This year, Mindfulness Month is fully community-powered.
TAIORA is carrying the kaupapa forward without funding - so everything is being offered with aroha on a voluntary basis. This year there are no journals and no fundraising required.
Please be kind and patient with any delays - we’re a small team of two doing our best to support a big-hearted community.
