In our journey to connect people back to Papatūānuku (Mother Earth), we recognise that indigenous and traditional knowledges from all around the world are the foundation of permaculture and other sustainable practices. As we learn, re-learn, and share the tools to equip us on the path of having a positive impact, we show gratitude, respect and give many thanks to wisdom- keepers of past, present and future. Ngā mihi nui.
