We are excited to announce the Ruahine Menopause Empowerment Symposium!

Date: 14th December 2024

Time: 7.30am - 4.00pm

Location: Rotorua

Join us for a powerful day of kōrero, connection, and learning, focused on traditional Māori practices surrounding Ruahinetanga (menopause). Together, we will create a supportive framework for wāhine across Aotearoa.

We are also thrilled to announce that the talented Anika Moa will be our MC for the Ruahine Menopause Empowerment Symposium. Anika’s passion for wāhine empowerment and her vibrant and humorous energy will guide us through a day of inspiring kōrero and connection.

We’re honored to have Dr. Ngahuia Murphy, Dr. Sally Rye, and Awhitia Mihaere as our mana wahine speakers, sharing their expertise throughout the day. Ticket packages include the opportunity to pre-order Dr. Ngahuia Murphy’s stunning new pukapuka 'Intuitive Ritual'—launching in November—at a 10% discount, with book signings available during the event.

Cabaret Dinner

Relax into the evening for a captivating cabaret dinner featuring a mesmerizing performance by Wairea Performing Arts, as they weave together and celebrate the divine essence of our atua wahine. Be intoxicated in the mauri, the life force of our female deities, as Wairea brings their powerful narratives to life, honouring the strength, wisdom, and grace of wāhine Māori. This event promises an unforgettable evening filled with cultural richness, emotional depth, and artistic excellence, creating a space to connect with the sacred feminine energy that flows through us all.
