Come join us for a festive self-care themed event!
Together we will celebrate and share highlights and reflections on the year that was, as well as brush up on ways to care for ourselves over the holiday season. Whakanui Whaiora is all about whakawhanaunga (connecting), supporting, and uplifting each other during the festive season.
