Te Pūaha Talks has an exciting range of online capability workshops and webinars scheduled for the coming months. This programme of free events, supported by Foundation North, has been designed and curated based on what people working in social impact have told us they want.
Each event is an opportunity to learn from people who are leaders, innovators, and influencers in their areas of expertise. The aim is to help participants build their knowledge and confidence to apply what they learn to their own community organisation or area of practice.
Recordings of the webinars will be available online through Te Pūaha o te Ako, alongside additional resources such as templates and links to related sources of information.

Hauora: Rest, reflect and reset for Matariki
Hosted by Tuihana Ohia
Matariki is a time to rest, reflect on the year past, and reset for the year ahead. Over three sessions, Tuihana guided us through this process using the Te Whare Tapa Whā wellbeing model developed by Sir Mason Durie. The model uses the image of the four walls of the wharenui to describe the elements of health and wellbeing: taha wairua/spiritual wellbeing; taha hinengaro/mental and emotional wellbeing; taha tinana/physical wellbeing, and; taha whānau/family and social wellbeing.
