Whiti Whiti Kōrero
Ko wai au?
Ko Mauao te maunga
Ko Waitao te awa
Ko Mataatua ko Te Arawa ngā waka
Ko Tauranga Moana te moana
Ko Ngāti Pūkenga ko Ngāi Te Rangi ko Ngāti Pikiao ngā iwi
Ko Te Whetū o Te Rangi te marae
Ko Rāhera Te Kahuhiapō, rātau ko David Asher, ko Katerina Te Atirau, ko Lea Asher ko Doug Probert ngā tīpuna
Ko Geoff Probert rāua ko Julia Scally ōku mātua
Ko Anaru Probert tōku ingoa
Acknowledging his blended whakapapa, Anaru is drawn to his tangata whenua roots in how he shares pūrākau Māori and whiti whiti kōrero.
Embodying principles of Te Whare Tapa Whā, he provides direct experience of how pūrākau are alive in body and Being.
He particularly enjoys how pūrākau of Te Haka a Tāne-rore, Ngā Rū o Rūaumoko, and Ngā Mata o te Ariki Tāwhirimātea reveal our own inner landscape, and how all can translate into active positive expressions of wellness.
