Wangapeka Community Weekend

June 27-29th

This is the first of two community weekends happening at Wangapeka in 2025. The other weekend is November 21-23rd

These community weekends are an invitation for the community to become more involved in the operations and decisions required to run the centre.
We want to foster a sense that all of us are guardians of this precious place, and that we all have a role that we can play in ensuring that the Wangapeka thrives.

The weekend will be time for diving deeply into themes and topics related to the functioning of the centre, and we welcome you all to come and be part of shaping this conversation.

This time is offered to the community by donation. We ask that  each person covers their food costs, and there will be an opportunity to provide dana to the centre and to the cook.

As this is a community-driven project, we are looking for people of the community who are willing to be a part of the coordination of the weekend. If you would like to contribute in any way to the crafting of this weekend, please contact Dan at: danburgessmilne@gmail.com

Costs

Costs: $52 (for food) plus Dana to the centre and cook.
