Connect with other wāhine on an intimate and sacred journey of rediscovering Atua Wāhine (Māori Goddesses). 

We will explore the Māori creation story, tapping into the fundamental principles of te ao Māori (the world Māori view), through this bountiful tale we will learn about Hine ahu one, the first woman made of clay and Hine Titama, the dawn maiden.

Through their tales we will discover themes and lessons that intimately mirror our lives, enhancing a greater understanding of the diversity and multifaceted nature of femininity.

This will be delivered through storytelling and guided embodiment practices.
