"Haka For Life" - A Matariki Workshop

Matiu has over 20 years experience as a Māori language and performance teacher, he is an engaging facilitator, dynamic international musician, playwright, storyteller and a leader amongst his own communities.

This interactive workshop will cover traditional Māori practices including the warrior energy of haka (traditional power dance), the hongi (sharing the breath of life), story, the art of introduction, song, and more.

This workshop also covers several simple yet extremely powerful masculine/feminine practices that are profoundly honouring, healing, connecting and empowering. The impact from this is currently sending waves around the planet.

We will deal with light and shadow. This workshop is suitable for anyone up for real growth.

Participants will leave with ancient yet practical tools to support them in the way they stand, speak, listen, connect and move powerfully through this life.

These are some of the things we’ll be diving into together in this workshop.

Matiu's approach is welcoming, inspiring, fun, safe and empowering.

Part of Artworks Theatre's Motu Matariki Festival funded by Foundation North.
