Hakaranga
Grandmothers Healing Haka Tour 2012
3rd – 12thFeburary
Northland, Aotearoa - New Zealand
Ko te Haeata, karanga mai karanga atu.
Ko te Kapura, te hihiri, te uaua, te mana.
Ka whakaoho ki te wairua ki te Ao Marama.
Tihei Mauri Ora!
Be called far and wide by the new dawn.
The power of the fire arises and stirs.
Be awakened by spirit in the full day light.
Breathe the life!
This ten days journey Hakaranga is the “Calling of the Weaving Fire”.
Follow the Karanga home to Aotearoa "land of forever radiant light", and join together for this cultural immersion journey. Awaken to the Haka that lives in the land and in the Maori culture. Receive the messages in the beautiful nature that rekindles the spirit.
Experience with us the great gathering of Maori people in Waitangi during the Waitangi celebration on New Zealand’s national holiday.
On our jouney we visit the 90-Mile beach to play, sleep and dream together in a beautiful carved Marae. And from there following the ancestor path we visit "Te Rerenga Wairua", the most northern point of New Zealand, where the souls dive beneath the water to return home to Hawaiki Nui. We have also the chance to enter one of the most ancient forests to meet Tane Mahuta’s Kauri tree family.
We shall see sacret places and enjoy magical beaches, learn to dance the Haka, sing Maori Waiata, make our own Poi, learn to weave, gather seefood, eat Hangi and experience the Maori healing technique of Romiromi and Mirimiri.
We will experience Whanau/family time and enjoy this journey together as a global Whanau/family.
