Exploring Tiwaiwaka and the Whenua o Wangapeka

Friday 30th June 5pm – Sunday 2nd July 3pm

Ka ora te whenua, ka ora te tangata

When the land is well, the people will be well.

As the old people said, “All you have to do is get to know the plants and they will tell you everything you need to know” Pa Ropata

This weekend follows on from previous time spent with Pa Ropata (Rob McGowan) exploring the principles of Tiwaiwaka . We will come together as a community of interested people, without Pa Ropata, to learn together how to be more “literate” of the whenua at the Wangapeka, to understand better the mauri of the whenua, and to allow time to connect more deeply with “ourselves” as an intricate web of being.

The weekend will consist of group and individual time weaving together both Tiwaiwaka exploration and opportunity for meditation. Children welcome.
