Kua rewa Te Maramataka hou a Te Takere o Te Arawa 2026-2027

Our new 2026-2027 Maramataka wall planner has now been uploaded!

Inspired by previous Maramataka and imbued with the same aroha and rich kōrero tuku iho. The background transports our whakaaro back to our ancestral homeland paradise of Hawaiki. It serves as a reminder of where we come from, how our tūpuna utilised Te Whānau Mārama and ngā tohu o te taiao to navigate from Hawaiki to Aotearoa, the feats they achieved in their time, and that we too can achieve great things today and into the future.

Kia pono hoki mātau, with the makariri really settling in now, a warm reminder of Hawaiki hanging on the wall may encourage us to use our maramataka more often! It also reminds us that no matter how cold it gets, Raumati is always only six or so kaupeka (stellar-lunar months) away. That may be just the motivation needed to start saving for a well-deserved trip to another motu o Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, or to finally plan that long-overdue visit to one of our stunning beaches here in Aotearoa when Raumati returns.

Kia hari, kia koa tā koutou whakamahi i tēnei rauemi.
