Aroha Flow Wānanga Announcement ✨️

Tiana Te Moana

Of Rongoa nga Mata 🌿

Tiana is a Rongoā practitioner and kaiako based here in Ōtautahi.
She is Tūhoe and is from the Te Urewera region in Te Ika-a-Māui. (North Island of Aotearoa).

Tiana is a long-time tauira of Maramataka, the traditional Māori lunar calendar. As a kaitiaki (guardian) of
te taiao (the natural environment) she shares her knowledge and kōrero on Maramataka to encourage us to have a deep respect for the environment and an understanding of the
interconnectedness of all living things.

At Aroha Flow, Tiana will guide us on an evening Maramataka wānanga under the starlit sky. We can't wait! ✨️

Tiana and her whānau are long-time supporters of Aroha Essence Festival and have also been part of our wāhine circles at

Beltane Blessings 🔥

Some celebrate this sacred day on the traditional date of today October 31st and some on the exact date which this year is on Friday 7th November. My personal practice is to go with the exact date but I think of today as the portal opening and geez the energies are already big!!

Beltane is a Sabbat, 1 of 8 sacred days marked on the Wheel of the Year. It has ancient roots with celebrations held around the world, all with a similar theme focusing on the coming of Summer & the new energies this season brings with it.

Some don't follow the wheel of the year as they prefer to follow the cycles and nature here in the southern hemisphere. I love the Sabbats - it's like a magickal check in/realignment that kinda keeps me on track, I also feel the connection with my Ancestors who came over here from Scotland 6 generations ago.
Having said that, I do have a have a deep love for this beautiful country and I tune in daily to current energies - so I blend the wheel of the year (based on NH traditions and timing) with what's actually happening where I live.

The moral of this is - go with what feels right for you, your practice is your own 🙏
