Transformative
Engagement
System
A professional development turn key system to enable transformative change for you and those you care about through an indigenous lens. Positive engagement equals positive relationships equals positive outcomes.
We currently offer 3 courses which all embed Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Equity. We can provide team building and customised master classes for organisations and governance in all sectors including Corporate, Education, Health, Justice and Social Service Sector.
An example is ‘Master Engagement Social Service Course’ which incorporates 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki act and 3 of the 10 Social Work Registration Boards (SWRB) core competencies.
All 3 courses use the KAHA whanaungatanga engagement model: Koha, Aha, Hoha, Aroha®

What our clients are saying
Lynley
Counsellor
“This social services webinar presents, four important Pou that focus us on building quality, authentic relationships grounded on aroha, respect and care, vital to our work.
Our work can be messy and these Pou bring us back to its essence.
Father and daughter, Harley and Terehine, present with such genuineness, love and humour that you feel what it is to be anchored in KAHA. They show us how to live and breathe it. KAHA is a transformative and “real” way to be with people, which I believe gives great hope for our work. Thank you for this beautiful taonga.”

Talofa lava. My kete is fill. The father daughter combo combined with a sense of humour and quality systems, made the training special.
I truly don’t believe you both realise what a transformative programme this is.
Bless you and please continue to share your aroha.

“Harley and Tereihine ‘WOW’. The KAHA webinar training is next level and by far the best P.D I have undertaken. In half a day I learnt more than I have in multiple P.D programmes, and everything is useable. To be honest I am in shock of how many tools I can share straight away to enhance my practice and meets 7AA and some of the CPD requirements. Amazing!
The post programme resources are incredibly generous which fits with the Kaharawa way. I will be recommending this programme to all my colleagues. Thank you.”

“The Kaharawa series provides a paint by numbers system to respectfully engage with Māori. I would encourage practitioners within the ‘Helping Sector’, education, health and social services to undertake the programme best suited to what you need. It affirms quality engagement through an indigenous lens and allows participants to naturally grow.”
