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!
