In her latest best-selling and perceptive book, Ara, Dr Hinemoa Elder MNZM (Te Aupōuri, Ngāti Kurī, Te Rarawa, Ngāi Takoto, Ngāpuhi nui tonu) introduces us to Hinengaro, the Māori goddess of the mind, who leads us through 23 rua, caves, into the depths of Papatūānuku, our earth mother, and back to the surface again.

Join Dr Elder with artist, designer, facilitator, educator and creative advocate Arohanoa Mathews (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui) for an invaluable insight into how Hinengaro’s wisdom can help us bolster our wellbeing, face life challenges, navigate chaos, build resilience and work our way through the complexities of our own minds. A must-attend event for anyone looking for inspiration, comfort and solidarity in an uncertain time.

“Dr Hinemoa Elder’s books beautifully complement her own work within hauora and whānau, with reflections on our traditions, that provide reference and relevance to our present and future – “kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua”.” – Dame Hinewehi Mohi
