tender honouring of people that just touched so deeply. These are the things

sometimes. Anne, Registered Nurse

Thanks again to you and Chris for such an amazing experience on the course -
I learned so much and will never forget your kindness and wisdom. Bethany,

I really liked the way you structured it so it built gradually and delivered
what can be extremely confrontational material in a non-confrontational way.
Very skilful ...wonderful course. Ruth, Librarian

You are in such great demand it doesn't surprise me ...... There's a consensus
that your training is second to none ... Ministry of Education Taranaki

Using roleplay, homour and skillful facilitation, Takawai and Chris delivered a
thought-provoking, affirming, (and for some of us, life-changing) course about
our bicultural society - past and present - and its importance for the future.

Thank you very much for the Te Pumaomao workshop which I attended last week.
While the issues discussed had the primary intention of increasing healthy
cultural awareness and did this sensitively and very effectively, it was so
much more than this.

I was very intrigued, on reflection, by how little opportunity we have/make
professionally to discuss elements of respect in such an open forum. Somewhere,
somehow, in this workshop, we touched on principles that drive all professional
and interpersonal communication into a more real, more satisfying, can do frame
of reference.

I highly recommend this workshop to all colleagues searching for greater
connection with their work, their own colleagues and of course, their patients.

Fred Nagel, Specialist Paediatrician FRACP, Clinical Director Information
Services, Lakes DHB

I just wanted to let you know that I think you run a very special wonderful
course & I really enjoyed my couple of days at Hongoeka Marae with you both. I
am spreading the word far & wide! Brenda, Literacy Aotearoa
