Te Whare Tapa Whā
Te Whare Tapa Whā, created by Sir Mason Durie, presents health and wellbeing as a wharenui/ meeting house with four walls: taha wairua - spiritual, Taha hinengraro - mental/emotional, taha tinana - physical, and taha whānau - family/social wellbeing.
Additionally taha whenua - connection to the land forms its foundation. Balancing these dimensions is crucial for overall wellness.
