About This Kaupapa
It’s here! A Whare Hau Tutū & tiAki raranga collaboration :
Becoming Friendly with Muka – an introduction to muka, the fibre of harakeke.
This is the Kaupapa so many have been asking for – and Julz has [finally] said yes [again]!
A wānanga offering a gentle pathway into tupuna techniques of extracting muka and miro.
We will mahi as a small roopu learning together and holding space for each other – laughter and whanaungatanga compulsory.
