Event Spotlight
Manawa Nights
With Our Founder
—Britt Davies
April 30th | 6.30-8pm | Minden, Tauranga (address through the ticketing link)
In this open-heart kōrero, Britt will share how the threads of creativity, adventure, and connection have guided her through every season. From city life to the Southern Alps, from anti-anxiety meds to hiking remote NZ bush, from corporate burnout to building Manawa, this is a raw and honest look at growth, grief, grit—and sometimes how the most powerful thing we can do is start fresh, closer to ourselves.

What is Manawa?
It’s all about connection baby! Connection to yourself, to others, and to our environments. Through our speaker series, hands-on workshops, and immersive outdoor experiences, we create a community where women can adventure, learn and grow together.
