A vision for the future of rongoā Māori.

A future where Rongoā Māori stands strong in its full mana — not in anyone’s shadow, but as a sovereign expression of mana motuhake, mātauranga, whakapapa and wairua.

A future where the whole person is cared for — physically and spiritually. Where healing is guided by tikanga and deep connection to whenua and tūpuna and;

* Rongoā Māori is recognised & protected not only in lore but also by law

* It enjoys equal resourcing alongside other forms of healthcare

* Communities understand both its strengths and its limits

* Healers stand confident in their mātauranga

* Rangatahi are supported into paid, respected apprenticeships

* Collaboration among healers overcomes competition

* Tikanga are nurtured and cared for by leaders in the field, not others

* Informed, discerning whānau choose practitioners with awareness

This is a future where Rongoā lives, breathes and thrives — restoring balance, mauri and hope for all people and our whenua.
