He Aronga Rongoā

Kei aku nui, kei aku rahi

Join Ngati Poneke Māori Arts in celebrating Matariki at Pipitea Marae.

Immerse yourself in a week filled with traditional and contemporary Māori events, art, culture, and community.

“He rongoā kei aku ringa. There is medicine at the end of my hands.”

Join us at Pipitea Marae for an empowering session with Cherene Neilson-Hornblow as she guides us on a journey of hauora through the power of rongoā, traditional Māori healing. This interactive demonstration will focus on Hine Takurua, the winter maiden, and the rongoā available during her season.

“There is medicine right outside of our doors; we don’t need to head to the chemist for all our medicines.” - Cherene Neilson-Hornblow.

This event is part of Te Whakanui i a Matariki, proudly hosted by Ngati Poneke Maori Arts. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more information on our other events: @ngatiponekemaoriarts.
