Do you need a CREATIVITY MENTOR to kick your arse, guide, inspire, motivate, teach, encourage, help and develop you to achieve YOUR CREATIVE GOALS AND DREAMS? I am NOW taking on new CREATIVITY TAUIRA and AUAHATANGA coaching clients, long distance online and via phone (aka right in your pocket).
This is for people who want a creative wake up call, help staying on track to achieve your creative aspirations, an experienced mentor and fire lit under you on the regular. This is for creativity across the board and is not specific to any one medium. No, I will not be teaching taa moko in this offering.
But I will teach you how to THINK, ACT, BEHAVE, DECIDE, COMPLETE, PROGRESS, BUILD and LAUNCH your own ideas in the best ways to suit YOUR unique recipe and makeup.
Tell your kin who may benefit from this opportunity to work with me one on one, personalized to YOUR situation and creative dreams. This is open to anyone who HAS A STRONG DESIRE TO WORK CREATIVELY, ACTIVELY and INTENTIONALLY WITH ME.
This is for you if you want and need TO PROGRESS AND EVOLVE YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL CREATIVE and ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY.
This is for you if you are out of other options and YOU NEED TO MAKE IT AS A CREATIVE or if you are SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT FIT IN WELL OR SUCCEED ANYWHERE ELSE and instead of continuing to suffer trying to squash yourself into other peoples boxes…YOU DECIDE TO BET ON YOURSELF and TAKE A CHANCE ON YOU and what actually lights you up.
This is for you if no one else will invest in you so YOU MUST INVEST IN YOURSELF NOW. TODAY. Before this wayward society takes you out!
This is suitable for anyone that is at an earlier stage of their AUAHATANGA than me, or if you have seen me doing things that you also want to do (apart from tattooing).
We can start on YOUR NEW CREATIVE PATHWAY AND FIRST NEXT STEPS today! You can cancel at any time, no worries. You will need access to your own phone and wifi to participate in my AUAHATANGA programs and personalized coaching.
You will also need to actually DO the tasks and exercises that I give to you and CUSTOM CREATE FOR YOU.
Unconventional multi-passionate and neuro-spicy oddballs are going to love my style of unorthodox coaching. Creative people who have LOST THEIR SPARK and want TO COME BACK TO THE PATH will also benefit from this.
People with GOOD IDEAS that need a little help and boost to EXECUTE and KEEP EXECUTING will also get value from my unique style of mentoring.
You can participate weekly for as short or long as you like…until you no longer need or want what I have to give you. Everything is easier with a bit of support and my 20+ years of creative practice spanning multiple disciplines and countries is RARE, PRICELESS, UNIQUE and IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYWHERE ELSE.
I will only be offering this for as long as I feel like it, or for as long as it is needed to serve the vast sections of my communities that would otherwise have FUCK ALL SUPPORTS IN BRINGING THEIR OWN UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL VISIONS INTO REALITY.
So if you know in your bones, and you can just FEEL IT…that you need to try this with me for at least a month to unstuck yourself and MOVE INTO DEEP CREATIVE FLOW AND PRODUCTIVE ARTISTIC EVOLUTION…SIGN UP TODAY and GET TO FUCKING CRACKING MY DARLING!
THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!
You are going to love it…AND THE NEW WORK THAT COMES OUT OF YOU.
Let’s get you on your way this week!
$22AUD a week, get in the waananga and let’s do this together.
You can cancel at any time and try it for as long or short as you like.

Poem excerpts from my upcoming new projects
Wrap me, cloak of every hue.
Red, black, white, green, blue.
Hold me when I cannot stand.
E te atua, take my hand.
Pango for the night I keep.
Rā for when I wake from sleep.
Kākāriki for the love that grows.
Kikorangi for what I know.
What Is The Rainbow Prophecy?
Across the world, many nations speak of a time when:
The Earth is sick.
People of all colours come together.
Old teachings return.
The land and people are healed.
We are the Rainbow Tribes.
My brothers and sisters, now is our time.
We follow the rainbow rhythm, lines, songs and signs.
Drink here. Fill up. Then give.
Hands that create.
Hands that protect.
Hands that love.
Hands that give.
Hands that make.
These are my hands.
Huihui mai, e te iwi.
Gather, oh people.
Huihui mai, e te whānau.
Gather, oh family.
We are one.
In love.
In history.
In present.
In future.
As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.
Clear my mind.
Soothe my spirit.
Purify my body.
Protect my heart.
Guide my mouth.
Enlighten my eyes.
Delight my ears.
Fill my hand.
Let my work be true.
About my new ebook 'TOI TŪHĀHĀ: A Māori creative cultural therapy manual' coming soon
Toi Tūhāhā is a Māori creative cultural therapy framework that weaves together cultural knowledge, creative practice, somatic healing, ritual and therapeutic insight to support individuals and communities in reconnecting with identity, regulating emotion, integrating trauma, and restoring balance.
