Sam was disengaged and struggling to find meaning in his daily routine of attending school, doing chores, and playing video games. Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.

After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.

He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.

No drawing skills required, this is more mark making not art making. Practice the ‘art’ of drawing and writing for wellness. This 1.5 hour workshop takes you through guided cues (similar to meditation or journaling) to draw out where you are at, draw out how you are feeling, and draw out your own inner guidance. This workshop will include guided drawings that draw on nature to reveal where we are at and what we need.


We all have the resources within to guide us, this workshop creates the space to access this by using a modality called Interactive Drawing Therapy. Facilitated by Lara Phillips, this is not therapy rather drawing for wellness; a guided workshop to build one’s relationship with oneself, to strengthen self-reflection and self-care.
