Te Whare Tangata
Explore breathing, kai, movement, sleep, emotional awareness, wairua and reflection through this seven-day Hands Up workbook, developed from our Te Whare Tangata programme.
Originally developed in 2020–2021, Te Whare Tangata draws on mātauranga Māori. This updated participant edition includes revised safety guidance and flexible activities for different needs. It preserves Maanu Paul’s original attributed kōrero as a historical programme contribution.
