A reflection on our year together 💚
Ata mārie e te whānau,
This is our final newsletter for the year, so it’s only fitting to celebrate the mahi we’ve done together over the last 12 months! Read on for an incredible list of joyful achievements.
Kia ora koutou,
Ka nui te mihi atu ki a koutou! Our watering roster is just about full, and our many seedlings planted this month will be able to thrive thanks to our fabulous community 💚 We only need one person to fill a spot on the week beginning Jan 20th – if that’s you, please let us know!
Kia ora koutou,
Isn’t it lovely to watch the rain fall over the weekend knowing it’s soaking deep into the soils, ready for our plants to grow big and strong?
Kia ora koutou,
Pizza, friends, high mauri conversations – thanks for joining us in the māra today for our final pizza event of the year. Here’s to an awesome productive week of high energy moons and stellar weather!
Kia ora koutou,
What a treat it’s been to have much needed rain washing over the māra. The soils are full of moisture again and everything is standing upright happily photosynthesising. Also, check out the surprise taewa (pic above) found in the yaćon bed!
Kia ora koutou,
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari kē he toa takitini
My success should not be bestowed onto me alone, it was not individualsuccess but the success of a collective
Ka nui te mihi for your continued work in our shared space. It’s truly flourishing at the moment. What a joy!
Kia ora koutou,
Hope you’re all keeping well on this Tirea moon. At least the sun has been shining to keep our spirits high!
Kicking off with a huge mihi to Matua Rob and Pourewa for achieveing their Hua Parakore verification. This is such a massive achievement and we want to celebrate how much work and care this has taken. Super proud of you Rob <3 thanks to the rōpu from GP that came along to celebrate. We received a kōwhai tree to commemorate the occasion and this will be planted somewhere in the māra soon.
