Te Whare Atua Ō IO — IO’s Sacred House — is the living embodiment of the placement of Kōhatu Mauri: a unified field of Mauri IO grounded into Papatūānuku through the intentional placement of 72 sacred kōhatu across the world over a 30 year period. It is not a constructed building, but a living system formed through mauri (lifeforce) whakapapa, ruruku (ancient incantations) , connection, and alignment between land (whenua), ocean (moana), and sky (rangi). Each kōhatu mauri carries its own origin and identity, yet together they establish a single interconnected presence that reflects the unity of all things within Te Ao Mārama. At the heart of this living system are the 25 kōhatu placed into the whenua as the central binding field. These kōhatu come from Tibet and Africa as ancient continental anchors; from Vaeāra‘i, Taputapuātea, and Mata‘irea as central Polynesian pillars; from Rapanui, Hawai‘i, and Maui as the outer navigational boundaries of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa; from Turi as the ancestral waka line; and from Ahurei, Wharerua, and Maro Te Tini as sacred marae and ceremonial spaces. Each maunga presented here in the last 30 years has physically been walked.
From Aotea Roa, the kōhatu include Hikurangi, Whakaari / White Island, Paepae Ō Aotea, Te Awa Ō Te Atua, Mōtiti Nui a Tia, Taumaihiorongo, Matarehua, Te Whare Tapu Ō Ngāpuhi, Te Kāhui Maunga, Aoraki / Mount Cook, Mount Taranaki, and Taupiri Mountain. These are further bound through Te Riu a Māui (Zealandia), Tāhūhūnuiōrangi (the constellations), Ngā Maunga o Kuki Airani, Halemaʻumaʻu o Pele, Te Kōhanga (Castle Hill), and Maunga Pōhatu of Taupō Nui a Tia, which carries all mountains, oceans, and rivers within it. Extending beyond this centre is the wider network of 45+ mauri placements already established across the world — including Alaska, Anchorage, Canada, Japan, Italy, the Americas, Asia, and throughout Te Moana Nui a Kiwa. These kōhatu form the outer framework of the living system, each one grounded within its own whenua, holding its own mana while remaining in continuous relationship with all others. All the kōhatu mauri stones came from Te Paepae Ō Atea. They are not separate from the 25, but part of the same field — expanding its reach across continents, islands, and oceanic pathways. I have no doubt there are more mauri kōhatu, maunga, awa. This is where we have got to after 30 years exploration.
The connection between all mauri kōhatu is known as Te Whatupungapunga — the binding of whatu (stones) through an interconnecting punga, a anchor stone, a living web that links every point into one continuous structure. Within this, each kōhatu is both a point and a pathway: it holds its own origin while simultaneously connecting to every other kōhatu across the network. The 25 kōhatu act as the central binding field, drawing together the wider 45+ global mauri placements into coherence, stability, and unity. Through this interwoven system, Te Whare Atua Ō IO comes into being. The 72 kōhatu collectively form its foundation, its pou, and its tāhūhū — not in a physical sense, but as a living architecture that exists across both the physical and spiritual dimensions. The outer mauri establish the reach of the whare, while the central kōhatu hold its integrity and continuity. Together, they create a unified field where whenua, moana, and rangi are aligned and held in balance. Te Whare Atua Ō IO therefore stands as a connected living system — where nothing exists in isolation and everything is bound through whakapapa. It is the manifestation of a connected living universe, grounded into the earth yet extending across the world and into the constellations. Once established, it continues as a living presence within the whenua, carrying forward the relationships it holds and maintaining the unity it represents across Te Moana Nui a Kiwa and beyond. It was IO whakapapa, IO ruruku and IO tikanga used when placing all 72 Mauri Kōhatu. This is what Te Whare Atua Ō IO is.

After all these kōhatu were placed and the mauri field established, I must speak to its origin. IO visited me in a dream 30 years ago. In that dream I spoke the name Mātangirea—my son’s name—seven times. I have held this in private until now. Mātangirea means IO’s Sacred House. It was this dream, this sign, that revealed why Te Whare Atua Ō IO exists. It’s why I spent 31 years of my life visiting all these sacred geographical land marks (waahi tapu). I remember visiting Marae Mata'irea (Mātangireia) 27 years ago on Huahine Island, Tahiti. No one knew of that connection 27 years ago. It is not just a structure of mauri and kōhatu; it is the embodiment of that dream, the living manifestation of the name of The Sacred House that was given to me by IO. This is the heart of why Te Whare Atua Ō IO - Mātangireia came to be.
