Curating creativity and care. A place for creating stories together through books and gatherings with nature.
We are having fun sharing Finding Grace, creative workshops of art and nature and now…
Let's create a new book together!
Join us in a series of workshops throughout the year, celebrating the creative experience and our connection to nature. We invite young creatives to participate in crafting the story and painting the backgrounds for our upcoming book, 'Seeking Will - Rapua a Will.'
Exciting times ahead!
