Puāwai – Kai
A free group lifestyle education and cooking programme.
New courses starting Term 4
Puāwai – Kai is going through an exciting transition over the next few months. This means courses will be paused in Term 3 and will start again in Term 4 (mid-October 2023).
During the 8-session programme, you learn how small changes in the way you live can add up to a big change in your health.
The first three weeks focus on lifestyle changes, with kai to support each session. This is followed by five weeks of cooking – putting the ideas into action. All 8 sessions end with sharing kai together.
