🔔 Final Call – Matariki Wānanga
A 3-Day Holiday Programme at Tarimano Marae 💚💯

Kia ora e te whānau,
We are all set for our wānanga at Tarimano Marae – starting tomorrow!

🕙 Whakatau at 10am – please aim to arrive a little earlier to settle in.

This is a space to be unapologetically us, be whānau, and be together.

We ask for a koha of at least $20 per whānau towards kai costs.
If you’re unable to koha financially, you’re welcome to contribute kai for your whānau instead but don’t let it be a reason not to come out and be in the space whānau.

📍 Tarimano Marae
🗓️ Starts tomorrow – 10am whakatau
💬 Final registrations are still open

Haere mai – we can’t wait to see you all! 🖤✨

Tēnā koutou e te whānau, We are calling on our incredible Ngāti Rangiwewehi rangatahi to join us in an exciting journey in Kapahaka and Whakaari

27/06/2025

Tēnā tātou te whānau,

If anyone is needing mirimiri, I’ll be available from our space on Pukaki Street this week.

I’m also opening up time specifically to tautoko our tāne. I'm part of a hīkoi rōpū that walks with some very sensitive kaupapa, and I’ve seen the weight many of our brothers carry in silence.

Every week, we head to the Ngāhere to reconnect, to remember. And now, through this space, I’m offering a place where tāne can come through, sit down, and kōrero — especially around fatherhood, identity, and healing.

I’m a kaitiaki of a tama with takiwātanga, and this mahi helps me stay connected — not just as a practitioner, but as a pāpā, as a man walking alongside our people.

Me and my whānau have been deeply supported by the wairua practitioners of Mauri Tau Mauri Ora, who’ve gifted us the space to do this mahi. I’ve really valued that time, and I’m looking forward to future opportunities to grow and serve through that relationship.

If you’re a tāne, or know one who needs a space — I’ve got time for you.

E mihi ana ki a koutou.

✨ Update from Matawai ✨

E te whānau, we acknowledge that we haven’t been operating from our space as usual, but we’re still here, moving forward in a positive way. 💫 We’re working towards reopening and planning a relaunch of our services—more details to come!

In the meantime, we’ve been continuing our mahi with Mauri Tau Mauri Ora Trust and running regular clinics alongside Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Pikiao. We’re also in the final stages of becoming ACC registered, which means we’ll soon be able to offer more support to whānau in need.

This week, Rahera will be facilitating an Atua Wāhine session with another organisation, continuing our kaupapa of reconnecting with our stories and healing practices. 🌿

On the surface, business may not seem busy, especially on social media but Te Whare o Hine Pūrākau is still standing, we are still offering rongoā to our whānau, and we are still walking this path with purpose. ✨

Thank you for your ongoing support, whānau. More updates coming soon! 🙌🏽
