Ancestral Intelligence

Me anga whakamuri kia koke whakamua ~ Looking to our past, to determine our future

Our Ancestral Intelligence (A.I) embodies a sincere reverence for ancestral wisdom and values passed down through generations. Weaving this shared, collective and sacred cultural wisdom into our modern lives. It embraces thoughtfulness and interconnectedness of all beings and elements of nature. Through nurturing relationships with our communities, and the natural world, we honour the legacies of our ancestors while championing this responsibility for the future generations.

This conscious approach involves slowing down, tuning into nature's rhythms, and recognising the tohu, the signs all around us. By integrating indigenous ways of life and holding hands with the past, we cultivate a harmonious relationship with nature. Fostering adaptability in the ever-changing world and resilience. Through careful planning and purposeful movement, we strive to ensure a regenerative future for all, mindful that while climates change, our commitment to Caring for Creation remains steadfast.
