It’s about providing a safe space for an open and honest conversation about healthier and sustainable alternatives for the menstrual cycle.

Ikura Wānanga

This is a story from one of  our kaiārahi, Arohanui West,  who has been delivering our  Ikura Wānanga online.

What is the Ikura Wānanga?

This wānanga raises awareness for the te ao Māori  worldview of ikura. We talk about colonisation and its  impact on the relationship we have with our ikura, and  how in contrast, traditional Māori practices celebrated  the mana of ikura.

We discuss the waste that single-use conventional  products produce and how harmful it is to the  environment. We also talk about the ways and methods  of our tupuna and the modern alternatives that are  available today.
