CELEBRATING OUR TUIA RANGATAHI MYSTEEQ!
Mauri Ora e te Iwi! Earlier this month, you may have seen our post, or remember reading about Mysteeq on her way to the Tuia I Roto wānanga, at Waikawa Marae, near Picton. The team welcomed her back, safe and well, from her wananga and thought we would give her some time to settle back in at home and digest all that Matauranga Māori.
As she shared her experience you could feel the enthusiasm in her words. The cold mornings kicked off with jump jam to warm up the tinana(body), followed by warming the puku(stomach) with a delicious breakfast prepared by the dedicated tuakana(experienced rangatahi). After fueling the ranagatahi with kai the days featured meaningful sharing sessions where rangatahi delved deep into personal and collective reflections of “wanting to help more, to help kids in general, like youth work”, Mysteeq say’s. “My favorite part was getting to talk about myself, Roto is all about opening up, to share your story, to share my story, my full story”
Mysteeq and co, visited the historic Te Rae o Karaka Point. They listened to enlightening kōrero about the migration from Taranaki to Waikawa and heard stories that shared the significance of the location. The group then enjoyed a peaceful walk along the beautiful beach, connecting with the land and each other.
Mysteeq returned from the wānanga feeling inspired, connected, and ready to apply the lessons learned to her next journey and community.
We know how much you love seeing success in our community so a webpage is currently in development, with videos, photos and reflection journals. Continue to watch this space as Mysteeq grows so will the excitment of her journey.....
