Written by South Pacific Students, Talia M. & Madeleine N.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past week we had our final stretch outside of Raglan with the M\u0101ori. We spent time with knowledgeable M\u0101ori community members, Tiaki and Madisyn. We also spent two days at the home Rob and Rangi Marie who combine many Native American and M\u0101ori beliefs and customs.<\/p>\n

What have been the three highlights of the week?<\/h3>\n

🏄🏽‍♀️ Our group surf expert, RJ, taught the group how to surf. And we caught some waves in Raglan, the top surf spot in the nation.<\/p>\n

🌱 Tiaki took us on an afternoon \u201cright of passage\u201d journey. Which many M\u0101ori young adults take part in as a transition from childhood to adulthood, that addresses inner growth and fundamentals of emotional maturity.<\/p>\n

💧 We experienced the sacred ceremony of a sweat lodge. We helped to assemble the structure and heat the\u201dgrand(mother\/father)\u201d stones. And took part in the challenging and rewarding experience.<\/p>\n

Growth comes with challenge – what are some of the challenges you’ve overcome this week?<\/h3>\n

\u201cMaa te wa\u201d is a fundamental aspect of M\u0101ori lifestyle, which was very present in our experience. We often didn\u2019t know what each day would hold until it was actively happening. This made it challenging to plan and prepare, but allowed us to fully embrace living in the moment.<\/p>\n

What are you grateful for this week?<\/h3>\n

We have been very grateful to have such immersive experiences in the M\u0101ori culture. We have been welcomed into communities like family and have been able to learn so much through first hand experience. We appreciate the vulnerability shown by the M\u0101ori community and will take home what we have learned into our own lives.<\/p>\n
