A place to stand
Hi Neighbours, recently my brother's ashes were laid to rest at the place we grew up down south.
It made me think about the word in Te Reo - Tūrangawaewae, which refers to places where we feel especially connected, our foundation, our home. It gives us a sense of identity and belonging. People who are lucky enough to have that actually have better mental health.
Its Maori Language week and I wanted to write about this lovely word.
I hope you all can find some sense of a place to stand, and some sort of connection.
Living here in Auckland now, I find connection through the work I do, and I love bringing groups together to experience a sense of belonging. Our next group is Tue Oct 3 at 1pm.
Kind wishes, Eve
