Cultureflow
Why Cultureflow?
Making te reo Māori easy to learn, accessible and fun.
Cultureflow has been delivering high-quality Māori language and culture courses to Aotearoa New Zealand for more than 20 years.
Cultureflow was created to build cultural bridges of understanding. For centuries, humans have found solutions to large problems through the simplest of methods, mostly whilst chatting over a cup of tea. By looking into a different cultural framework, we are introduced to a whole new way of viewing the world, and all that exists within it.
It would be our privilege to share with you some of the ways we have chosen to celebrate Te Ao Māori - the Māori worldview. For the past 20 years, Cultureflow has provided Māori cultural training to a broad spectrum of people. The principles we value and base our style of delivery on include:
-
A commitment to sharing relevant
content in an inclusive and informative
manner -
Sharing stories, both historical and contemporary, with a cultural and business focus
-
A commitment to laugh at ourselves, when sharing mistakes, we have made in working with communities over the years

The ability to be able to read and have a basic korero in te reo Māori has led me to more fulfilling relationships in both my personal and professional life. If you want to understand Māori culture and start to embed this in your own life or converse with others, I can't recommend Cultureflow highly enough."

About Cultureflow
For more than 20 years Cultureflow® has delivered te reo Māori programmes across the length and breadth of Aotearoa.
Cultureflow started as a mihi to all of those who lost their Reo through the Native Schools Act 1858. A love letter of sorts. To let them know, it’s cool to speak Māori now.
Their tutors are qualified, enthusiastic individuals, who have all been on their own Reo Māori journey. They are humbled to be able to share the language and culture with you.
