🌿 Introducing the TOHU Framework: Sensing and Interpreting Tohu to Heal from Trauma 🌿 The TOHU framework offers a powerful approach to understanding and addressing trauma through the lens of Māori knowledge and practices. Tohu (signs) help guide personal, eco-environmental, and spiritual wellbeing. Developed by Māori psychologists and mātauranga Māori specialists (including our very own Dr Andre McLachlan and Hera Love), this framework provides a holistic way to interpret tohu and promote healing from patu ngākau (psychological and spiritual trauma). Explore how TOHU can support healing and wellbeing. https://ow.ly/rc5U50TnRBV Artwork by Corey James #MāoriWellbeing #HealingThroughTohu #PatuNgākau
