Nau mai haere mai ki Te Noho Kiriahi - Holding up the House

The session will be in conversation with Oscar Harnett , a local outdoor educator and mental health advocate hosted alongside Te Akatoki Akatoki at the Whare!

Drawing on Te Whare Tapa Whā, the outdoors, whenua, and his own lived experience, Oz will explore what it means to look after each part of our whare — and how connection to people, place, culture and ourselves can help us find our feet again.

Whether you’re looking to learn something new, meet like-minded people, or simply be part of a welcoming community, Te Noho Kiriahi is a space where kōrero and genuine connections can thrive.
