to individuals who want to know more about their spiritual gifts and how to begin to develop them in a safe space. 

Thursday 22nd February 8.30am - Sunday 25th February 10.30am

There are a number of different people this wananga is for.  Perhaps you are one of the following?

• You wonder if you are matekite (you see things, experience things, hear things, know things etc) and you want to understand  what you experience
• As a child you had spiritual experiences but because you had no one to make sense of these things, you "turned it off".  Now you feel drawn here again and want to know more.
• You have moments when you are in the "Zone" but feel it happens randomly, not all the time and want to know how to develop it more.
• You have been using your matekite gift and want to develop it to help others
• Or you just KNOW you have to attend this wananga - you don't know why - you just know you need to

Some of the interactive topics that are covered in this wananga are:

• identify your preferred modality - hearing, seeing, feeling, knowing etc - 12 senses
• learn how to develop these modalities further in a safe environment
• History and our loss of matekitetanga in society
• How do we flow with wairua and release blockages in ourselves so we can help others
• Recognising wairua with clarity - how to know it's wairua and not you
• Putting your giftings into practice / confirmations
• Learn the boundaries of wairua - operate within them
• Safe practice - for yourself and others / integrity / authenticity
