Welcome
I am here. .
The forest is there . .
View from the window as we learned – write, watch, do .. .(go to forest, sit daily and listen, observe).
Attend her healing clinics – when she is in town. I decided tithing was the way forwards to balance out the tribe of youngsters I am working to alter. Month of May will see us as a group observing in marae across lower Wellington area 4 day intensive .
I need more tools – esp if called upon down the road .. . in time when all is apocalpytic
Driving back home – Lake Kaniere
Small by the road excess of water falling
We have what is local.
I will start here – tohunga (CLICK)
Master (CLICK) . . . I learn in a female line. ‘It was the Tohunga, the priestly scholar, who carried in his head, and passed onto his pupils, the lineage of the chief, and tribal history. He could repeat these back through hundreds of years, and if one doubts the ability to pass on verbal history to this extent, we should remember that the Iliad was handed down for generations before being written by the Greeks. It is reliance on the written word which impairs the memory. The Tohunga held the power of tapu over the tribe.’
Rosita followed the Mexican midwives – and her masters – Don E.PP. the man of the forest – I will have my kiwi version . .plus go walkabout with Stephanie and the members of her Stay at Home Camino – we need to write our stories down for the next ones coming through. A few spots left – lose yourself in yourself – and pour out the inner STUCK!!!
I suggest you all get this as it gives an overview of where the world traditions all started – and how they got to where they are – oral and local.
A wee task . . .
(For the student)
Learning the language and the plants 3 names – for their iwi – tribe (in Latin) as well as what I know them by plus their local name . .