The name Toi Tūhāhā reflects a return to the creative origins of self — a standing place of identity, culture, and wairua. It honors the understanding that healing is relational, embodied, spiritual, and deeply connected to whakapapa, spirituality, self expression and whenua.
This framework is built on the belief that creativity is a powerful medicine. Through colour, movement, pattern, story, breath, artistic practice, creativity, personal narrative, storytelling, ritual, journalling, music, self expression, and cultural practice, people can access pathways of healing that are intuitive, accessible, and culturally grounded.
Toi Tūhāhā is designed for clinicians, facilitators, educators, artists, youth workers, community practitioners, and individuals seeking tools that honor spirituality, culture, and wellbeing.
It is not a clinical replacement — it is a cultural companion. A kete of practices that strengthen identity, reconnect people to their ancestors, integrate the power of ritual, facilitate productive creative self expression, and support emotional, spiritual, and somatic healing.

Recent tattoo convention and artist waananga in Tauranga
Earlier in March I was grateful to attend a week long waananga for moko artists in Tauranga, followed by the weekend-long Tauranga Tattoo Extravaganza - two awesome events with amazing artists to work alongside. Thanks to everyone that got tattooed by me in Tauranga recently.
I loved making new friends with some new indigenous tattooers that I hadn’t met before, from Canada, Greenland, Tahiti and The States. It was also awesome to collaboratively work on some new paintings with some of these international artists, all cultural art revivalists in their own respective parts of the world.
Big thanks to everyone involved in making these two events, amazing kaupapa to be involved with.

Come check out the Conscious Roots Festival in Plimmerton 28th-29th November 2015
I am stoked to be tattooing at the Conscious Roots Festival due to be held at Hongoeka Marae, Plimmerton on 28th-29th November 2015.
From the Conscious Roots Festival website:
"A generation ago, whānau shared kai as a means of connection and empowerment, threading lives, whakapapa and community together through the exchange of food, traditional practice and stories.
In this day and age, much of the old ways have been replaced with convenience, entertainment and consumerism. But things are changing..
On the fringes of our communities, there are small groups of whānau who are practicing the ways of their tipuna. They are replanting the seeds of traditional practice, sustainability, hauora and self determination.
The Conscious Roots Festival brings gardeners, healers, whānau and kaumātua together to celebrate and strengthen our connection to Papatuanuku and each other. There will be music, stories, creativity, film, workshops, dance, rongoā, karetao, mirimiri, fire, hangi, and laughter in the spirit of community."
Come on down and check it out!
Toi Wāhine 2015: a pop up exhibition of 7 female artists coming soon to Porirua!
Sian Montgomery-Neutze, Rangimarie Sophie Jolley, Taryn Beri, Miriama Grace-Smith, Xoe Hall, and Pikihuia Haenga-Carkeek at our first wānanga together in preparation for the exhibition. Our jewellery artist Keri-Mei Zagrobelna was in Europe when we took this photo but she will be back in December in time for our exhibition opening!
Due to open on 2nd December in Hartham Place, Porirua, this exhibition is set to be a diverse, unpredictable and exciting mix of seven young Māori female artists. Included in Toi Wāhine 2015 are female painters, moko artists, a writer, a jewellery designer and a film maker, all with some kind of affiliation to and affection for Porirua City.
The idea was born from seeing a call for proposals that was put out by Letting Space's service Urban Dream Brokerage, a radical and conscious organisation that makes use of empty and vacant shop spaces, transforming them for a short time into living, breathing, useful community based spaces.
Our exhibition will open on Wednesday 2nd December and run through till Tuesday 22nd December (please mark it in your calendars). Located under the canopies in Porirua by where childrens clothing store 'TnT' used to be! Details of the official opening event are still to come, so if you are interested then please stay posted (join my mailing list).
An exciting programme of events is currently being developed by our group, with each individual artist running a workshop for the public to come along and participate in, learn, share and contribute. Live tā moko will also be happening in the exhibition space throughout the three week period, including moko kauae.
Contributing artists in Toi Wāhine 2015 are:
Xoe Hall (muralist, glitterist and painter)
Sian Montgomery-Neutze (multimedia artist, painter and moko artist)
Miriama Grace-Smith (multimedia artist and fashion designer)
Keri-Mei Zagrobelna (jewellery artist)
Rangimarie Sophie Jolley (writer)
Taryn Beri (multimedia artist, painter and moko artist)
Pikihuia Haenga-Carkeek (experimental film maker)
So far our group has had two wānanga, sharing ideas and making art together, with more wānanga scheduled to come in the lead up to the opening of the exhibition.
Sian Montgomery-Neutze at our first wānanga toi.
Miriama Grace-Smith at our first wānanga toi.
Rangimarie Sophie Jolley at our first wānanga toi.
Xoe Hall at our first wānanga toi.
We will have interactive installations, paintings and prints for sale, community workshops, live tā moko happening onsite and lots of other fun and awesome things happening over the three weeks - more details to come.
