Hui Takatāpui, Hui Whakawāhine

Nau Mai, Haere Mai

Te Rōpū Āwhina Whakawāhine is honoured to hold the tono of Māpuna and Hui Takatāpui 2026.

From 16–18 October 2026, we warmly welcome whakawāhine, Takatāpui whānau, community leaders, artists, health practitioners, advocates, and supporters from across Aotearoa to gather at Makaurau Marae in Tāmaki Makaurau.

Hui Takatāpui is an opportunity for us to come together kanohi ki te kanohi — to reconnect, share knowledge, strengthen relationships, celebrate our communities, and imagine the futures we want to create together.

Across three days, we will gather through wānanga, kōrero, performance, whakawhanaungatanga, kai, and collective reflection. Together we will honour the journeys of those who came before us while creating space for the next generations of whakawāhine leadership to flourish.

As hosts, Te Rōpū Āwhina Whakawāhine looks forward to welcoming you onto the marae, sharing in this kaupapa, and ensuring everyone who attends feels held, supported, and connected.
