GMMT
Good Men Make Tracks - Weekend residential programme for men with an interest in rites of passage, transition & life's stages.

Wilderness Solo

A wilderness solo is a contemporary translation of the ancient ritual of the vision quest, which was held in all corners of the world. Alone in the wilderness...with only yourself, and nature as your companion. This program runs once a year for seven days at Canaan Downs up on top of Takaka Hill in Golden Bay.

The Ebb'n'Flow and GMMT programmes can also be a gateway to getting involved in the Tides and Tracks work.

Crossroads, Marking Life's Stages and Wilderness Solo are all gender inclusive programmes.

Our elders are represented in all of our residential programmes.

All programmes, except for the Wilderness Solo are held at the Tui Events Park  in Wainui, Golden Bay.

Crossroads

A 4-day gender inclusive program open to ages 18 - 35. An opportunity to connect the wider community with rites of passage, inviting Tracks and Tides whānau to bring a friend or partner who hasn’t journeyed through our rites of passage program before.

Marking Life's Stages

A gender inclusive and inter-generational gathering that welcomes adults to consciously mark the life stage or transition that is emerging. The weekend offers an opportunity for couples, siblings, or parents and their adult children to experience a facilitated rite of passage, journeying together.
