He Rau Harakeke

Harakeke for me is a journey, a reconnection back to who I am. Above and below the whenua it is buzzing with life and I am forever grateful for the many gifts I’ve received from this plant. It is a dynamic plant, strong and soft, one that will weather any storm. And it’s ability to hold water always has me in awe.
