ĀTA Hīkoi 24th – 27th August 2024

Whiria te Taura-here-tangata (Weave the strands of humanity together)

Interested in a unique bi-cultural learning journey centered around therapeutic mahi in the outdoors?
Check out our August Hikoi based in beautiful Kaiteretere near Motueka.

As you will see from the updated pānui (below) the dates have changed to 24th-27th August to better align the kaupapa with the maramataka. 

These 4 days of bi-cultural connecting and learning will be experienced in two haves:

The first 2 days will be based at Bethany Park in Kaiteretere with a focus of whanaungatanga and wānanga amongst our outdoor therapeutic community. People are coming from all over Aotearoa however the majority will be from Te Tau Ihu looking to learn, share and make connections. 

We are blessed to have tangata whenua attending this wānanga who will be sharing some of their incredible mātauranga Māori such as how to incorporate the maramataka into our outdoor mahi with our ākonga or tangata whai ora. 

Then the second half is hīkoi focused, a waka ama hoe together on Te Tai o Aorere to Anchorage Hut for the night. The hīkoi will keep a bi-cultural focus with sharing outdoor knowledge and skills from both tangata whenua and tangata tiriti. 

Our numbers are very limited so sign up soon if you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity to engage in rich in bi-cultural learning, outdoor knowledge and connections.
