Join us this International Women's Day for dance, comedy, poetry, music + more!

Ashlee from Mount Cook

For International Women’s Day 2023, we’re showcasing the voices and talents of women and gender diverse people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Join us at Fourth-Wave, a festival which aims to celebrate intersectionality and empower women through kōrero and performance.

Fourth-Wave will feature dance, comedy, poetry, music, plus a live recording of a panel for our Get Woke Wellington radio show and podcast. Finger food will be provided, and a cash bar will be available for the purchase of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Follow our Facebook event for announcements on our performers: www.facebook.com...

This is an event for everyone - we welcome people of all genders and ages. Thank you in advance for being respectful, kind, and considerate to other attendees, and helping us make Fourth-Wave truly safe and fun for all.

The Wellington Branch of National Council of Women New Zealand is excited to present Fourth-Wave for the first time in 2023. Get your tickets before they sell out - prices starting from $20! events.humanitix.com...

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
