Next date: Tuesday, 14 July 2026 | 06:00 PM to 07:30 PM
Facilitator: Ōrongomai Marae
Participants will be guided in the art of raranga (weaving), with a focus on harakeke (flax), a taonga (treasured) plant in te ao Māori. Harakeke is more than a material. It is a living entity with whakapapa, traditionally used for weaving, healing, and wellbeing.
Elders and local weavers will share kōrero (stories) about the tikanga (customs) of harvesting harakeke and its cultural significance, including its role in both spiritual and physical wellbeing.
