Rangi Parauri Training - Becoming a Mataora
The Rangi Parauri package is designed to meet the needs of individuals, teams and organisations who work as practitioners in helping professions and want to become a Mataora (change agent).
Mataora develop their own pukenga (skills) by embedding the Mahi a Atua principles in their lives. Because they prioritise oranga whakapapa (bringing our stories to life) a Mataora is trained to share pūrākau with whānau to reconnect whānau to their own stories.
Training involves
Online Lesson time with responsive email and Matataki support
Facilitated by several Mataora
Creativity and fun is an essential part of our wānanga
Moko artists, musicians and romiromi/mirimiri practitioners will be available to engage with during our wānanga
Support from a team of Mataora with Mahi a Atua facilitation expertise. These experienced practitioners are present to guide discussion, foster peer connection and provide feedback on your assignments.

Are all the pūrākau from Ngati Porou?
