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!

Sharing Grace and this year “Seeking Will”

BOOSTED CROWDFUNDING

Bring Seeking Will Rapua a Will to life! Inspired by the January 2023 storms in the Waitākere Ranges, this bilingual picture book follows a boy and his dog navigating a storm, exploring resilience, connection, and the will to thrive. Through Create a Book Togetherworkshops, children and families helped shape the story.

Now, we’re crowdfunding to fund local illustration, design, and printing—keeping this project community-driven.
