Learning a language is the art of making the subconscious conscious again. It is the reawakening of what is already intrinsic in our day-to-day rituals & routines. Te Reo Māori and Tribal Identity is not a course but rather a conscious state of mind and being, constantly being defined, solidified, redefined and improved. It has been passed down through the millenniums until now, this very moment.
Join our weekly evening classes designed to immerse you in the richness of Te Reo Māori and Ngāi Tuperiri histories and gain insights into Maramataka (the Māori lunar calendar). Enhance your language skills and cultural understanding with Toi Reo.

Programme Overview:
Tūātea o te reo
Maranga mai rā e ngā kiriūka o Te Waitematā, ki Te Reo Tūātea o Ngāti Whātua.
Kia whai tokitoki tātou i te rētōtanga o te reo me kore e riro mai ngā taonga matapopore i waiho mai ai e ō tātou tūpuna. Ko te wawata ia, kia whāngaihia atu ngā taonga ki te kahu o te wai e tū wehi kore ai ngā uri katoa i te au tuke, ānō ko te tūātea o te ngaru. Nā reira, waiho atu nā te pene me te pepa, ka kuhu mai ai me tō arero koi, hei hoa haere mōu.
Kotahi nahenahe te paearu mō te tono mai, arā, me mātua puta tō ihu i Te Tuakiri o te Reo.
