Dawn Wishes to Hiwa-i-te-Rangi

Dawn Wishes to Hiwa-i-te-Rangi is a special dawn ceremony marking the close of the Matariki Festival at Corban Estate Arts Centre. Led by artist Penny Howard, this gathering is a time for reflection, renewal and connection.

Wishes, hopes and dreams written by visitors throughout the festival will be offered to Hiwa-i-te-Rangi, the star of aspirations, through fire. As the Matariki cluster shines in the early-morning sky, we will come together in karakia, fire and kai.

Dress warmly and join us beneath the stars for this meaningful moment of release, intention and new beginnings.
