MindKai calendar 2026-27

Mark time differently...

This calendar is for anyone who's ever felt rushed by the clock – and wondered if there's another way to track time, or who is keen to mark their year across two world views: te ao Māori, and te ao Pākehā.

Inside, you'll find three time systems woven together:

1. The Gregorian calendar that we're all used to operating within for appointments and deadlines, and the day to day;
2. Te maramataka (Māori lunar calendar) to track energy phases through time; and
3. Te tau toru o Matariki (the three‑year stellar calendar system developed by Dr. Rangi Mātāmua) which tracks seasonal markers by the stars, sun and maramataka.

This isn't just a calendar on the wall, or in your phone. It's a daily call to live more connected to the environment and people around you - a live resource guiding you each day.

Each month shows:

• Energy rhythms for every day (high / medium / low) based on maramataka phases
• Which star is appearing and what number star of the year it is
• Whakataukī matched to the season – coded knowledge from tūpuna
• Historical events and wahine toa in Aotearoa not often talked about
• Seasonal markers to observe (when to plant, when to rest, when to gather)

In this marker of time you're introduced to new kupu and ways of thinking. It's an invitation to see time through two worldviews, without having to ditch either.

Whether you're new to seeing time and marking it using a Māori world view or you're already working with it and want to use something thats consolidated - this calendar helps you walk in both worlds all in one quick reference point – scheduling your hui, your mahi, your whānau time, and your rest days in a way that honours mātauranga Māori and the reality of the Gregorian calendar world we live in!
