Inside an intentional community: The people who call Kāwai Purapura home

The site of the notorious Centrepoint community is now home to 100 people. Some are travellers, many are healers, but others just needed a place to stay.
Many members of the community attended Emma Taylor and emka*'s wedding in April, and another resident was the celebrant.

Kāwai Purapura is home to artists, professionals and alternative medicine practitioners. Some work off-site, while others offer clinics and classes - many which are free - for the wider Auckland community from the dozens of buildings dotted throughout the 19 acre site.
Most share bathroom facilities, kitchens and living spaces. They cook for each other, watch movies together, hold impromptu open mic nights and all-night 90s dance parties.
