Louis Kereopa is a Maori elder (kaumatua). He is recognised as a Matapuna (Living Spring). Matua shares his traditional wisdom and holistic practices that honour Gaia, the Creator, the elements and unconditional love. His main passion and channel for sharing is as a Tohunga Whakairo (traditional Maori master carver). He is a nature-based spiritual counsellor and mentor in various levels of spiritual and emotional guidance and healing. Matua teaches his own form of open-eyed prayer meditation called Te Rakau Rangimarie, or way of the peace stick. This prayer in movement honours the Creator, Gaia and the seven elements of nature.

As a mentor and friend to many souls, he expresses his compassion and love of mankind through guitar, drums, prayer and singing. Matua is invited to share Maori and universal wisdom at elder and indigenous wisdomkeeper gatherings around the world.
