Containing 50 rich stories by 38 writers across the Pacific, never before have so many Moana women writers gathered together to share their stories.

Please note: Masks must be worn by adult attendees. Live streaming and photos will occur for our social media outlets.

"Stories that tell Covid how we REALLY feel, where a Centipede God watches on with wry humour and wrath, where a sexy Samoan goes on a hot Tinder date in Honolulu, where a New Zealand doctor is horrified to be stuck at her cousin’s kava drink up in Fiji, where Moana people travel the stars and navigate planets, stories where Ancestors and Atua live and breathe. Stories that defy colonial boundaries, and draw on the storytelling and oratory that is our inheritance. Immerse yourself in the intrigue, fantasy, humour and magic of beautiful strong stories by 38 writers from across the Moana."

Polystyrene recycling

Jeff from Freemans Bay

There is help for families affected by problem drinking.

In extreme cases, an alcoholic may be homeless, but many live in families that are struggling because of the challenges that come with problem drinking.

Family members become lonely, isolated, ashamed and depressed. They feel that life has become unmanageable or unbearable. Al-Anon-Alateen Family Groups is a support programme for people who are living with or have lived with the problems of someone else's drinking.

Al-Anon and Alateen for young people offer understanding and personal growth - whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. There are free of charge meetings daily around Auckland. To find one visit online here.

Members share their experiences of applying the Al-Anon principles to their lives. There is no advice given or specific direction suggested.

Below are a few thoughts from people who have tried Al-Anon:

"I believed that the only thing I needed to be happy and safe was for my husband to stop drinking."

"My life had got so out of control not knowing what my state my daughter would be in when I got home."

"I thought I was strong enough to deal with this on my own...After trying everything, I went to my first meeting."
