Whānau Mārama System Mapping
Meet Erin
"As we transition into our collective we endorse the lifelong work of our co-founder, senior practitioner, lead facilitator and organisational leader Erin Lewis who is of Irish and Scottish descent, Pākeha, and lives in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. She has vast experience in helping people work through pain and trauma in their physical, mental and emotional bodies. Erin holds a Graduate Diploma in Professional Bi-Cultural Supervision, and has 20 years of Yoga and Qi Gong experience. She has also designed and we have co-named Te Pouwhiringa. This speaks to our shared ancestry of the Celtic Shield Knot that protects family and the weaving that happens when we step into healing and wholeness."
About Us
We would like to acknowledge the work of our co-founders, our Kuia Nanny (late) Jozie Karanga, and whānau for their pioneering work to bring Systemic Constellations developed over 30 years ago by Bert Hellinger, to Aotearoa.
Our story is about sisters, mothers, tāne and wāhine reaching out and coming together to liberate ourselves from our intergernerational mamae (trauma) and release our individual and collective potential.
Our collective wisdoms, knowledge, practices and constellation experience within Aotearoa and the world has culminated in the creation of this innovative movement we have named Whānau Mārama System Mapping (c).
This is invaluable knowledge as the Whānau Mārama process is somatic, and processed through the body and its stored cellular memories. It is also a powerful tool for releasing intergenerational trauma safely and swiftly.
Te Kawa Whaiora (c) is the Aotearoa, New Zealand collective that was co-founded by Erin Lewis, Whānau, Hapū, Iwi leaders, and senior Whānau Mārama System Mapping Practitioners in 2017.
"Whainga te kawa hei tikanga whaiora. The practice of life giving natural laws"
Whānau Mārama System Mapping has an online Zoom space and workshops are held across Aotearoa, we also offer Whānau Mārama System Mapping Practitioner Training.
We are also proud to present a amazing resource 'The Love Revolution' authored by Erin which is an important tool for those seeking healing and clarity
