Kotahi karihi nāna ko te wao tapu nui a Tāne.

The creation of the forests of Tāne comes from one kernel.

Kia ora koutou,

Over the years, Hakea has become a collective project where creativity is gathered and shared in variety of forms including art, knowledge, music and much more. It is a place for alternative thinking as well as conscious celebrations. For that reason, we are grateful to announce the next Hakea gathering.

Hakea gathering is oriented around community building ethics and a value system that celebrates life, personal growth, creative expression and connection/protection of Papatūānuku 🌳

Our kaupapa (set of values, principles which are the foundations for our actions) is based on:

Kaitiakitanga, Te aroha ki a Papatūānuku, care of all living systems, our planet, our oceans, waterways and forests. This was once at the heart of our well being. Our unique identity as guardians is the source of restorative cycle of aroha in our lives 🙏

Whanaungatanga, Te aroha ki ngā hononga, care for the self, kin and the community. We are born to connect, born social. Strengthening our bonds with others is a central part of our lives 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧

Manaakitanga, Te aroha ki te tangata, the very essence of respectful caring and protection of others 🌈

This will be an intimate family event with limited spaces to maximize the experience of connection sharing and love. There will be spaces available till we will reach Hakea's capacity.

Hakea gathering is a camping style event so either bring your tent or van. There is a big grass shaded area to park/tent, bring your camping gear, food, warm clothes, swimming gear. (also marshmallows for fire), cushions to sit around, fairy lights if you have any and just anything that makes you happy 😊

We hope to co-create this transformational gathering with YOU to have a positive impact on ourselves, in our communities and the Mother Earth itself. Alongside the music; interactive arts, expression and learning spaces will be present to allow you to share, co create, co inspire, dance, play, love and learn. Let's transform our consciousness and our world.

Step into a world where sustainability and abundance flourish. Experience the magic of this enchanting land.

Arohanui
