First Light, New Possibilities
Oi Collective thrives in the in-between—the space where the world shifts, where the first threads of dawn weave their way through the dark. We are the spark in uncertain moments, the laughter in the heavy ones, and the light that leads toward change.
shaping change through CREATIVE PROCESS
Our mahi moves with the rhythms of creativity, guided by the journey from Te Kore to Te Ao Mārama—from formless potential to the bright light of understanding and action. We embrace the in-between spaces, knowing that within them, new pathways emerge.
Our approach to our mahi is guided by curiosity, lightness, and relationship. We see humour as a tool to release old patterns, and tākaro as a way to unlock fresh perspectives. Joy acts as a compass, reminding us that even in difficult times, hope and possibility remain. By bringing aroha, care, and the richness of indigenous knowledge into our spaces, we make room for honest growth and meaningful change. And it’s through this relational and creative energy that true transformation becomes possible.
Just as the world follows its natural cycle of light and darkness with each passing day, we draw upon the wisdom of this journey—from the emergence of potential in Te Kore to the realisation of new possibilities in Te Ao Marama.
