Carry the maramataka into your working week
Download the calendar file and import it into Outlook or Google Calendar. Each day arrives as an all-day entry carrying the full traditional name of the night, its broad phase and energy, a short description, suggested focus for leaders, and a link back to this site for the deeper kōrero. A morning reminder brings the guidance to you before the day begins.
The file is generated on this page from astronomical new moon times for Aotearoa. Events are marked free, not busy, so they will never block your availability. He tohu: the calendar is a guide; the tohu of your own taiao always take precedence.
Google Calendar
Open Google Calendar on the web, then Settings → Import & export → Import. Choose the downloaded file and select the calendar to add it to. Creating a dedicated calendar named Maramataka first keeps it tidy and lets others in your organisation subscribe to it.
Outlook
In Outlook on the web, go to Calendar → Add calendar → Upload from file, choose the file, and select a calendar. In the desktop app, File → Open & Export → Import/Export → Import an iCalendar (.ics) file, then choose Import to merge it into your calendar.
Ohia atu · Subscribe instead
Rather than importing a fixed copy, you can subscribe to the calendar so it stays current. In Google Calendar use Other calendars → From URL; in Outlook use Add calendar → Subscribe from web. Paste this address:

Te anga · The framework
Ngā pō o te marama
The sequence of nights follows the maramataka widely shared through wānanga and publications, used across Tāmaki Makaurau and the upper North Island. Each night keeps its full traditional name, because the names carry mātauranga that a collapsed label cannot. Read as a leadership rhythm, the cycle tells us when to observe, when to gather, when to act, when to celebrate, and when to rest.
