We gathered on a beautiful local Marae, connected and shared learnings together.
Acclaimed author and Police Negotiations expert, Lance Burdett delivered a great presentation on Tana Hinegaro- Mental and Brain Health . He had us breathing differently and sleeping better (not during the presentation though!)
Arohanui Allen’s insightful and powerful delivery of Te Tiriti, He Whakaputanga and how we are all navigating this world together, brought emotion, deep longings, and understandings to the forefront.
Joy Eaton from NZ Youth Mentoring Network shared a fab few hours of valuable wisdom and tools for mentoring youth .
Our kaumatua, Arena Allen and Reuben Heihei shared whakapapa, history, te ao Māori and tikanga.
Together, we all laughed, learnt, and built stronger relationships.
Together, we all grew in understanding and compassion.
Together we strengthened our Angel whānau of volunteers and supporters.
