Aiyana’s moemoeā…

Commencing in October alongside the guidance and mentorship of my whānau I will be co-ordinating a 6 month journey of holistic well-being targeted specifically for wahine and framed upon the foundations of Te Ao Māori.

The entire kaupapa will be held on our kāinga in Takahiwai. Produce from our farm and maara will be used during the wananga for catering purposes and to demonstrate self-sustainability.

I would like to mihi to my grandmother’s sister, my aunty Pam, who began this kaupapa one year ago. As she has recently passed away, I desire to continue her mahi and legacy.

I am currently studying for a Bachelor of Film and a Bachelor of Bio-Medical Science at Victoria University. The majority of the wānanga series will be held over my summer break.
