With a vision for 1,000 markers for reflection to last 1,000 years, Paererewā has been established to create thresholds between the everyday and something deeper - places to sit or rest that encourage us to reflect and think longer-term.
Kei tukua koe kā rongo | In stillness we sense
Kei aro koe kā mārama | In presence we hear
Kei tūhono koe kā oho | In connection we are conscious
