Te Whare Tapa Wha (2)

What is Te Whare Tapa Wha?


Te Whare Tapa Wha is the four Maori well being or the four walls. It consists of the first wall, Family Health or Taha Whanau, being able to know your origin, where you come from, what your last name represents and being able to share and care as an individual. 
The second wall is Mental Health or Taha Hinengaro a person's condition with a regard to their psychological and emotional well being, basically your mind and how you think they check your mental health if you're thinking right and not any suicidal thoughts, etc.
The third wall is Physical health or Taha Tinana,  being able to give your body proper care for ideal health and functioning. Overall physical wellness encourages the balance of physical activity, what you eat and how you think to keep your body in shape.
The fourth and final wall is Spiritual Health or Taha Wairua, your religious beliefs, faiths values and morals. It's what you believe in some people believe in God and some don't. It's not just about your religion it is also about being able to forgive someone if they have done something to you to break your trust.
The roof which is the summary. It basically means that you have to keep these four walls in check to keep your mind and body well, to be stable.

How did you participate with others and how did you contribute?

I folded some papers and I did some of the meanings of the four well-beings.

How did you cope with team challenges?

We work harder and work together.
