Hauora (wellbeing) Print

Buy 1, Give 1 - for every Hauora Print you purchase we will gift the same item to an organisation or charity working with whānau in need.

This print centres around hauora and draws from the whare tapawhā model for wellbeing which of the 4 sides of your house to tend to in order to build and maintain hauora (health) in a holistic way.

These tapa (sides) are:
tinana - physical, wairua - spiritual, hinengaro - mental, and whānau - relational. 

We drew from these whakaaro to come up with this print as a way to remind ourselves of the small steps we can take towards looking after ourselves, and by extension those around us. Our thinking was to offer ideas or suggestions that are accessible - you don’t need an expensive spa day or the latest gadget to be kind to yourself. 

Whānau
Awhiawhi: share a hug or two with your nearest and dearest 
Kai tahi: share a meal 
Tuku mihi: show your appreciation for one another 

Tinana

Inu wai: drink some water 
Whakatā: rest 

Wairua
Āta haere: slow down 
Puta ki waho: go outside 
Noho puku: sit quietly/meditate 

Hinengaro
Tuhi whakaaro: journal (which basically means write stuff down - it doesn’t need to be complicated!) 
Wānanga: engage in meaningful conversations 
Kia auaha: get creative 

Hei oranga ngākau - to find comfort 
Hei pikinga wairua - to lift spirits
Hei tānga manawa - to find respite

We’d love to see where you hang these - home, office, kura, marae and beyond - and to hear which of these whakaaro resonate with you, and what else you do to tend to your whare tapawhā. Tag us on instagram and Facebook, and use #ahomai so we can journey together.
