About the Puna |

He Puna o Ruahine is guided by the TOI WāHine framework - a living system that reflects the interconnected nature of wāhine and whānau wellbeing. There is no set order. Enter the puna where you are drawn, where support is needed, or where reflection feels right.

Return as your needs shift, nurturing intergenerational wellbeing now and into the future.

  • "Loved the medidations."

  • "Kua hinātore! For me personally this wānanga opened up a smorgasboard of both self-help and health seeking options. I came to the realisation that like so many other life events of wāhinetanga I do not need to suck it up, harden up and endure. There is plenty of education and alternative options but returning to my rituals, ceremonies, rongoā Māori and health supplements is the first option.""
