Waiora — he hononga whai kiko ki tō tātou taiao
Ko te ‘Waiora’ he hononga ā-tinana, ā-wairua ki tō tātou taiao, ki ngā wai, ki te whenua, ki te hau takiwā anō hoki. Ko te ‘Waiora’ tērā e tohu atu ai ō tātou hononga, ā-whakapapa nei ki tō tātou taiao. Mā te rapu ara ki te taunaki i te hauora o te taiao, ka kitea hoki te whakareihanga mai o ō tātou ake hauora.
“I love going for walks along the beach – just having the wind and listening to the sound of the waves, it’s really grounding and it’s just beautiful.”

He ara e tūhono ai ki tēnei whetū
- Me rekareka koe ki ngā whiringa e whai wā ai koe, e ako ai rānei koe ki waho, me pāinaina ki ngā hihi o te rā, me rongo to kiri ki te puhinga o te hau angiangi, me noho rānei ki te whakamarumaru o te rākau. Hei ētahi wā ko tētahi āhuatanga waingōhia pērā i te whakarongo atu ki te tangi a te manu te take e manahau ai koe.
- Me ako tonu, me whakawhānui hoki tō tirohanga ki te ao mā te ruku atu ki te kura huna o rātou mā mō te whakapapa e ai ki te mātauranga Māori. Ka whakaatuhia ngā hononga i waenga i a tātou katoa, ā, ki te taiao anō hoki.
- Ina e taea, whakaritea he wāhi ako pūmau e marutau ana, e mahana ana, e pūaho ana kia rere ai te hihiri o te ngākau pai ki ngā pito katoa o tō wāhi ako.
“Nature plays a big part in my wellbeing, especially for my mental health. Juggling study and mahi at the same time, things can get overwhelming. Being out in nature brings a sense of calm to my wairua.”
