About this listen

Ki te kotahi te kakaho ka whati, ki te kapuia, e kore e whati

When we stand alone we are vulnerable, but together we are unbreakable.

See the world differently, through some of the wisest of human eyes.

Discover traditional Maori philosophy through 52 whakatauki - simple, powerful life lessons, one for every week. Each one is retold by respected Maori psychiatrist Dr Hinemoa Elder to show how we can live a less stressful daily life, with more contentment and kindness for each other and the planet.

Find out how the power of aroha can help you each day and through its many meanings - fundamental Maori values - make a happier world for everyone.

Chapters include:

  • Manaakitanga (love for each other)
  • Kaitiakitanga (respect for our planet)
  • Whanaungatanga (community and connectivity)
  • Tino rangatiratanga (self-determination)

I have the audible and a physical copy, which sits on my nightstand, the most powerful act I feel I do to set my day and to close my day is to close my eyes, flip the pages and land on a page, the page always resonates, I feel empowered, connected, grounded.

This is a lovely journey into te ao Māori for all people of Aotearoa New Zealand and the world.

The simple yet deep and encompasing energy of intergenerational wisdom and passing on of the rākau the stick from one era and onto the next where time connects us in the world we inherit and leave.

Ka mau te wehi. I loved listening to Whāea Hinemoa in this way.
