Taha Matihiko - Digital Wellness

Taha Matihiko is Digital Wellness defined under the transformational process called Te Poutama Ora, a Māori wellness approach to digital colonisation. We explore how digital platforms systematically colonise attention, relationships, physical health, identity, spiritual connection, and mental wellbeing across five wellness dimensions (Whakapapa, Tinana, Tuakiri, Wairua, and Hinengaro). Through structured protocols including seven-day awareness tracking, nine-day resistance intensification, and architectural boundary design, Taha Matihiko provides evidence-based strategies for reclaiming digital sovereignty.
