Reindigenization & Te Ao Māori

Program Overview

The fundamental values and beliefs within an indigenous framework have the power to shift our thinking, connecting us in a deeper way with nature, our ancestors, our communities and ourselves. By engaging with an indigenous perspective we can decolonize from a Western colonial mindset and reindigenize our ways of thinking and being in the world. Through Te Ao Māori, the ancient Māori world, we open a doorway to re-discovering our own indigeneity and connection to nature, re-membering the parts of ourselves that we have forgotten. As we embody indigenous culture through song, dance/movement, chant, ritual, prayer/incantation and Māori cultural values & beliefs, we re-discover our connection to our own ancestry and activate the pieces of ourselves that we have disconnected from.

Reciprocity Contribution

As we look towards creating a new world, one important way to ensure continued growth and engagement with our communities is establishing a practice of sacred reciprocity contribution where individuals may support the participation of current and future participants who may not have the same capacity. We recognize most mainstream events and programs like ours are priced at levels far out of reach for many in our community. As a result, we have made our events and programs accessible to all by inviting participants to enter into a relationship of sacred reciprocity to share support with others on the path. 

 

We welcome the following tiers of contribution to consider for this program: 

Benefactor Tier:                 $310

Benefactor tier supports full contribution for a fellow community member. 

Spiritual Friend Tier:         $230  

Spiritual Friend tier supports partial contribution for a fellow community member. 

Supporter Tier:                  $155

Supporter tier supports most of the program/event costs.  

Community Builder Tier: $100

Community Builder tier is reduced to support your sustainability.

Understanding the challenging times, we trust you to attend to your needs and ask you to consider meeting yourself wherever you are financially, with the least amount of harm possible. Please consider contributing according to your ability and to the greatest extent that feels personally meaningful for your circumstances, with the benefit of others in mind. No one is turned away for lack of funds. If you need other support or arrangements, please reach out to info@braidedwisdom.org. 

Thank you for your consideration and continued support. We believe liberation is a collective path that thrives on meaningful relationships and mutual sustainability and sacred reciprocity. We appreciate your collaboration to expand these offerings to more beautiful beings in our community! 

At Braided Wisdom we strive to build an online environment that creates a safer container for all. Part of creating a safer environment is asking for participants to have their cameras on during class time. If you have an access need around this request, please reach out to info@braidedwisdom.org so we can discuss how best to support you.
