What is Nature Communication? An indigenous practice shared across cultures…

Since their earliest days, our ancestors knew intuitively how to communicate with non-human beings including plants, animals and beyond. They were in touch with Nature and this is where they got a lot of their knowledge from around harvesting plants for kai, medicine and more. Even today, this ability is still within us, but many of us have been disconnected from it by modern systems and ways of living. Karakia is one form of communication with the non-human world that is used in our rohe today.

In this workshop, we will have the unique opportunity to hear from Saskia von Diest, a renown South African teacher of Nature communication (https://www.ecofluency.org/). Saskia teaches simple exercises anyone can use to relearn this ability, regardless of cultural background or experience. Her teachings provide a framework for those who want to deepen their connection to te taiao but haven’t had access to the knowledge to do so.

It is our belief that sharing this knowledge, while honoring its roots and the connections between cultures, can heal the sense of disconnect between humans and Nature.

The workshop is hosted by Roots Land Community, a new kaupapa in Hokianga facilitating reconnection and healing through ancestral holistic practices, outdoor education, and ethical cross-cultural exchange.

We open with a powhiri at Moria Marae at 9am. Throughout the wananga we open up the field for discussion around understanding Saskia’s teachings in a te ao Maori context, connecting the dots with Maori matauranga. Local kaumatua will be present to offer insights.
We welcome all cultural perspectives and encourage respectful dialogue so that we can learn from each other.

Are you ready to take your relationship with the taiao to a deeper level? Join us as we reconnect to the wisdom of our ancestors, be they Maori, European, South African, or other. Learn how to use nature communication in your everyday life – be it in the mara (garden), the bush, or simple daily routines for a healthier, more holistic way of living.
