Grandmothers Healing Haka Charitable Trust
Since the 2nd of May 2010 Grandmothers Healing Haka is an Incorporated Charitable Trust in New Zealand that is carrying out different projects.
It all started with the worldwide known dance of Grandmothers Healing Haka, which was written by Ojasvin Kingi
Davis and his Grandmother Mere Te Wake Tana.
For the last seven years Grandmothers Healing Haka is traveling worldwide and has become an Integral Learning Programme containing many elements with different dances, songs, exercises, meditations and teachings.
It imparts wisdom and love from the tradition of the Waitaha-Maori grandmothers, the water carriers, to encourage people to remember their own cultural roots and to connect to their own source of strength. This can be a help in this critical time of big changes.
The Trust Projects
- Grandmothers Healing Haka Integral Learning Programme: To help people find back their own roots, their sense of life, the connection with mother earth and nature.
- Research on renewable energies, permaculture, earth building, and sustainable living. To also help Maori people build their own affordable homes on family land.
- Grandmothers Healing Haka Tohunga Tours of Initiation through the north of the North Island of New Zealand or in other lands by invitation.
- Eco-clothing with Mauri/life energy designs for a dignified life.
Mauri images -> high Energy
Fair production -> high Energy
Eco material -> high Energy
This creates a multiplication of creative energy and a better life.

Testemonial from the Grandmothers Healing Haka Seminar
Karen D. Hamilton, Knoxville, TN USA 5/25/11
I attended the Grandmothers Healing Haka on May 13-15, 2011 at Gypsy Hands Healing Arts Centre in Knoxville, TN. The weekend was a life-changing experience for me.
Ojasvin and Iris created a safe, protective, loving space for us to come out of our heads and into our bodies and hearts, connecting with the Divine. They are masters at creating rituals that call us into the present moment while also connecting us to the past. They created an experience where we felt like we were on an amazing trip to New Zealand, learning about their culture and beliefs, without having to leave Knoxville, TN.
Through the Grandmothers Healing Haka, they teach the power of the Divine and pure, unconditional love.
I felt an invitation to be fully present and fully in my body and spirit. I felt very safe and protected. For the first time, I owned my own Power instead of hiding it, which was life changing. I will never go back to hiding or being afraid to be who I really am.
I learned what it is like to fiercely guard and protect myself from negative influences; to be conscious to whom and what I give my energy.
They also created a safe space for me to share about a heart-breaking experience that had been weighing me down. Their loving response helped me to continue to heal the pain and move on. This amazingly rare experience is so much more than a workshop or a seminar. It is healing in its fullest form. No amount of money can reimburse Ojasvin and Iris for the remarkably generous gifts they share. I feel so blessed to be a part of it, and I’m so excited to see what comes next on my journey.
