We believe we are at the intersection of climate change, culture and community. We aim to reverse the impacts of the polycrisis facing us and enable our communities to build resilience through a circular economy. The Doughnut resonates deeply with us and we are thrilled to be developing and adapting kaupapa/projects that reflect the need to balance and prioritise systems change at all levels of society. WE are currently working on a Tribal Summit for a Circular Economy 2024 and a Kai (Food) Systems Strategy for our region.
