Mauri Ora Hīkoi ~ Join us to acknowledge Every Life Matters ✨
Leeanne Meikle is a writer, speaker, mother, and grandmother from Aotearoa New Zealand. Her life has been profoundly shaped by the loss of her brothers to su***de, alongside her own personal journey through mental unwellness and diagnoses, and the path of healing and understanding that followed.
These lived experiences inform the honesty and compassion she brings when speaking about grief, mental health, and the strength it takes to keep going.
Leeanne is the author of The Agape Bloom, a gentle yet powerful book for those who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts or life circumstances. At its heart is a simple message: when the mind becomes a cruel dictator in our lives, it is time for a sacred ceasefire. Copies of the book will be available at the event for those who wish to explore this message further.
Leeanne shares her story to help reduce shame, break isolation, and remind others that even in the darkest moments, connection, compassion, and hope are still possible.
Leeanne feels deeply honoured to stand with the Mauri Ora Hīkoi community in remembrance, truth, and light.
