Taruna is delighted to host Wiremu Sarich as he offers this three-day Papa Takaaro workshop. Wiremu is a leading exponent of Ngā Taonga Taakaro. He uses fundamental principles of indigenous methodology to activate sensory awareness. Through simple instruction, political activity and observation he challenges conventional thought processes to facilitate participants’ understanding of connection to themselves, others and the natural environment. You will leave with renewed ways of working with the students in your care.
