• House / team naming & logo design — rename houses or teams and create logo files + basic brand notes (print & digital).

• Waiata & songs — original waiata or chants, with recordings and lyric sheets tailored to your group.

• Brand & identity support for organisations — simple identity packs and guidance on using te reo and tikanga in your comms.

We provide clear, practical advice to leaders, boards and managers. Our role is to guide you — helping with strategy, governance, tikanga and projects so you can make confident decisions and get things done.

• Strategy & planning — setting priorities and simple roadmaps.

• Cultural integration — practical advice on tikanga and embedding te ao Māori.

• Project & programme advice — review, design and delivery options.

• Stakeholder guidance — how to engage with iwi, hapū, whānau and community.

• Leadership coaching — short mentoring sessions for leaders and staff.

• Te Reo Māori support — help with developing pepeha, mihi, whai kōrero, karanga for staff or leaders.

• Pōwhiri Preperation — planning, briefing prior and/or on-the-day support for kawa, waiata and whai kōrero and/or karanga. We can liaise with kaumātua/elders and attend on the day to coordinate logistics and make sure the pōwhiri runs with tikanga and dignity.

Bring your group together with an energetic kapa haka show followed by a range of practical activities everyone can join. Participants try poi, tī rākau, mau rākau (safely), basic carving, and explore Māori art — all led by experienced kaiako who make learning active and enjoyable for all ages.

These workshops support staff and leadership teams to deepen their understanding of cultural identity, tikanga and wellbeing — and to apply that learning in everyday practice. Sessions combine korero, reflection, practical activities and planning so teams leave with tools and an action plan they can implement.
