Mauri Hauora is the wisdom teachings of the Maori Tohunga. These teachings were suppressed by the Tohunga suppression act of 1907 which is still active legislation.
Mauri Hauora provides a framework for how Maori understand themselves and their place in the universe, their relationship to whanau, iwi, hapu and humanity as a whole. It is a model for how Maori approached problems at all levels of the individual and the community and created solutions.
Mauri Hauora provides you with insights into how Maori understand life, death, living, working, eating, play, education, intuition and spirituality. It is the Maori world view that existed prior to colonisation: the Maori view of the origins of the universe, their beliefs, philosophy and psychology.
Mauri Hauora can be used in teaching, counselling, communication, conflict resolution, anger management, personal growth, problem solving, setting goals and orienting for success.
Mauri Hauora could be considered an alternative discourse to the dominant discourses of achievement and success through the exercise of agency. As we are microcosms of IO and IO is perfect always then we are perfect always, just as we are. Mauri Hauora, as an alternative discourse, could be used to trouble the dominant discourse.
