Join us for the pop-up installation of Hiwa-i-te-Rangi: The Wishing Star by Penny Howard, located in the main Homestead reception area, to celebrate Te Tau Hou Māori.
You are invited to write your aspirations for Matariki on one of the wishbones in the kono (basket) and tie it to the whai (string game). These wishbones will be offered to Hiwa-i-te-Rangi, the wishing star, at our Dawn Wishes to Hiwa ceremony on Tuesday 21 July, 6.30am.
As Matariki shines in the early-morning sky, we will come together in karakia, fire and kai. Dress warmly and join us beneath the stars.
