The gathering is oriented around community building ethics and a value system that celebrates life, personal growth, creative expression and connection/protection of Papatūānuku. ?

Our kaupapa (set of values, principles which are the foundations for our actions) is based on:
Kaitiakitanga, Te aroha ki a Papatūānuku, care of all living systems, our planet, our oceans, waterways and forests. This was once at the heart of our well being. Our unique identity as guardians is the source of restorative cycle of aroha in our lives. ?

Whanaungatanga, Te aroha ki ngā hononga, care for the self, kin and the community. We are born to connect, born social. Strengthening our bonds with others is a central part of our lives. ?‍?‍?‍?

Manaakitanga, Te aroha ki te tangata, the very essence of respectful caring and protection of others. ?

This will be an intimate family event with limited spaces to maximize the experience of connection sharing and love. There will be spaces available till we will reach Hakea’s capacity.

To make this happen a koha/donation is necessary. This Koha will go directly to covering the costs of the Gathering. (Please note this is a non profit event and everything goes into this to make it the best we can).

We have decided on three points of donation per person that you can contribute:

One Vibe: $60
One Tribe: $80
Hakea Love: $100

We love having the whole whanau/family here and are making under 12yr free.

We understand for various reasons some people will not be able to afford this. If this resonates with you, we encourage you to get in touch and we’ll make it work. We do not want to discourage anyone due to financials. We want you and your vibrant energy here!

Koha/donations are open until the gathering begins or until we reach Hakea’s capacity. We encourage and appreciate if this is done sooner then we can put this into booking artists, workshops and other exciting activities.

The Hakea gathering is a camping style event so either bring your tent or van. There is a big grass shaded area to park/tent, bring your camping gear, food, warm clothes, swimming gear. (also marshmallows for fire), cushions to sit around, fairy lights if you have any and just anything that makes you happy. ?

We hope to co-create this transformational gathering with YOU to have a positive impact on ourselves, in our communities and the Mother Earth itself. Alongside the music; interactive arts, expression and learning spaces will be present to allow you to share, co create, co inspire, dance, play, love and learn. Let’s transform our consciousness and our world. Join us in the magical land where time slows down and the outside world drops away.

For all volunteers, workshops and artists please get in touch with us if you are interested in sharing your talents in this gathering. We hope to co-create an amazing gathering with YOU?

More details to be announced and please reach out if you have any questions.

Team Hakea ?

Our Military background created a ‘baptism of fire’ environment, at home and off shore on operations; from this we can help discern practical skills, tools, and information that is life saving as opposed to myth, common craft, ‘academic’ or amusing

If you want to get hands on and fully involved in a great learning environment then this is the workshop for you!
