June 21st, 2025
We are super excited to be launching our Holistic Wellbeing Expo back in Hauraki. The wairua has called us home to where we have a strong connection over the years and we know that our Nans have paved this way for us, and it was only right to launch our new kaupapa here. So, if you have any of these amazing gifts, provide any of these services, know of any whanau and friends who do and could be keen to be a vendor at this event then flick us an email at: [email protected]
Story Telling Through Art
Dianne will be leading a new creative class at the centre for those that would like to use mixed media to tell a life Story(s). Dianne had this to say about this exciting new initiative. “Telling our stories has been a part of our human experience since mankind first took to creating images on cave walls and the stories of creation that we told around the ancient fires.Our stories become part of our collective Manual for Life and as we tell them, they shed light on the path for others travelling the same way, encouraging and strengthening each other to keep on putting one foot in front of the other.”
