Wellbeing for Attendees
A significant focus of the hui will be on the wellbeing of participants, given the tender and often
sacred nature of these conversations.
Participants will be welcomed to the hui with a mihi whakatau, led by kaumatua from Hihiaua
Cultural Centre, and will be nourished with good food, lots of wellbeing tasters (such as time to
reflect, stretching, healing music and guided meditation), giving people actionable tools to take
away and share with others in their village.
There will also be lots of time to connect with others, move around and be outside in the fresh air.
A free yoga session is also being led on the Friday morning for participants.
