Manaakitanga in Motion

Raising funds for a dedicated Care Spaces & Consent Club van

Manaaki - To support, care for, uplift, show kindness, generosity, and respect towards another person.

Manaakitanga - The practice, value, and expression of caring for others through generosity, hospitality, respect, and uplifting their mana.

Come gather with us for a special evening celebrating music, movement, connection, and collective care.

This gathering is a celebration of the people and communities who make safer spaces possible; while raising funds to help bring Care Spaces and Consent Club's summer mahi on the road and in paddocks across the motu.

For years, Care Spaces and Consent Club have been showing up across festival communities throughout Aotearoa; creating places where people can pause, reconnect, feel supported, and be cared for.

From consent support and harm reduction, to offering a soft place to land when things feel overwhelming, this mahi is rooted in the belief that looking after each other matters.

This fundraiser is about helping us take the next step; raising funds towards a dedicated van to carry the resources, equipment, and people needed to keep this mahi moving wherever it is needed.

Expect a night of:

• DJs and music from our incredible community

• A journey through sound, from deep grooves to dancefloor energy

• Spaces for connection, creativity, rest, and reflection

• Community offerings and surprises

• Opportunities to contribute to a kaupapa built on manaakitanga/the practice of care.

Whether you’re a seasoned festival creature, a curious newcomer, or someone who simply believes in creating kinder spaces, you are warmly invited.

Manaakitanga is something we carry.
Manaakitanga is something we create together.

Come dance, connect, and help us keep care moving.

Mauri Ora!
