Kia Ora whanau, I had a lovely afternoon spending time with Victoria and her daughter from Texas, Utah. This was my first 'Get Your Guide' experience. Victoria mentioned that I wouldn't have found you without Get Your Guide in Auckland. We enjoyed a pleasant meal together, and they gained valuable insight into the shape they created for their loved ones back home. I wish Victoria and her daughter safe travels in New Zealand and success in their future endeavors. Thank you both for supporting Absca.

Waipareira thank you once again for having us in your space. Such a lovely bunch of Tauera, laughter, determination to remove the machine marks and drilling their taonga. We had 4 rei niho and 4 roimata drops completed with great pride in their pounamu. These shapes had a special meaning to that piticular individual.
We hope to work with you real soon.

What a truly uplifting day spent with the inspiring whanau of Manukau urban Maori Authority, vibrant young rangatahi, and dedicated kai mahi nurturing our precious next generation! The overwhelming turnout was a testament to the community's enthusiasm, and every individual thoroughly enjoyed immersing themselves in the ancient art of working with pounamu, gaining a deeper understanding of its revered protocols and legends, and carefully selecting shapes that resonated with their spirits - a truly divine experience. We look forward to working with you again.
