Māmā and tamariki slow down and connect through māra kai

Being a broke single māmā was what saw Sahni Bennett (Ngāti Makō, Wairewa) turn her backyard into kai, but it's since become much bigger than that.
It's now a passion that brings her and her tamariki Paikea, Delilah, Dune Bear, and Toi Kai Rākau together, and nourishes her hauora (wellbeing) way beyond the physical, financial, and health impacts.
“Getting into the garden slows us down and helps us to connect as a whānau in the most raw and natural way.” Sahni says.
“You get joy from eating kai you've grown, and that really does change your life.”
There are many things we can do to strengthen our hauora and boost the way we feel and think.
Tell us, whānau, what do you do to nourish your hauora (wellbeing)?
