The workshop opened with a karakia.

Whakataka te hau ki te uru              Cease oh winds of the west and of the south

Whakataka te hau ki te tonga          Let the bracing breezes flow  

Kia mākinakina ki uta                       over the land and the sea

Kia mātaratara ki tai                         Let the red-tipped dawn come

E hī ake ana te atakura                    with a sharpened edge,  

He tio, he huka, he hauhū               a touch of frost

Tihei Mauri Ora!                               a promise of a glorious day!
