Our Busy Bees are Thriving! 🐝🌸

We're excited to share the progress of our beehives! Our bees have been working hard, pulling in loads of pollen, thanks to the 2,000+ native plants we've planted to create a thriving, flower-rich environment. By establishing an ecosystem with diverse native plants, we're helping these amazing pollinators get everything they need while supporting the regeneration of our forest.

Bees are true keystone creatures, and their role in pollination is essential to sustaining life as we know it. Without them, many plants wouldn’t survive, which impacts the whole food chain, including us. It’s incredible to think of the hard work these tiny beings do to provide us with such a beautiful, balanced world.

We’re dedicated to using the best beekeeping techniques to ensure they’re happy and healthy. And we’re seeing incredible results across the land – all thanks to these beautiful creatures!

If you’ve ever been curious about bees or the vital work they do, now’s a great time to dive in and learn more. Let’s protect and celebrate our pollinators for the amazing life they help create. 🐝🌿

The place:
Hakea is a gorgeous community and retreat centre between Raglan and Kawhia, inspired by the concepts of permaculture. Everything there seems to be created from the heart, and the land vibrates ease and welcoming. It is also surrounded by ancient and peaceful Native bush. A perfect place to unfold from our busy lives, to rest in our hearts and to listen to the breathing forest...

About the host:
Clio loves to create spaces for people to meet plants, in a different way than by the book.
With her herbalist dad, she learned early on how to observe Nature and how to heal with plants.
Later on she completed two apprenticeships in shamanic herbalism with Amy McComb (Plant Rhythms) in the lineage of Susun W**d, and together went through dieta of over a 100 Native and European plants.
With a second background in physical theatre (Jacques Lecoq), she now teaches her sensible approach to herbal medicine.

Total Lunar Eclipse Viewing 🔭🌕✨ at Hakea gathering 2025

Observe this major astronomical event through an 8" Newtonian Dobsonian Telescope guided by Ja from C^ Auckland.

Joshua "Ja" Storey trained at the Stardome on One Tree Hill for 5 years before founding ecotourism project Cosmic Vibrations which is currently working with locals to have the Waitakere Mountain Range designated as an International Dark Sky Park.

The sky unites us as a species and serves as an ideal backdrop to tell new stories, to weave together our many cultures and finally recognize ourselves as one superorganism: Earth.

Join us at Hakea for this unforgettable experience under the stars. Let’s gather together to celebrate this celestial event and deepen our connection to the universe!

🌙 Don’t miss out—mark your calendars and prepare for an evening of wonder! 🌙

😍 We are excited to announce another co creator of Hakea gathering 2025 🤩

🌳 Journey with Katie Milne 🌳

Katie is an Earth-based practitioner and Medicine Woman, bridging the worlds through remembering ancient technologies that restore our connection to the organic life-force of this world. ✨

Walk through the forest with Katie and open yourself to the whimsy of plant communication. In this practical, magical, and fun workshop, explore the deep connection we share with plants that provide us with oxygen, food, shelter, and medicine.

Kia ora,

With the arrival of spring, we’re not just feeling the warmth — we’re hearing it too. The calls of the Pīpīwharauroa (Shining Cuckoo) are filling the air, a reminder of the incredible ecosystems at work around us. These birds are here because of the season’s changes, and their presence is a beautiful sign of the connection between our gardens, the land, and the wildlife.

As the soil warms, now is the perfect time to start preparing our gardens. Mulching, planting, and nurturing the earth not only enriches our homes but supports the natural world that surrounds us. The birds, the bees, and everything in between — it’s all part of the cycle we can contribute to.

Let’s celebrate the return of spring and all the life it brings by getting involved in our gardens and caring for the land. Here’s to a season of growth and connection with nature.

Ngā mihi,

Team Hakea
