With a common sense of purpose, people from all walks of life connect with one another. Aspirations and experiences are shared, and friendships are formed. This series of workshops is not just a learning experience, it's a journey of wellbeing where we acknowledge the important people in our lives, celebrate our achievements and reflect on the challenges we or members of our whanau has overcome. We all grow from this experience. What a privilege.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.
