#41 - What healing wisdom awaits when we study the ancient maps and walk deeper into the forest? Join us for a wonderful conversation with Rongoā Māori Healer Joanne Hakaraia on the mauri, or life force, of plants and how she connects with the primordial wisdom and energy that comes from being in the ngahere (forest). In this episode, Joanne shares an incredible honoring of her ancient lineage with the traditional healing plant medicines of Aotearoa New Zealand. She also offers insight into how she works with the waka or energetic vessel, to help guide people into a deeper way of connecting, knowing, and working with the plants. Joanne Hakaraia is a Rongoā Māori Healer and Māori wahine born and raised in Ōtaki, Aotearoa. She is tangata whenua of Aotearoa. The Tararua ranges and the Ōtaki and Waitohu rivers raised her. She walks with her ancestors exploring the land and working with the mauri of plants. She created a waka, an esoteric vessel, to navigate her way through the ngahere (forest). One tree at a time. She gathered a roopū (group) and studied the trees that protect the ngahere. Then went further into the ngahere and studied the Rākau Rangatira (The Older trees). Connecting to the mauri of plants and sharing that knowledge for healing is Joanne's life purpose. She has dedicated her life to working with and studying plants.You can find Joanne and subscribe to her newslettter at: https://www.rongoamauri.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/rongoamauri/facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rongoamauriYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JoanneHakaraiaFor more info please visit Sara's website at: https://www.multidimensionalnature.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/multidimensional.nature/facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saraartemisia.ms/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@saraartemisiaLearn how to communicate with plant consciousness in the free workshop on How to Learn Plant Language: https://www.learnplantlanguage.com/
