    ORO ATUA is a continuing practice and modern revival established in 2003 utilising Taonga Puoro as a powerful mode of Rongoā Māori. Oro Atua is based on a Tupuna practice and adapted for current times and the challenges our people face.

    Simply put ORO is the sound vibration and ATUA refer to our Atua Māori that sing through each Puoro, creating an orchestra of nature to help reconnect our people to the natural world. Each Taonga Puoro hold the resonance and vibration of the different parts of our Taiao opening the door to oneself and ultimately creates time and space for reflection, self healing and for solutions to arise in this fast paced, time poor, modern world we live in.

    Through sharing the sounds of our whānau collection of Taonga Puoro (over 50 different instruments) in combination with modern , high quality sound technologies ( Bose & Tc Helicon) we bring together the old and the new. We also utilise pūrākau, ruruku/karakia and waiata relating to each Taonga Puoro and varying Atua Māori. Together these Taonga tuku iho hold keys and solutions to the challenges our whānau face.
    We are able to facilitate ORO ATUA at Marae, outdoor spaces, town halls, community centres, schools, hauora or runanga office spaces, business/corporates along with online Zoom options. We are flexible and our main requirement is that whānau can sit or lay down somewhere comfortably with enough space to listen and feel relaxed.

    We have a range of options for you to choose from. Please contact us for more details.
