Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

Tēnā koutou e te whānau.

Next week, Kai & Kōrero invites our tāne to tell their stories through kōwhaiwhai.

Kōwhaiwhai is more than art—it is a visual language that carries identity, whakapapa, experiences, and aspirations.

As we journey through the patterns together, we'll discover what resonates with us and use this creative process to express who we are, how we see ourselves, and the moemoeā that guide us forward.

Kai & Kōrero

Tāne if you want to tap in, we are on every fortnight. Our next session is on the 17th of Friday.

Kia ora koutou katoa... Mōrena, e te whānau.

Mā te whakakaha i te tangata, ka whakakaha i te whānau.
Mā te whakakaha i te whānau, ka puāwai te hapori.

Tāne mā

Come and share some kai with like minded tāne in a relaxed space where conversations grow naturally, ideas are shared, and together we shape what this kaupapa becomes.

This is your space.
Your voice.
Your whakaaro.

Together we'll create a space that strengthens tāne, supports whānau, and inspires the aspirations we hold for ourselves and future generations.

📍 Where: Te Manawa Family Services – Palmerston North

🕜 When: Friday | 1:30pm – 3:30pm

Haere mai. Kei a tātou tēnei kaupapa.

✨ White Ribbon Day Aotearoa ✨

On Sunday night we were honoured to share kai and kōrero with the White Ribbon Riders at Kauwhata Marae. This gathering was a powerful reminder of the collective commitment we share to end violence and promote healthy, respectful relationships in our communities.

A heartfelt thank you to the Riders for the incredible mahi you do across Aotearoa — your dedication, courage, and compassion inspire us every day.

Ngā mihi nui to Kauwhata Marae for welcoming us so warmly into your beautiful space, and to the Kauwhata Māori Women’s Welfare League for the delicious catering that nourished both body and spirit.

Together, we stand united for change.

White Ribbon Day – let’s keep the kōrero going. 🤍
