Speaker Spotlight: Jacqueline Campbell – Tomorrow at Green Drinks!

Join us tomorrow for a thought-provoking kōrero with Jacqueline Campbell, Community Engagement Manager at Hōhepa Canterbury, as she explores anthroposophy — a philosophy that places human beings in deep relationship with nature and the wider cosmos.

What does this look like in practice when supporting 180 people with intellectual disabilities in Ōtautahi in 2026? Jacqueline will invite us to think differently about community, care, and our relationship with the environment — and how an alternative philosophical framework can shape the way we live and work together.
