“ it was extremely inspirational and I got quite
emotional and teary-eyed feeling through all of the videos. It’s just perfect.
So beautifully shot/filmed, you can really see/feel Donna’s wairua and love for
Papatuanuku and rongoā Maori. It brings the person ‘home’ it brings a
‘remembrance’. I got a deep feeling of belonging to the whenua/land. It felt
like a very welcoming space. That all were welcome not just Maori or indigenous
and there was no separation between race”

“I feel taken to the bush from my home. The content was so engaging, so enjoyable and found myself learning and enjoying it thoroughly! For me, I feel like learning about Rongoā Māori, especially the core te ao Māori foundations has been such a great personal and leadership development experience - giving me tools to better manage and support the wellbeing of myself and those around me, and to better lead, bring the best out of others, act in mana-enhancing ways, feeling greater reverence for Papatūānuku. What a great gift this course is to so many people”
