We'll be sharing waiata together - if you'd like to practice "Purea Nei" beforehand, you're welcome to!
If you're able, we'd love you to bring some kai to share at the morning tea or to help stock our new pātaka. But please know that you're also welcome exactly as you are - nau mai, haere mai.

This pātaka is a place where we can all share from our kitchens and gardens with each other. Everyone is welcome to give, and everyone is welcome to take.
Nau mai, haere mai! See you there!
