The holistic Health Model
Te Whare Tapa Whā
Was developed by leading Māori health advocate Sir Mason Durie, in 1982.
It uses the concept of a traditional wharenui / meeting house and its pātū e whā / four walls to illustrate the four human dimensions to balanced hauora / health and toiora / well-being.

Hokia ki ō maunga kia purea ai koe e ngā hau o Tāwhirimātea
Return to your ancestral mountains to be cleansed by the winds of Tāwhirimātea
An important way of healing and grounding ourselves in times of crisis is to return to our maunga / mountains, our moana / ocean, our awa / rivers or waters, and our whenua / land to cleanse and replenish ourselves. Taha Wairua refers to spiritual awareness and the conscious care of one’s wairua / spirit, soul.
