Our name
'Mauriora-ki-te-Ao' translates as 'life force/energy to the world'.
Mauri is a Māori word meaning 'life force or energy' which binds and animates all life. Death of the physical body is defined by the absence of mauri.
Ora is a Māori word meaning 'life' so that 'mauriora' translates as 'the energy or essence of life'.
Ao is a term for 'world' and also for 'light'. We are also using it as a symbol for our thought-life. The world we experience is substantially world which our minds and hearts have disposed us to experience.
Mauriora-ki-te-Ao captures our vision of bringing the creative energy to our world, to our experiences.
