On Saturday morning we will join Tuhi Ao and Urs at Parihaka garden and work with them on tree planting.
In the afternoon we will walk into, and hear about some of the history of South Taranaki including some New Zealand Land War battles in that area.

What to Expect
A Guided Journey
This pilgrimage is a guided journey. You do not walk alone and others have gone before. It is a led walk, so you can put aside the worries of finding your way or keeping the time and be present to the moment.
What to Bring
Comfortable walking shoes and clothes, sun protection, a small backpack with snacks and water. Walking notes and the themes of the reflective pauses will be sent ahead of the day.
Costs
This is a free pilgrimage but be prepared to pay for meals, coffee and any accommodation costs or other supplies you may need along the way.
We always offer our speakers a koha of a minimum of $20 per person which will be collected on the day or can be put into the bank account.
If there is financial hardship - let us know.
