We deliver high quality programmes, online and in person programmes to individuals and organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand Cultureflow® started as a mihi to all of those who lost their Reo through the Native Schools Act 1858. A love letter of sorts: to let them know, it’s cool to speak Māori now. Since the launch of our first programme in 2002, we have employed over 100 tutors, worked with 10 different Polytechs and Universities, and assisted more than 8,000 people on their Reo Māori journey. All Cultureflow® material has been endorsed by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, Māori Language Commission (2002, 2006) and reviewed by Dr. Joseph Te Rito (2020).

It's been an absolute pleasure and privilege to work with the National Public Health Service staff who committed to the 7 week pilot. Some of their feedback told us we're on the right journey, embracing and supporting the promotion of Te Reo Māori in workplace culture: "I have been consciously trying to incorporate what I learned on the course at work and my understanding has improved, even though I have a long way to go"; "Kōrero, Kōrero, Kōrero i te Reo Māori as much as possible - jump on and give it a go, I'd recommend this to my colleagues"; "This programme was worth it's weight in gold"; "Wonderful encouragement and engagement"; "supportive environment for beginners" " Loved my advanced classes"; "Kōrerohia te reo ki ngā kokonga katoa". Karawhuia NPHS!. He Mihiroa ki a koe Paula Birnie, te kaihautū o te kauapapa nei. Ki te hoe!
Houston from the National Child Cancer/ AYA Cancer Network had this to say: "“We have all have thoroughly enjoyed our Te Reo Māori journey with Cultureflow and can highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn or up skill in the language and Tikanga. We felt supported and safe to learn and practice Karakia and Mihimihi and are now confident to implement our learnings into our workplace and beyond. Our teams are located in different areas across Aotearoa and Cultureflow were flexible in both catering to our different locations by offering live zoom sessions, and our specific learning outcomes which were important to us due to time constraints. The team were friendly, incredibly helpful and professional.”
A pātai Im asked often: Is it truely possible to speak Te Reo Māori in just 4 weeks?? Absolutely!!! This week Stevie is attending a Kura Reo in Dunedin. Love that ❤️👌🏽Which meant the classes other Kaiako couldnt cover for Stevie, gave me an opportunity to meet some awesome people committed to advancing their Reo journey. Today an amazing young woman Mikayla from Awhi and the team from Tuatahi First Fibre reminded me how much a dedicated learner can absorb in just one session. Nā reira - kia maia; kia kaha! Yea its possible, & its fun, & its inspiring. 👌🏽
