Ahi Kapia is a well-being philosophy and personal development programme.

Developed for whānau, iwi & hapu in Aōtearoa to support the growth and prosperity of our Māori people.

Grounded in Mātauranga Māori and Bi-cultural in teachings it allows for participants of all ethnic backgrounds to embrace their culture and identity.

Designed to equip its students with the knowledge and skills needed to face challenges in life. The students will participate through shared experience, learning and understanding to better enhance their lives and the lives of others around them including potential employers.

Tauira participating in the programme will learn the values of Ahi Kapia.

These values will be taught through a series of wānanga noho marae, expanding on knowledge and learnings past down from our tūpuna (ancestors).

This programme will challenge tauira both physically and mentally and prepare them with the necessary tools to gain long term employment and/or consider their ideal career path.

By the end of the course tauira will have gained Mātauranga (knowledge) and be confident to share their learnings through whaikorero (formal speech) using pēpehā.
