On 26th March 2020 with the rest of New Zealand we began a 4-week ‘lock-down,’ or rāhui, to manage the spread of the the virus Covid-19. Our front gate is closed and has been opened twice to go out for groceries.These past two weeks have been difficult, fascinating, curious, sad. We’re lucky to have a few little spaces to escape to around the 2 hectares of One Cow Block, various sheds and rooms, trees to sit under and a good circuit to walk around the orchard. Different reflective spaces to manage our moods and thoughts and attempts to make meaning of what’s happening. I collected a few ideas from a social work perspective into this piece of writing published on the Re-Imagining Social Work Collective blog site.
