Tupuna Parenting

Empowering whānau with mātauranga


Tī Wana has proudly partnered with Tūpuna Parenting to bring this kaupapa to our Mura whānau. Together, we’re offering a safe and supportive 8-week parenting course, inspired by te ao Māori, that celebrates the knowledge and practices of our tūpuna while supporting whānau today.

This kaupapa is a free parenting course delivered through weekly wānanga. Guided by tikanga Māori and pūrākau, it will focus on:

  • Strengthening whānau connections

  • Building practical parenting skills

  • Exploring how te ao Māori can support everyday whānau life

Creating space for kōrero, reflection, and shared learning
