Every event on Connect Whā strengthens at least one of the four pillars that hold our wellbeing together.
Move, rest, nourish. Free gym sessions, hīkoi, and classes for every level.
Spaces to think clearly. Workshops, services, events wānanga, and rōpū that strengthen the mind.
Reconnect with who you are. Karakia, waiata, ngahere walks — kaupapa that grounds.
We heal together. Events for parents, tamariki and support groups for every whānau.
One of the key kaupapa we explore is co-dependency. Our aim is to create awareness around patterns of reliance—both on others and on substances—so that whaiora can navigate their journey with greater autonomy.
He Waka Tapu We are a team of wāhine dedicated to reducing barriers to screening. We want to enable wāhine to protect their health and whakapapa, understand why screening is important, and know how to navigate the screening pathways.
