‘Ihi’ are source vibrations, ‘orooro’ is sound. ‘Taonga Ihi Orooro’ is a Māori Sacred Sound Practice and developing body of knowledge that gives expression to the source vibrations of the universe. They soothe the soul, comfort and inspire the mind, and give hearts ease to our personal-collective bodies and being.

Experience the healing power of Wānanga — a traditional Māori approach to mauri ora (healing, learning and wellbeing) that nurtures the tinana (body), inspires the hinengaro (mind), and warms the power, presence and movement of our wairua (natural life-essence).

In this wānanga – tikanga, te reo, karanga, karakia, waiata, māramatanga and mātauranga curate a resonant, re-vitalising, healing/learning ‘trans-formance’ (transformative performance) experience of Taonga Ihi Orooro.
