Coming to WOMBARRA, NSW. The foundations of MIRIMIRI AND ROMIROMI -
authentic Maori bodywork and healing. Connect to cultural knowledge
and practice! Gain insight, rediscover your potential and experience
personal transformation at this unique 2-day event! This WORKSHOP IS
FOR ANYONE; from beginner to practitioner.Authentic Mirimiri is a
powerful indigenous healing modality. This is often in contrast to the
widely held misconception that it is merely another form of massage.
Learn cultural concepts of health and wellbeing; including the
importance of self-care. You will be given the tools and confidence to
utilise Mirimiri not only as a form of healing for yourself and
others, but as a way of life.
Jolie Davis is an established traditional practitioner and educator
(formally a trained nurse) from Te Rarawa/Ngati Kuri. She has recently
relocated from Rotorua where she was an established Kaimirimiri and
Injury Specialist.
You will be immersed in the foundational concepts of Mirimiri and
Romiromi, such as floorwork, Haemata (pressure points), Whatumanawa
(intuitive guidance) and use of the natural environment (Papatuanuku);
traditional tools such as Rakau (sticks), Kohatu (stones), waiata
(song), takutaku (traditional chant or prayer). Many people experience
their own personal healing and transformation during this time.
The workshop is also useful for people who work as counsellors, social
workers, health workers and clinical practitioners looking to expand
their cultural understanding and by doing so engage more effectively
with Maori and whanau.
Suitable as an introduction for beginners, or established Kaimirimiri/
practitioners looking to develop their knowledge around the bodywork;
so that you can begin working authentically towards reclaiming
wellness for yourself and others.
