A whānau wānanga, at your pace

At home or marae. Anyone can pass, pause or leave.

  1. Ask local hosts about tikanga, access and an appropriate opening. Choose a verified, attributed whakataukī with guidance if you wish; none is prescribed here.
  2. Agree privacy: no recordings, photographs or sharing without permission.
  3. Take turns sharing: where things began, what changed, what matters now. Both people can teach. Detours are welcome.
  4. Share kai, time and the jobs people choose.
  5. Choose one small next step. Ask what support is welcome.
  6. Close as your hosts choose. Follow up only by invitation.
