What is whenu?

Whenu is a Māori word that means to turn or change direction. It is often used in the context of a hui (meeting) or a marae (meeting ground) where decisions are made collectively and the group collectively turns or changes direction in their thinking or actions. Whenu is also used in the context of learning and growth, where individuals are encouraged to turn or change direction in their thinking or behavior in order to progress or improve. It is a concept that is deeply rooted in Māori culture and values, and is a central tenet of the Māori worldview.
