Manāhau Embodied Movement is a bold, decolonising practice led by Kaia Hawkins, a trained facilitator grounded in te ao Māori. This isn’t just movement—it’s a radical reclamation of body and spirit, breaking free from colonial conditioning and reconnecting with your innate mana. Through transformative wānanga, you’ll be guided to embody your truth, foster deep connection, and stand in solidarity with a whānau committed to collective healing. If you’re ready for a potent mix of fierce movement and tūturu connection, join us. This is where the real work begins. Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui

Movement is mihi—it's how we greet the world with our full selves, acknowledging our whakapapa, whenua, and wairua. Embodiment practices are essential because they reconnect us to our bodies, breaking down the disconnect that colonisation has imposed. Decolonisation and reindigenisation are inseparable; one dismantles the harmful systems that suppress, while the other revives the ancestral wisdom that sustains us. Through movement, we reclaim our stories, honour our tīpuna, and realign with the rhythms of Papatūānuku. This practice isn’t just healing—it's resistance, an act of sovereignty where we reclaim space for our bodies, our cultures, and our future generations
