The Eternal Song-Mauri

The Eternal Song

An invitation to watch 12 films and related talks over the course of a year...

This month -Mauri

*Mauri*
Land: Aotearoa (New Zealand)
Mauri is an intimate, visually stunning testament to a land and a people who have survived colonization, removal, and exploitation, and to the healing ways that are part of the Māori ancestral knowledge. It juxtaposes the enduring trauma of colonization with the resilience offered through Māori ancestral healing traditions.
The film explores intergenerational trauma and the loss of Indigenous identity experienced by the native people of Aotearoa (New Zealand). It also contrasts Māori traditional healing practices, which provide a holistic approach to well-being, with Western therapeutic trauma-healing methods, disconnected from the indigenous worldviews and relationships.
The viewer can feel the healing radiating through as we journey into the world of Māori healers and discover the specific way in which each of them works.
Altogether, Mauri is a fascinating portrayal of the loss of cultural heritage and the healing available through the return to ancestral ways
110 minutes

The Eternal Song reveals sacred wisdom held for humanity and the Earth by indigenous communities across the world. It honours ancestral traditions and invites healing across communities. Listen to elders, land protectors and cultural leaders as they share wisdom for a future rooted in kinship.

Charlie and Maria invite you to join them every Thursday evening at the Hive from 7pm- 9pm at a cost of £10 per session. Money raised will cover costs and then go towards funding Indigenous-led initiatives in the communities where the films were made.
