He Māhuri Tōtara is A Rocha’s core Christian environmental leadership development programme that we offer to Eco Churches. The programme explores the unique environmental challenges and opportunities of our world and the biblical imperative to care for creation in the unique context of Aotearoa. The courses are a mixture of workshops, hands-on activities, outdoor adventures and building relationships with likeminded people.

This course is for young adults who are interested in creation care and anyone involved in leading youth ministry who want to be equipped to integrate care of creation into their communities.
