10 months agoWaimanako is such a beautiful place to recharge and create connections with so many people. Waimanako have so many services available, such as weekly workshops, a recharge room, creative hub, koha cafe and listening ears. All of which is very accessible to the public. Last Week, I introduced one of my friends, who has autism, to Waimanako and the difference it has made for her is remarkable. She now feels like she belongs and Waimanako is a place she can fit into and grow her social network. Her self confidence has grown and she is now a regular visitor 😊 Thank you for all you do. Your special place is full of so much Aroha. Will definitely be returning 💜

a year agoWe love the folks at the Waimanako cafe! They are the best. Food is good. This is a run by an organization that focuses on suicide prevention and serving the community. It is a donation based system that serves a lot of people that can't pay for their meal. We love the people that work at a place like this and we love sharing space with a diverse clientele.

a year agoWonderful organisation that runs programmes to provide education and uplifting spaces for the community for free or for a koha. And the koha cafe is a great place to have a coffee and something for your tummy at a very affordable price! I have the bounty of organising a meditational space on Saturday mornings at 10.30am called Soulfood. Check it out!
