POUNAMU

'From the crystal waters of te waka aa maui, to the world of change that is now, comes Pounamu.'

Te Kaha is known as "He Maangai Pounamu",
He who speaks the language of Pounamu,

the ancient healing stone of Aotearoa.

In the Pounamu world that Te Kaha lives in, working and shaping the stone is about being able to take the self out of the equation and let the tipuna (ancestors) and the wairua (essence) come to the fore to reveal the true taonga that is the Pounamu.

As well as hand-carving unique taonga (treasures), he travels the world sharing the language of Pounamu and facilitates waanana (workshops) to encourage all people to connect their inner self to the mauri (energy) of the Pounamu.
