Another beautiful kaupapa for our SWBC Tane as the intro into learning Waka AMA ⭐️🙌🏾

SWBC fortunate to be in a safe space where they can work on ourselves - continue the healing, and coming out the other side better Tane for their whanau.

Part of this kaupapa is utilising our core SWBC values which is drawn Te Ao Māori Te Whare tapa wha framework, and Pasifika values (ofa, Aro’a, alofa, aroha, faka’apa’apa:

Taha Tahina ( Physical- Waka AMA )
Taha Hinengaru ( Wellbeing - talk therapy, physical therapy )
Taha wairua ( Spiritual/ purpose)
Whanau ( our why)
Add: Whenua ( Respecting the Awa, Roto, the land.

A massive thank you to our Kuki Ialani Captain George and his kids for teaching us - we appreciate you. BIG Shout out to Putāruru Waka AMA club awhi our Tane 🙌🏾 🔥⭐️❤️

Thank you to our SWBC head coordinators Goobz and CD for supporting the brothers ❤️🙌🏾

Big shout out to Putāruru Transform Aotearoa - Tane group for coming together and teaming up with SWBC 🙏🏽⭐️❤️

Side note:
While we were out training in the roto we came across a family that was stranded in their boat - engine issues. We pulled up and asked them if they needed help, which they did. Next minute, their boat was tied to our waka, tamariki jumped in our waka, parents stayed on to steer, while we did some “extra” hearty training to towing Sth African whanau back to shore. 😅😊💯🙌 ( refer to pic with all of us and our guests in the waka) ❤️ SWBC RESCUE TEAM!!!😆🚨

SWBC is a very diverse group of Tane from all backgrounds; from farming, social services, public service, car / bike enthusiasts, Kiwi, indigenous, Polynesian , Asian, the works - open to all walks of life 🙌

If your a tane that needs support- we are here for you. 💯

For some our Tane, this was there first time and they got to experience working as a team, being connected, listening, breathing, focusing, leading, and understanding there purpose / roles. This is true growth for our Tane 🙌🏾💯⭐️

Will be putting out another date for next Tane session; whanau are more then welcome to come along and support ❤️😊🙏🏽
