Wednesday (night) Wānanga
IRAAIO wānanga and workshops offer a Mauri layered journey — like tracing the current of our wai back to its source. These wānanga move beyond the physical touch of mirimiri and the mapping of pressure points, inviting both kaimahi (practitioners) and whaiora (recipients) to rediscover themselves through the flow of wānanga. Grounded in tikanga and kawa, each gathering becomes a Waka of Mauri, where life rises from the stillness of Te Pō and guides us into Te Ao Marama.
Wānanga
The journey of self-discovery and healing at our Wānanga start here. Restore balance and harmony to your body, mind, and spirit. Ira AIO wananga offer you the opportunity to deepen your understanding of Mirimiri, Romiromi, Kōrero, and Self-development to unlock the power within. Join us and be part of a community that supports your growth and connection.
Through guided self-discovery, cultural reconnection, and holistic healing, you’ll strengthen your connection to self and wairua, all within a safe and supportive whānau environment.

IRAAIO
Within a sacred space of learning and remembrance, we return to the power of karakia — to call upon our whakapapa, to honour the presence of the atua, and to acknowledge IO as the source from which all flows. Our wānanga are a pathway of reconnection, where each participant is supported to reclaim and live their own divine essence.
Through te mahi — the sacred work — we move with intention, activating our whatumanawa, pūmanawa, and manawa. This is not about striving, but about remembering. About standing in our birthright of connection — to wairua, to whenua, to ngā rangi tūhāhā — and carrying that awareness into the way we live.
At IRAAIO, each wānanga is a return. A return to mauri. A return to whakapapa. A return to being. To be! Through karakia, pure, tohi, and the sacred rituals of our tīpuna, we embody the wisdom passed down through generations. This is not something we learn — it is something we remember
