Celebration of Wangapeka’s 50th Anniversary
Fifty years since the Sphere Group planted their potent possibility on a barren patch of the Wangapeka, we gather to walk backwards into the future—to harvest what has ripened, plant seeds for those yet to come, and celebrate this ground of learning, refuge and transformation that has pulled us into its magnetic orbit. Come share stories of this whakapapa, explore the whenua, and shape the Centre's next half-century with open hearts and clear minds.
