🌿 Introduction to Foraging & Rongoā Māori: Wānanga and Walk
Advertisement
🌿 Whakawhanaungatanga with the Healing Plants of Aotearoa 🌿
Time: 10: 30 am 30 August ( Sunday )
Location: Meeting at Betsy Eyre Park, 120 Brook Street
Join Jingjing for a gentle 3-hour guided walk along the brook, discovering the edible and healing plants growing around us — their names, stories, traditional uses, and the relationships they hold with people and the whenua.
🌱 As the cost of living rises, nature reminds us of its endless generosity. Wild foods offer more than nourishment — they carry mauri, the life force and connection of the natural world.
This is more than a plant identification walk. It is an invitation to slow down, observe, and build meaningful connections with plants, people, and the whenua through whakawhanaungatanga.
🌿 During the walk, you will:
🌱 Learn how to identify common edible and healing plants
📖 Hear the stories and traditional uses of plants in Rongoā Māori
🤲 Explore respectful harvesting practices and ways to care for the whenua
🌸 Connect with plants through seeing, touching, smelling, and tasting
📚 Receive a 50-page learning guide to support your ongoing journey
🌼 Who is this for?
Perfect for beginners, nature lovers, families, and anyone curious about traditional wellbeing practices.
No previous plant knowledge needed — just curiosity and an open heart. 💚
Wheelchair friendly.
