Reflections on walking Te Araroa, Aotearoa’s long pathway with Alex Ker

Every journey begins and ends with a single step. On Sunday the 22nd November 2020, Alex embarked on a 132-day, 3000km journey that took him walking from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

Along the way, he was humbled by the ever-changing landscapes he moved through and the endlessly generous people he met. Join Alex as he shares some photos of the trail and reflections on the meaning of adventure, growth and simplicity which he discovered through putting one foot in front of the other.

He will be speaking at the worship service from 10am on Sunday 31st October, at St Ninian’s Uniting Church, Karori.

The service will also be virtually accessible via zoom. All are welcome!

Kia ora Western Ward, Neighbours Day Aotearoa 2022 will be encouraging people to connect through kai. This could be sharing a cuppa, fresh produce, a recipe or hosting a picnic or BBQ.

We thought we would kick things off now by encouraging people to share a favourite recipe.

This could be a whānau favourite, your aunty’s special chutney, a secret (or potentially not!) curry dish, or your most-loved cake.

We’ll then share your recipe throughout the land for people to try, share, and enjoy within their communities.

Either email your recipe to kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz or submit it here - www.neighboursday.org.nz....
