From the best-selling author of Aroha, Wawata, Waitohu and E Moko Dear Moko, comes a unique exploration of how to think about thinking, rooted in the wisdom of Māori culture.
Dr Hinemoa Elder introduces us to a profound journey guided by Hinengaro, Māori goddess of the mind, leading us through 23 specific rua, caves, into the unfamiliar depths of Papatūānuku, our earth mother, and back to the surface again.
Hinengaro offers us a dedicated path to gather insights, face challenges and help us navigate the complexities of our minds.
Ara: A Māori guidebook of the mind is a resource for anyone seeking some comfort and clarity amid the chaos of our life’s path. Travel through this mind map navigating growth and discovery.
Join Dr Hinemoa Elder’s quest through these ancient rua and learn about the many gifts and lessons Hinengaro has waiting for you.
