Workshops & Wānanga

Ora Aroha workshops and wānanga are inclusive spaces for learning, creativity, and connection. Each gathering weaves tikanga Māori with contemporary practice, offering experiences that are both grounding and uplifting.

Our kaupapa includes a wide range of offerings:

    •    Hauora wānanga — exploring seasonal cycles, maramataka, and holistic wellbeing.

    •    Neurodiversity workshops — practical training for schools, workplaces, and whānau to build inclusive and supportive environments.

    •    Creative workshops — from sourdough making to pottery, candle making, or weaving — experiences that nourish creativity, spark joy, and strengthen whanaungatanga.

    •    Collaborative gatherings — partnering with businesses and local practitioners to bring additional experiences that align with our values of strengthening connection and communities.

Whether small and hands-on or larger facilitated events, each workshop is shaped with clarity, care, and integrity. The focus is always on creating opportunities to reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with the whenua.

Interested in Collaborating?

If you are a business, practitioner, teacher, coach, speaker or service provider who would like to collaborate on a workshop or event, we’d love to hear from you.
