Weekly accessible health walk in Raumati Beach - all welcome!
Our weekly health walks have been established to create a supportive environment for people to start to enjoy the many benefits of being more physically active. Walking requires no special equipment or expense and is the ideal way for most people to become more active.as well as more connected to each other. At Te Ara Korowai we offer a weekly health walk in Raumati Beach, Walking is great for our mental wellbeing as is connecting with nature and each other! We invite you as our neighbours to join us any week on our walk. We would love to meet you! The term restarts on 16th January with the walk every Tuesday and our walkers will leave at 9.30am from Te Ara Korowai in Raumati Beach for a 30 minute accessible and low impact walk. Refreshments are available afterwards in our art studio.
We also have a Monday yoga session from 11.30 - 12 at Te Ara Korowai with Swami Madhuram from Yoga in Daily Life. Such a great way to start the week by controlling our breathing and having a big old stretch!
Info is attached!
All welcome, all sessions are free to attend (although a koha in our donations box is always appreciated!)

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
