My understanding of mana is deeply rooted in its essence as a force of transformative power and intrinsic dignity. Mana is not something owned but rather something inherited, nurtured, and expressed through our actions and relationships. It flows between individuals, whānau, whenua, and atua, shaping and being shaped by the choices we make.

At its heart, mana reflects the strength and integrity of one's character. It manifests in selfless actions that uplift the collective and honour whakapapa. It carries a sense of responsibility to uphold and enhance the vitality of others and the environment.

I see mana as closely linked to how we embody our values—through compassion, courage, and respect. It is a sacred energy that holds the potential to influence, inspire, and create positive change when grounded in humility and aroha.

Mauri Ora

Mauri ora is often understood as the state of flourishing vitality, a life force in balance and well-being. It signifies more than physical health; it reflects spiritual, emotional, and mental harmony. It embodies the essence of life itself, full of potential and growth, connected to hope and the pursuit of a meaningful existence.

To be in a state of mauri ora is to live in alignment with one's purpose, deeply rooted in relationships with whenua, whānau, and atua. It speaks of a life lived consciously—where one's mauri is nurtured and protected, allowing for resilience, healing, and the flourishing of mana.

Light filters through the fractured parts of me,
Seeking roots within the wounds of my soul.
Life, ever persistent, continues to unfurl.
