This Matariki (13–19 July), give your team the opportunity to step away from the demands of work and reconnect with each other, with history and with the values that guide us forward.
Hosted by Te Ihu o Mataoho Tours, this half-day mana whenua-led experience is designed to strengthen team connection, support wellbeing, deepen cultural understanding and create space for reflection and future planning.
Set within the longest continually occupied Maaori settlement in Taamaki Makaurau, Auckland, your team will experience one of Aotearoa's most significant cultural landscapes while engaging in meaningful conversations about identity, resilience, belonging and aspiration.
