Puāwai Women’s Programme has come out of the programme SHINE WOMEN from Australia. However, after running the SHINE programme several times in New Zealand, we felt the need to localize it and reestablish its foundation in Faith and the needs of women in Aotearoa. SHINE WOMEN focuses on WORTH, STRENGTH and PURPOSE which are values that are at the core of this newly developed Puāwai Women’s Programme but we also bring in the love of Christ and aim to strengthen and stand firmly in our identity in Him. We know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We use Prayer, Scripture and the presence of the Holy Spirit to transform us during the sessions. As well as sharing Self-Development and Mindset tools and strategies to understand ourselves better and move forward positively.
The programme runs one day a week, every week of the school term with the exception of Public Holidays. We have 60 minutes of content and work in the session and then another 60 minutes of kai time, extra support and prayer and fellowship. The following are the topics that we cover during the term. Each participant starts the programme receiving journals and stationery and treats. And ends with receiving Goodie Bags including bibles and more treats. Suitable for 8 - 12 participants per group. Possible to run 2-3 groups per term, different days, times and locations.

The desert and the dry ground will be glad. The dry places will be full of joy. Flowers will grow there. Like the first crocus in the spring, The desert will bloom with flowers. It will be very glad and shout for joy.
- Isaiah 35:1-2

This group is challenging me about my attitudes that I have towards myself and how I relate to others. I love how our community is being strengthened through this programme. Bringing our hearts closer and seeing healing happening. It is such a positive atmosphere, and it is beautiful as we grow in vulnerability and sharing.

I am so appreciative for this programme. I have loved Rebecca's positivity, encouragement, wisdom and strength that she has poured out onto us. I am grateful for her hugs, prayers, smile and gifts. I enjoy how close the ladies have got in a healthy setting away from drugs and alcohol and adore how much more I feel that I know God.
