We couldn't have said it better ourselves! Thank you Lianne for this wonderful summary of the topics explored and the creative minds celebrated at our Earth+ Leaders Summit.

We already have all the resources, creativity and community we need to shift our approach and the way that we interact with our planet. Get connected and find your unique contribution to change!

Opinion: There are many things we can do ourselves to reduce the impact we have on the environment, writes Lianne Dalziel

As part of the Te ao Earthweek Wellbeing Events by Terra Nova Foundation, we.are.tohorā invites you to an immersive Whale Sound Journey — a guided, multi-sensory experience featuring real underwater recordings of whales.

Blending science, sound healing, meditation, and storytelling, this unique experience invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect — with the ocean, with the whales, and with yourself.

Discover the magic of whale song, known to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and evoke joy. Each session offers a gentle “sonic interruption” from the noise of everyday life, helping you refocus, realign, and remember your connection to the living world. Leave feeling grounded, inspired, and filled with a renewed sense of wonder and belonging — for the ocean, for whales, and for all life.

📍 Where: Christchurch Multicultural Recreation Community Centre
445 Hagley Ave, Christchurch Central, Christchurch 8011

🗓️ When: Friday, 7th November | 1:00–2:00 PM
Perfect for a restful lunch break or an early Friday finish.
