Foundations of Spiritual Care Workshop

Foundations of Spiritual Care – Ngā Mātāpono O Te Manaaki Wairua

Professional Development Programme

The Foundations of Spiritual Care workshops are about starting the conversation. They are aimed at those working in a clinical setting to improve our understanding of connection, wairua & spiritual care for those at the end-of-life. It helps us demystify end-of-life conversations and help us understand how spiritual wellness plays a part in quality of life for patients and their whānau.

The expected benefits:

• Patients, families and whānau have their spiritual needs recognised and met
• Increase our knowledge of the fundamentals of te ao Māori & Whanaungatanga
• Understand how to use Te Whare Tapa Whā as a fundamental part of holistic care
• Develop spiritual literacy and shared understanding of connection & spiritual care
• Enhance holistic practice as a part of our overall care plan

Dates for 2026 have yet to be confimed. Please check back at a later date or email us for more information at education@waipunahospice.org.nz”

Kia hora te marino

Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana

Kia tere te kārohirohi

I mua i tōu huarahi

Ara nei ake tonu atu

May calm be widespread,

May the sea glisten like greenstone,

May the shimmer of sunlight guide

your pathway of life

Now and always
