I started “MAURI ORA” a few weeks ago now and I am enjoying it so much ! I really do recommend it to everyone !!
The word Mauri means the vital force that exists in all things both animate alive/seen and inanimate unseen!
It is an agent that binds the wairua (SPIRIT), hinengaro (MIND), and tinana (PHYSICAL), to a relationship that produces mauri ora.
Mauri ora occurs when the balance of all three are synchronised. When this takes place the mauri becomes active and is driven to find avenues of expression.
I wanted to share with you two we miniature artworks that I have created with Mauri Ora in mind!!
“Mauri” meaning (Vital force that lives in all things!)

The South Island Tomtit or Ngirungiru is from the family of the Australian Robin.
The species is not threatened and has adapted to the changes made to New Zealand’s biodiversity.
There are five subspecies of the Tomtit, each species being restricted to each of the following islands or island groups, North Island, South Island, the Snares Islands, the Chatham Islands and the Auckland Islands. Four of these five subspecies have been elevated to full species in the past (the Chatham subspecies was retained with the South Island Tomtit), but genetic studies have shown that these subspecies diverged relatively recently
