Ao Maarama is an interactive App that uses the maramataka and Maaori health frameworks to help build awareness, knowledge, and connection with the rhythms of wellbeing.
It weaves Maatauranga Maaori through tools like the Maramataka (Maaori lunar calendar), Te Whare Tapa Whaa, and Mauri Ora Tai Pari. By tuning into the tohu (signs and messages) and natural rhythms within us and te taiao we can be better prepared to pursue pathways to wellbeing.
