About

Indigenous cultures have been using songs to communicate with Nature for time immemorial. Sacred songs are channeled directly from the spiritual world, to be used as keys to invoke certain energies.

Matua will teach sacred songs to honor the Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Wood in order to have a sacred exchange with these elements. Matua will also share the Maori words for the songs.
