🌿 Protecting the Mauri of Pēpi – Wānanga 🌿
We invite you to meet your local Kaiāwhina*, alongside other local māmā, pāpā and pēpi, to share kōrero and explore traditional ways of supporting your parenting journey.*
Together, we’ll share kōrero and pūrākau about your parenting journey and explore how mātauranga Māori can support you, your pēpi and the wellbeing of your whānau. Our wish is to create a warm and culturally grounded space to connect, learn and celebrate the journey of raising pēpi.
Nau mai, haere mai🤍