I hope you can make it along to check it out, participate and support the kaupapa!
Mauriora,
Taryn Beri
I worked on my cousin Hepa's moko peha at Mahara Gallery for the exhibition opening weekend. On the wall behind us is my latest painting, 'Te Āhuru Mōwai'.
Taking tā moko tattooing into fine art galleries
Last weekend I attended the opening of 'He Toi Reikorangi: Te Ātiawa artists celebrate Matariki' at Mahara Gallery in Waikanae, on the Kapiti Coast of the Wellington region (New Zealand). It was super exciting and hundrends of people showed up to celebrate and show their support for the exhibition, including some of the best Māori artists in the world. For the duration of the opening weekend, Mahara Gallery invited myself, Rangi Kipa and Mitchell Hughes to showcase our tā moko expertise.
The fact that this exhibition opening was in Waikanae was personally significant to me, because my grandmother spent a lot of her life growing up in Waikanae, and her grandfather Wi Parata was a well known leader of the area and one of the biggest landowners - in fact Waikanae was once known as 'Parata Town'.
Iwi exhibitions are one of my favorite types of exhibitions because they reinforce and strengthen the whakapapa/genealogical bonds between the artists and the people of the iwi they belong to. Iwi exhibitions are a positive and uplifting community kaupapa that bring people together, showcasing the artistic excellence and skills amongst that particular tribe - I think that in itself, is an inspiring and empowering outcome.
A section of the moko peha that I worked on at Mahara Gallery during the exhibition opening weekend.
My eight year old apprentice, Ria Te Uira, stretching skin at Mahara Gallery.
My niece Ria Te Uira is a great little apprentice.
One of the reasons that I love to bring tā moko into art galleries is that it exposes and opens up the art form and cultural practice, to an entirely different audience, an audience that may not ever have the chance to see tā moko happening in real life, in any other situation. The potential for engagement with the public is great in an art gallery setting, and I enjoy answering the many and varied questions that people come up with. Having tā moko artists working in an art gallery space is magnetic, cutting edge, and a rare opportunity for gallery viewers to witness the tā moko process.
Another reason that I enjoy bringing tā moko into art gallery (and museum) settings is because I believe that all of our Māori art forms are inter-related and connected. Our various different art forms are at their strongest when put together and combined, contrasted against each other, complimenting one another, feeding into, informing and in conversation with one another. A decorated wharenui is a prime example of this, as is kapa haka where you see many of our art forms in relationship together at once.
The idea of inter-related art forms is part of the reason why I love collaborating and working alongside other artists, that use different mediums to me. It is also why I am currently enjoying the use of taonga puoro by Jerome Kavanagh, to compliment my tā moko process.
Tohunga tā moko, Rangi Kipa was also tattooing at Mahara Gallery for the exhibition opening weekend, as was moko artist Mitchell Hughes.
An outstanding modern work by master artist, Rangi Kipa.

I love this work by Tracey Morgan using seaweed and tāniko.
I have two prints on show in the exhibition, 'Manu Ariki' and 'Hine Ariki'. The kete shown in the foreground are by Snooks Forster.
My painting 'Te Āhuru Mōwai' currently at Mahara Gallery. This painting refers to a 'cosy haven' inside the womb of a woman, the home of a baby growing, the amniotic fluid and the dna / ancestral material that makes up the baby and who the baby is / will become.
The photos of art work shown in this article are just a snapshot of the full exhibition and there are many more awesome and innovative works on show until 12th July 2015, so go and see for yourself!
Moko kauae: a sneak peek
I recently spent about a week tattooing in Taihape at Winiata Marae. In general I mostly prefer to stay within my own rohe, and work within areas that I have some whakapapa link or affiliation to (except when I am overseas) - that's just how I prefer to roll whenever possible. However since my partner invited me to work in his rohe at his marae, I was more than happy to pack up my gear and head to Taihape. Furthermore, marae are one of my absolute favorite places to work, along with galleries and museums, so I jumped at the chance to work inside the whare there. As it happened, I did discover a link between my extended whānau and the whānau at Winiata Marae.
It was snowing and really freezing cold the week that we were there, as you can tell by my attire! It's hard to stay fashionable when you are so cold!
Whilst in Taihape I had the pleasure and privilege of tattooing a moko kauae for a local kuia. For me, moko kauae is the epitome of my tā moko practice and it is my favorite type of moko to do. Moko kauae has always been a strong motivating force for me and a large part of why I got into, and have stuck at tā moko. I want to see more and more wāhine Māori take on and wear their moko kauae with pride, strength and dignity - particularly within my own whānau, hapū and iwi.
Some friends of mine at Kikorua Films came and stayed with us for part of our trip and made a little film clip and took some photos. I think they did a great job of capturing the essence of the environment we were working in, and the mahi that we did there.
Moko kauae is a very special and important kaupapa. If you would like to talk me about getting your own moko kauae done, please email me on taryn.teuira@gmail.com.
Thanks for reading!
