The Te Wheke model is a Maori model of wellbeing consisting of interconnected tentacles representing different aspects of a person. The tentacles are Wairua tapu (spiritual realm), Mana (status and dignity), Hinengaro (intellect), Tinana (physical body), Whanaungatanga (relationships and kinship), Taonga tuku iho (cultural treasures and inheritance from ancestors), Mauri (life force), and Whatumanawa (emotions and feelings). Each tentacle represents a vital component of wellbeing that is interconnected with the others.

Songs of praise allows all parties the opportunity to acknowledge the previous step of karakia. Although not strictly a religious concept, “the prayer” step is about safety and the acknowledgement of spiritual connections. “ This step acknowledges that all parties have a shared vision – moving forward. The body of Te Powhiri (The Welcome) is captured in the speeches. This is the working component of Te Poutama and is inclusive of all parties talking TO each other. In Maoridom, the songs that follow speeches are normally supportive and meaningful “actions” that give integrity to what has been said. He Kaupapa Purpose Kotahitanga Unity By Paraire Huata
