Each session builds towards Tausala Night, a special and exciting celebration of identity, strength, and pride. "E iloa le tama'ita'i Samoa i lana tū, tausala ma lana savali." A tama'ita'i Samoa is known by how she carries herself—with purpose, pride, and grace. TAUSALA NIGHT - Saturday 13th September (Venue & Time TBC) This year, Pule is excited to offer an experience that was an integral part of her upbringing as a tama'ita'i Samoa in both New Zealand and Samoa, where she'd be adorned in traditional laei and represent her grandparents and parents. Tausala night is more than just a performance; it’s about embracing and celebrating the beauty of our culture, where we step into our tradition, wearing our lā'ei with pride and strength, and move through the space with purpose. For many Samoans born in the diaspora, opportunities like this can often feel out of reach due to many reasons . Pule's goal is to give every tama'ita'i the chance to experience this tradition in their own unique way, making it an unforgettable and meaningful part of their journey. This space is for all tama'ita'i to thrive—not just a select few. You’ll learn Siva sets, grow in confidence, and honour the sacred Vā together.
