Hā ki roto
Hā ki waho
Kia tau te mauri
e kokiri nei
I nga piki
me ngā heke
Ko te rangimarie
tāku e rapu nei
Tihei mauri ora
Breathe in
Breath out
Settle the mauri
that stirs inside me
through the ups and the downs
This is the peace that I seek
Tihei mauri ora
Tēnā koutou
My name is Ngaire Tigeir.
I am a creative creature dipping and dabbling in many art forms.
Using natural materials is a passion of mine. Finding ways to bring ‘nature’ into my mahi to increase grounding and connectivity to the environment and develop new understandings about change and growth is important to me and something I offer those I work with.
My background is in working in a diverse range of mental health and disability settings in Aotearoa NZ, and Scotland. This mahi has included: professional support work; peer support; addictions counselling working with youths and their families/whānau and adults, within a psychiatric hospital and in therapeutic community.
Availability:
Ngaire is currently on a break from her therapy mahi at Holding Space, but we might be fortunate to see her creative creature offerings in other ways with one-off community art workshops.
