**THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO HER FLIGHT NOT BEING ABLE TO LAND
SHE WILL BE IN-STORE SAT 6TH SEPT. TO SIGN COPIES OF HER NGĀ PUKAPUKA**
Nau mai, haere mai! Join us for this very special event to meet Dr Hinemoa Elder and hear all about her latest book, Ara: A Māori guidebook of the mind, published by Penguin NZ.
Dr Hinemoa Elder will talk about chapters in Ara, and how she has delved into a unique exploration of how to think about thinking, rooted in the wisdom of Māori culture.
In Ara, Dr Hinemoa Elder introduces us to a profound journey guided by Hinengaro, Māori goddess of the mind, leading us through 23 specific rua, caves, into the unfamiliar depths of Papatūānuku, our earth mother, and back to the surface again.
Hinengaro offers us a dedicated path to gather insights, face challenges and help us navigate the complexities of our minds.
Hinemoa will be signing books.
All welcome!
