Breakout experiences inside the journey

Six labs. One question asked six ways.

Native bees (Ngāro Huruhuru), beekeeping, soil, gardens, cymatics and Bee Breathing – hands-on breakouts woven through the eight-stage programme, mostly inside Stage 04: Nature Knows. Every lab ends the same way: what does this teach us about making our community more resilient?

Labs are facilitated by working beekeepers, scientists and educators, and are slotted into the eight-stage journey wherever they best serve the stage – mostly Stage 04: Nature Knows, but drawn on throughout. See the full sequence on The Programme.
