The Land Empathises With Us, We Empathise With The Land

Caya Episode 14

The Hello Frequency Podcast acknowledges the Tainui people of the Waikato region, where it was recorded. Respects to elders past, present, and emerging. 

Welcome to The Hello Frequency, My Dear Listeners: I am your host, Caya. 

In this insightful episode, “The Land Empathises With Us, We Empathise With The Land,” with Raukawa - Ngāti Raukawa Ngāti Maniapoto Ngāti Kahu ki Ngāpuhi Ngāruahine ki Taranaki - @ruakak.kawa (on Instagram), we explore the profound connections between empathy and our relationship with the land. Discover how empathy bridges cultural divides, challenges our values, and transforms us for the better. Learn about the emotional bonds that tie us to the land and each other, and how empathy in Te Reo Māori embodies aroha love, caring for people, being good hosts, and more. We are mesmerised by ancestral knowledge and indigenous wisdom, revealing how empathy is deeply rooted in our connections to the earth, encapsulated in the Whakataukī “I am the mountain, the mountain is me.” Join us to understand how what happens to our land happens to us, and how we can express and connect with empathy in every aspect of our lives, even when our sense of empathy and the desire to empathise is challenged. Kia ora, Raukawa 🌟🎧✨❤️ 

Together, We respectfully celebrate the wisdom of the elders, those who have passed, those who are present, and those who are yet to emerge.
