3. Rongoā - Woven for Community with Ariana Grant

In this episode of Rongoā: Healing Through Indigenous Wisdom/Horsemanship, I sit down with Ariana, who works as a coach and soul translator alongside Rangatahi (youth), wāhine, tāne and couples, for a conversation about what it really means to be in community. We talk about the dangers of cancel culture, whanaungatanga as more than a concept, as a living practice that shapes how we show up for our communities, our young people, and ourselves. Ariana shares insight from her work on the ground, and we explore the threads that connect community, connection, and healing back to the same kaupapa this podcast is built on: reindigenising the relationships between people, horses, and the whenua. This one is a reminder that none of us were meant to do this alone. We were woven for community, and it’s in that weaving that healing becomes possible. 🎧 Listen now.
