Te Āwhina Marae & Te Māra o Puanga Kairau
Here-turi-kōkā | August
Kia ora e te whānau o Wakatū,
We are looking forward to seeing you on Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 August for our second Karioi wānanga in the current series taking place from June 2022 through to May 2023.
This wānanga is part of our mahi to reconnect whānau to whenua through growing indigenous crops using tikanga-led practices.
Over the course of the two days, we will explore the concept of mauri as it relates to healthy soils, plants, kai and people; continue to define tikanga-led principles and practices, and develop tikanga for on the mara and the different roles and responsibilities for wāhine and tāne.
Time will be spent both on the marae and out in the māra planting trees for stage 2 of our native shelterbelt. Our facilitators for the August wānanga will be:
Glen Skipper, Māra Advisor
Erina Wehi-Barton, Tikanga-led Taiao Practitioner
Rōpata Taylor, Tumu Manaaki Tāngata, Wakatū
Kerensa Johnston, Tumu Whakarae, Wakatū
Te Kawa Robb, Kaitiaki Taiao, Mauri Ora Consulting & Kaiārahi, Para Kore Marae Inc
During the wānanga, whānau will be invited to share their māra stories with us. Whānau will also have the opportunity to share something from home – whether it be kai, seed, preserves, rongoa etc. This is an invitation only and there is no expectation for whānau to bring something along, but if you would like to please feel free.
This wānanga will be noho marae at Te Āwhina on Monday 29 August 2022.
Please click the RSVP button above if you wish to attend the wānanga by Tuesday 23 August 2022.

Health, safety and wellbeing
We are pleased to announce that the Karioi wānanga will go ahead under the current orange setting for the Covid-19 Protection Framework and our Wakatū COVID-19 guidelines. Vaccination Passes are no longer required to participate in Karioi events.
As part of our protocols for Covid-19, and to help keep everyone well, please do not attend the wānanga if you are unwell or if you have felt unwell in the 48 hours before the hui. If you start to feel unwell during the wānanga, please let Garry or one of the Manaaki team know as soon as possible.
The usual Covid-19 protocols - frequent hand-washing, and cough and sneezing etiquette will apply throughout the wānanga. When you arrive at Te Āwhina marae, please go to the wharekai to sign-in and register your attendance. As part of your registration, we will have a brief wellness questionnaire managed by one of our team.
Te Māra o Puanga Kairau is a very short walk from the marae. We will walk to the site as group, and we ask that you remain vigilant for any potential hazards as you will be crossing a rural road to get to the site.

We will be working in the māra, so please bring gardening clothes that you can change into and wet weather gear in case of wet weather.
