A priceless experience that will connect your guests to the history of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Connect through culture, and the world becomes flat.
The haka pōwhiri is a traditional welcome and an integral part of Māori culture. When you formally welcome guests with a haka pōwhiri, you inject meaning and purpose to your event and set the intention for that which follows.
A wero marks the beginning of a haka pōwhiri. A guest, chosen to act as chief, raises the peace token. Once the peace token is accepted, the guests enter the venue to the call of the karanga. An energetic haka pōwhiri and demonstration of the hongi, conclude the ceremony.
Following the formalities of the pōwhiri, our troupe will perform three acts to complete the ceremony.

“I wanted to take this time to properly connect, the USANA family felt the aroha that’s for sure and that’s exactly what I had hoped for too! Some cried, many got emotional and some blown away literally!The emotions that were spoken forward were a connection hundreds if not all, hadn’t felt in a very long time and ignited a ripple effect of hope and a sense of belonging too! Thank you very much.”
