Hakea Gathering 26th of February - 4th of March 2026 Email: hakearetreat@gmail.com Phone: +64 204 065 1373 Location: 141 Phillips Road, 3894 Raglan We believe people are the land. 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.
