Te Wā o te Ngākau “Time for the Heart”
Relational Offering to Rongoā Māori Healers and Elders
Rongoā Māori is a sacred, living system of healing carried by Māori communities in Aotearoa—woven through land, lineage, and relationship. It is not just a set of practices, but a way of being, knowing, and tending to the health of people, waters, forests, and future generations.
In deep gratitude for the presence, wisdom, and guidance shared by Māori elders and healers in the making of this film, we are offering 50% of all proceeds (after costs) back to their community. This is not a donation to a fixed project, but a humble act of redistribution—trusting Māori custodians to use the funds in ways that nourish the long arc of Rongoā Māori, as they choose and in their own time.
This gesture honours an ongoing relationship and recognizes the enduring generosity of those who keep sacred healing alive in the face of colonization and extraction.
