About
Ahikaa Collective
At Ahikaa Collective, we are passionate about creating products that are both natural and healing. Each product has been guided to us in different stages of our lives, and we wanted to share their benefits with you. Our mission is to help balance all four pou - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual - and create a connection and balance within ourselves and our environment. We strive to become a household name, where people can find that connection through our products, our clothing, and our label.
Ko wai Mātou?
“Pāpāki tu ana ngā tai ki Mauao
Ka whakanukunuku hia, Ka whakanekeneke hia
I whiua rere hia e hotu
Ā Wāhinerua ki te wai
Ki te tai wiwi, ki te tai wawa
Ki te whai ao
Ki te Āo Mārama
Tihe i Mauri Ora”
He Uri tenei nō Ngatī Rongomai, Ngāti Pikiao, Raukawa, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Hangarau me Ngāti Kahungunu hoki
Ko Kamira Te Rangi tōku ingoa
I am passionate about the Taiao and what she has to offer, I love walking in the ngahere especially our ngahere in Ōmanawa, and listening to the rākau and manu as they guide me as I walk on the path of my tupuna. I do things different to others when I mahi Rongoā and thats my waka, eveyone has their tono, their own waka, their own journey and this is what I love about our mahi
The Ahi Kaa name represents the idea of keeping the fires burning, maintaining the connection and mana. The logo features a manu that symbolises the owner's guidance, with IO, Te Whenua moemoea, and Aotearoa represented the triangle's points and each Niho our values. Ahi Kaa refers to the group's occupation of the land, which they have held for generations, and their ability to defend it against challenges.
