What is it about?Â
There are a number of different people this wananga is for. Â 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". Â 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.
This three day wananga is practical and is the foundation of identifying, understanding, developing and moving in matekite. Â
What does the curriculum cover?
There are three modules taught at Matekite.
MODULE ONE: Â
The focus for this module is toÂ
- identify your preferred modality - hearing, seeing, knowing
- learn how to develop these modalities further in a safe environment
- History and our loss of matekitetanga in society
- what is Wairua? Â How do we flow with it? Â Recognising blockages in ourselves
MODULE TWO: Â
The focus of this module is to Â
- Establish a daily practise to connect with and move in wairua
- Recognising wairua with clarity - how to know it's wairua and not you
- Foundations to "readings"
- How to be in the community without getting overwhelmed
- Putting your giftings into practice / confirmationsÂ
MODULE THREE: Â
The focus for this important module is toÂ
- Learn the boundaries of wairua - operate within them
- Safe practice - for yourself and others / integrity / authenticity
- How to find a mentor to continue to develop your gifts
- Finding your own blockages and releasing them - whakawetewete
Cost for the wananga
The fee $1,400 + GST to attend this wananga. Â The majority of this fee goes to the marae for the hirage, the catering and accommodation. Â Â Some people may opt to stay off site in their own accommodation. Â On the registration page you can select that option. Â However, the marae has a policy that no one can prepare food off site and eat on the premises, neither can we do the catering ourselves. Â Therefore, all meals are prepared by the marae. Â Part payments are available!
