Mana’o Vā
Consultancy, Professional Development
Mana’o Vā is the thinking space — where knowledge, culture, and relationship meet. It is HIVĀ’s research and advisory arm, focused on designing culturally grounded frameworks for conflict resolution, justice, and leadership. Through research, conflict analysis, and consultancy, we help organizations integrate Pacific values into modern systems. Guided by the principle of vā — relational space — Mana’o Vā bridges Western methodologies with Indigenous wisdom, ensuring strategies and programs reflect connection, reciprocity, and respect. Here, thinking becomes an act of restoration — and knowledge, a tool for peacebuilding.
Learn how our Pacific values-based frameworks guide each step of our ADR work, from first contact through to restoration, creating processes that heal, not just resolve.
Let’s Work Together
Partner with us to navigate complex disputes with Pacific-informed processes that honour relationships, restore trust, and support lasting resolution.
