Kahini Oceania was set up by Kirsten Le Harivel in 2014. Since our inception, we have hosted a wide range of writers from across Aotearoa who have generously shared their skills, knowledge and experience with us and our participants. In 2020, we changed our identity to Writers Practice to better reflect what we do and who we serve. We’re really excited to bring Pip Adam onto the programming team to allow us to expand our offerings.
