Mai i Kurawaka envisions a future where ikura is honoured as a sacred gift, not hidden, silenced, or shamed. Rooted in mātauranga Māori, this wānanga creates space for open, respectful kōrero and cultural reconnection.
Through traditional stories, ritual practices, and sustainable modern solutions, Mai i Kurawaka empowers whānau with tools to live in alignment with te ao Māori, where menstruation is recognised, discussed, and honoured.
Delivered as a hands-on, discussion-based workshop, Mai i Kurawaka provides a safe and inclusive space to share experiences, explore mātauranga Māori, and learn about sustainable period options.
Wānanga can be tailored to the specific group, generally to a minimum of ten participants. Funding allowing, all attendees receive a reusable period product starter pack.
