Matariki is a time where people, whānau, and communities gather together to remember the year that has passed, to celebrate the present, and to plan for the next year. It is a time to remember our loved ones who are no longer with us, to feast and celebrate with our relatives and friends, and to look towards the future and the hope of a season full of bounty.
"Mā mua ka kite a muri, mā muri ka ora a mua"
Those in front give sight to those behind; those behind give life to those ahead.
At Better Days, we value connection with whānau across generations, and the knowledge, experiences, and support that help us move forward together.
