Original Medicine 4-Part Series: Reindigenizing Through Te Ao Māori with Amelia Butler

Reindigenizing through Te Ao Māori

Reindigenization is necessary for us to break through the oppressive and destructive systems that exist within the Western world. By reconnecting to an indigenous worldview we create profound and lasting change in our relationships with nature, our ancestors, our communities, each other, our selves, and, for the world.

In this session we will explore the ancient wisdom of the Māori people, the indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand), as a pathway to our own reindigenization journey. Through looking at the world from a Te Ao Māori (Māori cultural) perspective, participants will experience a new way of connecting with self and the world around them.

About The Original Medicine 4-Part Series

This program is a psycho-spiritual cross-cultural mindfulness approach to the teachings that weave together Indigenous Wisdom, Mindfulness, and Earth-based practices in order to integrate seasons and the transitions between the seasons as cross-cultural mindfulness tools. In Indigenous societies, there are long-standing practices of honoring the sacred, cultivating stillness, embracing silence, being in nature, and conducting rituals to acknowledge the coming changes in the world around them and within themselves.
