This wānanga is now fully booked out
Haumanu Collective will host an immersive Taonga Pūoro Wānanga at Pukemokimoki Marae, hosted in partnership with Ngāti Kahungunu. This will be a journey into the healing vibrations of taonga pūoro in this free three-day gathering filled with learning, storytelling, and connection.
Taonga pūoro are more than instruments – they are voices of the whenua, whispers of our tūpuna, and powerful tools for healing and connection. This wānanga, themed “Taonga Pūoro: He Rongoā”, will explore the deep restorative power of sound through:
🎶 Pūoro Making – Craft own taonga pūoro to take home.
📖 Pūrākau & Whakapapa – Learn the ancient stories and histories behind these instruments.
🎼 Composition & Playing – Develop skills in playing and composing with taonga pūoro.
🌿 Pūoro from the Taiao – Experience the natural environment’s influence on sound.
💬 Wānanga & Kōrero – Share in discussions about the revitalization and future of taonga pūoro.
