ACC Rongā Conference 2024
Listen to Pā’s interview on Conservation Amplified’s People Helping Nature Podcast:
Tīwaiwaka: A Movement to Heal Our Relationship with Nature (with Rob McGowan/Pā Ropata)
What if we viewed Earth not as a resource to be managed, but as our home to be cherished?
In this profound conversation, Rob McGowan (Pā Ropata), leader of the Tīwaiwaka movement and respected rongoā practitioner, reveals a transformative set of enduring principles for healing our relationship with Papatūānuku (mother earth).
Rob challenges conventional thinking about environmental action, revealing how small, mindful changes in our daily lives can collectively reshape the way we interact with nature. By shifting from a "me" to a "we" worldview, we can create a future where both people and planet thrive together.
This episode illuminates a pathway forward that's grounded in hope, respect for life at all scales, and the understanding that true wellbeing emerges from healing our connections - with each other and with the natural world.
