Kia ora/Greetings
The field of Maori counselling knowledge is growing rapidly. The recognition and intellectual activation of Maori counselling knowledge today can be viewed as an act of self-determination. Maori tutors/lecturers have been at the forefront of affirming and creating holistic pedagogies relevant to Maori counselling practice. The success of Maori counselling programmes is due to the efforts of those who create (and continue to create) Maori-based curriculum. In this post, we are honoured to showcase 3 powerpoints relevant to both Maori counselling practice (skills and theories) and an insight into a decolonising discourse. David (Rawiri] Waretini-Karena compiled the material for the powerpoints drawing from a number of sources. Rawiri is currently the Senior Te Whiuwhiu O Te Hau Maori Counselling Tutor/Lecturer based at WINTEC (Waikato Institute of Technology, Hamilton, NZ) and teaches on the Bachelor of Applied Social Science programme (Maori Counseling Endorsement). The powerpoints can be viewed at the following sites:

Kia ora / Greetings all
My name is Rawiri (David) Waretini Karena and I am a Tutor / Lecturer for Te Whiuwhiu O Te Hau Maori Counselling at Waikato Institute of Technology in Hamilton NZ.
I began my journey in Te Whiuwhiu in 2001 after spending 10 years working for AVP Alternatives to Violence Project NZ mainly with violent Maori men in prisons. I graduated with my Degree in 2004 and have been teaching Te Whiuwhiu O Te Hau Maori Counselling since. I have also just completed a Masters degree in Commercial music, and I am hoping to start a Phd in 2009. I am currently working at a music type therapy that could be incorporated into Te Whiuwhiu. The aim is to use music as a tool to connect to feelings. Another tool we are looking at including is Hauora Tinana, or Beauty Therapy.
We invite all those perspective students who are interested in learning counselling practice from a Maori/ indigenous paradigm especially in terms of wanting to be effective with Maori / indigenous peoples as our Paradigms are alot closer than western world views.
We start our intakes about October 2009 and any people interested can call me 07) 834 8800 extension 8515
All the best for this new year
Kia tau te rangimarie
Rawiri
