A quiet beginning to a new year.
Matariki is the name of a star cluster that rises in the midwinter sky, its appearance marking the beginning of a new year in te ao Māori. This is a time to remember those who have passed, reflect on the year behind us, and look forward with intention.
Each star within the cluster holds significance, connected to elements such as food, water, wind, and the environment, reflecting the relationship between people and the whenua. For many, it is both deeply personal and collective, a moment to honour the past, while gently turning toward what lies ahead.
DETAILS:
Arrive: 5.45 am for a 6 am start.
