Hakihea | A Place to LandClosing the year through sound, reflection and community.
By December, there can be a lot to catch up with in ourselves. The year has happened, sometimes quickly, and we may still be finding words for parts of it.
Our final gathering of 2026 is a place to pause with all of that.
Hakihea is associated with the time when birds sit on their nests. For this afternoon, we’ll take that seasonal image as a starting point: a place to land after everything the year has held.
We’ll make time to acknowledge what we’ve experienced, remember the people and moments that have mattered, and recognise what has helped us through. Some things may feel complete. Others may still need time.
Gratitude can sit alongside grief, tiredness or uncertainty. You’re welcome to arrive with whatever is true for you.
We’ll begin with a short introduction to Hakihea and the theme of our gathering, followed by time for personal reflection. Then we’ll move into a guided sound journey, with room to lie back, listen and rest.
You might come with something you want to acknowledge before the year ends. You might simply appreciate an afternoon where there’s time to stop. There’s no expectation to share your reflections with the group.
You’re welcome to arrive early and spend some time in the surrounding gardens. Whether you’ve joined us throughout the year or this will be your first gathering, I’d love to welcome you.
With love,
Tenille
