What if you could deepen your understanding of Aotearoa by connecting more deeply with te ao Māori? 🌿

Ollie from Schneider Electric shares his experience of Te Kaa — and we couldn’t ask for a better reflection of what the programme is about.

Te Kaa is about creating space to learn, ask questions, be curious and build a deeper understanding of Māori culture, tikanga and te ao Māori.

It’s about moving beyond awareness to genuine connection — and, ultimately, falling in love with the richness of Māori culture. ❤️

We’re proud of the impact Te Kaa is having with organisations across Aotearoa, and we’d love to help more people and teams begin their own journey.

Curious about Te Kaa? We’d love to hear from you.

Precious is an absolute powerhouse, how does this lady manage to do everything she does 🔥🔥🙌🌟

He mihi maioha ki a Precious Clark, The Tindall Foundation's newest Trustee.

Of Ngāti Whātua, Te Uri o Hau, Waikato, Ngāti Hē, Ngāti Pāoa and Pākehā descent, Precious brings a wealth of governance, philanthropy, and te ao Māori expertise to The Tindall Foundation.

With a background in public policy, law and strategy, Precious is the founder of Maurea and creator of Te Kaa, a Māori cultural competency programme that has inspired thousands of people in Aotearoa and around the world to learn, understand, and fall in love with Māori culture.

Alongside her work, Precious serves on the boards of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Trust and Whai Māia, and chairs the Māori Advisory Board to Auckland Museum. Her previous governance experience includes Foundation North, Whai Rawa Ltd, Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Board, the Centre for Social Impact, and the Independent Māori Statutory Board.

Precious is deeply committed to intergenerational wellbeing, the revitalisation of our environmental mauri, and building a just and harmonious Aotearoa where Te Tiriti is honoured and all who call this place home - tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti alike - can thrive together.

Nau mai, Precious. We are grateful to have your support and stewardship.

Mānawatia a Matariki ✨

As the Matariki stars rise, we are invited to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

Matariki is a time to remember those who have passed, celebrate the present with whānau and friends, and set our intentions for the year ahead with hope and purpose.

This year’s theme, Matariki Herenga Waka – “The Gathering of Canoes,” reminds us of the strength we find in coming together. It is a celebration of unity, connection, and the many journeys that bring us alongside one another.

At Maurea, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Matariki. May this season bring reflection, renewal, and opportunities to strengthen the relationships that matter most.

Mānawatia a Matariki.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. ✨

Today, Maurea turns 14! 🎉

Fourteen years of walking alongside people, organisations and communities, helping create workplaces where Māori can thrive and where meaningful partnerships can grow.

To every participant who has trusted us with their learning, every organisation that has invited us into their spaces, and everyone who has supported and believed in our kaupapa over the years — ngā mihi nui ki a koutou. We simply couldn’t have reached this milestone without you.

Like any journey, it hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Building a values-based business comes with its challenges, but we’ve always believed that if you stay true to your kaupapa, lead with integrity, and keep people at the heart of what you do, the path will continue to unfold.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have a team whose knowledge, lived experience, passion and commitment allow us to support others on their own journeys. Every conversation, workshop, webinar and partnership is made stronger because of the people behind Maurea.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re also excited about what’s ahead. There is still so much important work to do, and we’re grateful to continue that journey alongside all of you.

Here’s to the last 14 years, and to the many more to come.

Ngā mihi nui,
The Maurea Team 💙

❤️ A day of learning, connection, and meaningful kōrero ❤️

Today, our CEO, Precious Clark, had the privilege of delivering a Te Tiriti session for the long-standing alumni at Southern Cross.

It was an inspiring day filled with thoughtful questions, genuine curiosity, and active participation. Seeing people engage openly, challenge their thinking, and contribute to rich discussions is exactly what these sessions are all about.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and embraced the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Te Tiriti and its relevance in today’s workplaces and communities.

We appreciate the warm welcome from Southern Cross and look forward to continuing these important conversations.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who made today such a success.

🎬 Webinar Recap 🎬
A huge thank you to everyone who tuned in to Maurea's webinar, hosted by CEO Precious Clark. It was fantastic to see so many people joining the discussion and contributing thought-provoking questions throughout the session.

A special thank you to our guest speakers, Amy from Amy Tea Consulting and Gina Rangi, Chair of Tūaropaki Trust, whose combined experience, expertise, and knowledge provided invaluable insights into the do’s and don’ts of incorporating Māori cultural practices into recruitment and interview processes. Their practical advice and real-world examples gave organisations plenty to reflect on as they continue to build culturally responsive and inclusive workplaces.

We’re grateful to everyone who took part and helped make the webinar such a success.

Until next time! What kaupapa would you like us to explore next?
