EP255 – Navigating the Moana & Life | Hinerapa Rupuha on Purpose, Te Ao Māori & Collective Strength

In Episode 255, I sit down with Hinerapa Rupuha, a mana wahine deeply anchored in te ao Māori, with a passion for te reo Māori, traditional navigation, and voyaging.Raised through kōhanga reo and kura kaupapa Māori, Hinerapa attributes much of who she is today to her whānau and the strong foundations laid within Hoani Waititi.Her journey began with a love for the moana through waka ama, which evolved into a deeper curiosity for traditional navigation, a path she has now been committed to for over 10 years.Most recently, she completed a powerful voyage from Aotearoa to Samoa and back, embodying the knowledge, discipline, and connection required to navigate the Pacific using ancestral ways.This is a conversation about identity, discipline, culture, and trusting your path, guided not just by destination, but by who you are becoming.🔗 Join our online community Seeds of Self:www.skool.com/seeds-of-self
