WHA KAUPEKA
Wha Kaupeka is a visionary project born from a love of the whenua and an affinity to the plants. It brings people together in a holistic manner to nourish their wairua and tinana through the medium of locally grown Rongoa and Kai Rakau. Weaving ancestral wisdom with scientific research and the spiritual guidance of the plants themselves Joss & Josie teach people how to create nourishing plant-based food and medicines.
The project consists of four wananga/workshop, each representing a different kaupeka or growing season and draws on knowledge and skills of traditional herbalism and rongoa Maori. Participants come together to experience making food and medicines; learning new skills and reconnecting to Papatuanuku and the wonderful healing and nourishing plants that grow all around us.
