Te Hīkoi Whakamana is an innovative AOD initiative designed to transform the recovery journey for individuals and whānau in our community. Grounded in mahi wairua, Te Hīkoi Whakamana uses a holistic, whānau-centered approach focusing on educating whānau with elements of Te Whare Wānanga, restoring mana, fostering resourcefulness, and supporting sustainable recovery.
Through a unique blend of mahi wairua, evidence-based therapy and NLP, Te Hīkoi Whakamana offers powerful and immediately applicable intervention that reduces the impacts of intergenerational trauma i.e. addiction.
This wānanga offers a continuum of care starting with Te Hīkoi Whakamana, whakawetewete ritual and the building and strengthening of the hinengaro ensuring that each person’s journey is supported by their whānau, peers and the wider community.
Through this unique integration of cultural, clinical and community, we create powerful pathways for participants to rebuild their identities, reclaim their lives, break cycles of addiction and achieve lasting change that is grounded in strength and purpose. After the completion of Te Hīkoi Whakamana, participants are able to register for additional wānanga that we offer, particularly in relationships, wealth creation, health and wellbeing.
