Why We All Have Sacred Healing Work To Do And How To Do It | Sharlene Maoate-Davis | TEDxKapiti

Learning from te taiao (the environment), Sharlene finds joy in ushering in Rongoā - customary Māori healing wisdom, knowledge and practices. Some might say I’m totally unemployable. Some might classify me as a self-employed wāhine, Māori business owner with a couple of decades experience. For myself, I would rather say, I was born with an innate ability to see & harness the big potential in others. The rest I’d put down to my journey from birth to here.

Distinctions aren’t something you give yourself so I’d have to leave that call to the people I serve.

However, I would have to say my journey as a Kaupapa Maori facilitator across the health, social, cultural and education sectors has lead me back to my true life purpose & passion.

Rongo-ā Māori ~ traditional Māori healing and well living.
More specifically the revitalisation of ancestral & tribal healing through Rongoā across the greater Wellington region. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
