During the guided afternoon experience, your senses will be awakened with a 16-course tasting feast created with native and seasonal flowers, fruits, leaves, and seeds.

“Walking in the NZ bush will never be the same again!” - Dany Leong, Film director.

How can you grow roots if you never eat from the soil? Mamakan, a botanical artist of nordic heritage, invites you to ponder about roots and ancestry by exploring the edible botanical history of Aotearoa New Zealand afresh.

Learn to ID native edible plants from their look, touch, taste, and smell. Set yourself and your friends up for a higher level of well-being by investing in your bushcraft skills and knowledge.

Part art installation, part cooking lesson, part nature walk, the Art of Foraging workshop explores new dimensions of wisdom, wonder, and wellbeing in harmony with the natural seasons.

“Loved it! I think everyone should do it .” - Sally Stockwell, Singer/Songwriter and Actress

“I thought everything about the foraging walk was awesome” - Jennifer Spithill, Nutritionist and Health Coach

“Mamakan led us on a beautiful, informative and uplifting walk bringing a variety of native plants and trees into respectful focus. The preparations made from flowers, foliage, and stems were exquisitely thought through and presented. I've been excited to have and pass on little bits of my learning already.” Michaela Hendry, Teacher
