As the stars of Matariki rise once again, we’re reminded to pause and reflect. It is a special time to honour those who have gone before us, celebrate the people and moments that enrich our lives today, and look forward with hope to all that the new year may bring.

I hope this Matariki gives you the opportunity to slow down, spend time with those you love, and perhaps even carve out a little creative time for yourself. Wishing you a joyful and meaningful Matariki.

Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki
Mānawa maiea te Mātahi o te tau

Celebrate the rising of Matariki
Celebrate the rising of the New Year
