Ways of Participating

We all come to hui carrying different whakaaro, needs and intentions. Some of us come to listen, some to learn, some to share, and some to hold and support others.

There are four ways to take part:

• Noho marae participant: For whānau who are travelling outside of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. There is capacity for 70 mattresses within the wharetīpuna.
  
  

• Day participant: For whānau who live in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and will return home each evening.
  
  

• Gala and dinner participant: For those joining us specifically for the evening celebration, dinner and gala on Rāhoroi | Saturday, 17 Whiringa-ā-nuku 2026
  
  

• Kaitūao — volunteer: For those offering their time and energy to support the hui, manaaki our whānau and help the kaupapa run smoothly.
