Our inaugural hui-ā-tau has been months and months in the making. We have an intimate team of staff, all māmā, all passionate about the re-indigenisation of mātuatanga/parenting.

It was an absolute privilege to sit amongst all of the graduates of our kaupapa. They are actively sharing tūpuna mātauranga in their communities every single day and we’re so proud to mahi at their side.

I’m grateful too all the funders who made it possible for us to spoil these kaimahi for a day. I’m still riding high on their vibes

Pio Terei and Marama Davidson of course we fabulous speakers. We were all very lucky to sit in a tāonga puoro session with Eli Maiava. We also soaked in mātauranga from researcher, Dr Joni Angeli-Gordon who spoke to ihi, wehi and wana regarding the reciprocity of exchanging mauri. The Kai was phenomenal as were the Pakihi Māori who joined us. and A beautiful few days with beautiful people

Āe rā - You can weave waka tūpāpaku in advance. In the right conditions, you can store them for a long time.

A lot of people have asked me why my Nan would organise her own casket. And honestly i used to think the same thing. I’ve mainly worked with people at the inception of life so shifting into the realm of te pō has been pretty eye opening. Honestly, a lot of people prepare their end of life necessities so it’s done how they want it done or so it isn’t a burden on those they leave behind. We Māori are professional grievers and I’ve become very comfortable with the idea of preparing for the next phase of existence 🤍
