A sacred space to honour the body, spirit, and whakapapa of māmā.

Join us this Mother’s Day weekend for a deeply nourishing rongoā wānanga, celebrating the sacred essence of wāhine and the nurturing forces that live within and around us. This is your invitation to pause, reconnect, and replenish.

Guided by the wisdom of our atua wāhine —
✨ Hine-ahu-one, the first woman, shaped from clay
✨ Hine-tītama, the dawn of awareness
✨ Hine-nui-te-pō, guardian of transformation
✨ Hine-te-iwaiwa, atua of childbirth, creativity and weaving
🌕 Hina, goddess of the moon and feminine rhythm —
we weave their presence into a beautiful experience of healing, hauora, and aroha.

🌿 What to Expect:

Karakia & Mihi Whakatau to open the space with intention and calm
Wāhine Wellness Circle – kōrero about balancing hinengaro, tinana, and wairua
Atua Wāhine Stories – connecting motherhood to atua and maramataka
Rongoā Workshop – create your own healing oil using kawakawa, horopito, and kopakopa, with kōrero on their unique gifts for wāhine wellbeing
Whakatau Hinengaro – guided meditation or sound practice for calm
Whakanoa with Kai – grazing platter and herbal teas shared together
Closing Karakia & Gift – take home your own healing hinu
