Grow your Pepeha

Pepeha is a uniquely Māori concept of introducing oneself. It is at the heart of whakawhanaungatanga in terms of its power to make connections and give oneself context, drawing upon both whakapapa (genealogy and lineage) and whenua (land and environment). It celebrates a sense of place and kinship. And it follows the water cycle which imparts the importance of wai and being part of our natural world.
