Global Creative Therapy & Connection

Michelle from Ponsonby

If you've been following lately you may have noticed that some inspiring Colour Our Story events have been taking place across parts of Africa thanks to our amazing global ambassadors in Uganda, Cameroon and Sierra Leone.

Our children's global colouring in books are designed to empower, inspire and create a deeper sense of connection, empathy, curiosity and global citizenship through the therapeutic joy of creativity.

The kids got to experience reading stories and colouring in drawings created by other kids all across the globe. In response they dived in their own hearts and minds, sharpened their pencils and got to work creating their own powerful drawings and stories that they wished to share with everyone.

So now's the time where we get to start preparing that beautiful content for our special colouring in books (made by kids, for kids, all across the world) and we've always believed that should be a special, fun event in itself too. So easy, so rewarding and no skills or experience needed! Everything will be provided.

Event: fb.me...

It's been a while since I've organised one of these so it will be quite a celebratory event with a few extra surprises and I'll be brewing up a delicious batch of my favourite mulled wine with nibbles, relaxing music, videos and others logging in from across the globe to hang out with us for an evening of purposeful and therapeutic fun... connecting creatively with like minded souls.

AT COLOUR OUR STORY OUR AIM IS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN IN NEED OF THE THERAPY AND JOY OF CREATIVITY THROUGH GLOBAL EXCHANGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPLIES.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
