12 | 13 | 14 - The Vital Essence in All Beings MAURI
09:00 -15:51 October 14, 2025-October 18, 2025  | | Mauri is a Māori word that speaks to the vital essence in all beings, the life force that flows through land, water, people, and all living things. It is the pulse of existence itself, the vibration that connects us in the great web of life. Our new film, Mauri: The Vital Essence in All Beings, invites you into that living current. The second in our Wisdom of the Ancestors 12-film series, it weaves ceremony, story, and song to reveal how Māori Elders and healers are tending to the wounds of colonization and guiding a collective journey of reconnection and remembrance. We invite you to watch the trailer and register for the global film premiere and 5-day online gathering, October 14–18, 2025. You can join by offering a small donation of any amount (including $0). | | Join the FREE Global Film Premiere + LIVE 5-Day Live Online Event with Māori Wisdom Keepers October 14–18, 2025 | 🎥 Community Screening of Mauri: The Vital Essence in All Beings

⏱️ 48-hour replay access for each talk | | Watch the Trailer and Join Us | | View the full schedule | | What you’ll witness in Mauri:- Ceremonies of reconnection — ancestral chants and karakia (prayers) offered to the land, asking permission, offering healing, and opening the way for dialogue with the ancestors.
- Healing as collective remembering — Māori Elders and healers tending to intergenerational wounds through language, ritual, and the living relationship with whenua (land).
- Trauma held, not treated — spaces where pain is met with story, song, medicine, and presence rather than diagnosis or isolation.
- The return of sacred language — words and sounds that awaken memory and identity, carrying the vibration of belonging.
- Women as keepers of lifeforce — voices of mothers, aunties, and healers guiding the reweaving of balance and care.
- Decolonization as ceremony — healing not as resistance alone, but as the restoration of right relationship with land, ancestors, and each other.
- The spirit that endures — a quiet honoring of what colonization could not erase: the Mauri that continues to pulse beneath all things.
This is sacred work made visible through story, song, ceremony, and the quiet power of presence. It is not merely a viewing, but a transmission, something to feel, to absorb, to remember. 👉 Join us for the Mauri Global Premiere + 5-Day Live Online Event When you register, you’ll receive free access to the 5-day gathering. Mauri will be available online with a donation of any amount (including $0).
