What a perfect time to explore the Hunua ranges with the rain cleaning out our rivers and the mist covering the mountain peaks, anō nei he korowai atua. Nature at its finest. In most cases, kaupapa would be cancelled because of the rain but this is Mātaiao......

Connecting through unstructured tākaro, exploring, laughing, and discovering together in the taiao. 🌿 Moments like these, free of structure, remind us of the power that lies in tākaro. They nurture our Whatumanawa—our emotional intelligence and experiences—and our Pūmanawa, those unique gifts that we inherit and carry forward. By supporting tamariki and whānau, we can help cultivate beautiful experiences where the height of Ihi and Wehi is met with Wana—the spark, excitement, and response within them. It’s these experiences that build confidence, ignite creativity, and strengthen mana in our tamariki and mokopuna. 🌊🌳 #ToiTangata #HeKuraKaHura #TeĀoTākaro #Playweek #WhānauTime ... See MoreSee Less
