*****IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT****
We are very excited to host TWO special events for our whanau and community next month!
These workshops are for whanau and those living or working in close association with neurodivergent people, Neurodivergent people who are over 15yrs, Professionals, Organisations, Communities, and those who work in Public Spaces.
Mind Over Manner uses the Power of Theatre to provide educational solutions and strategies for responding appropriately to those who sense and learn differently.
Using a facilitator and an experienced team of actors, we show how a person's perception and relationship to the world, can often be seen as confusion or rude, negative or shutdown behavior.
We will bring several charged scenarios to life and then work with you, our participants, to unpack, bring our collective learnings, and re-evaluate our responses to these often difficult and misunderstood moments that so easily occur in our everyday lives.
The strategies and solutions that emerge through these workshops will give our community an informed and respectful understanding of our neurodivergent people and their whanau.
These workshops are relevant to all people who are alongside those who experience anxiety (whether diagnosed or not). We encourage all community members to engage in these much-needed, inspiring, and illuminating workshops.
We would like to acknowledge our key sponsors for this event, Toi Foundation, Methanex NZ, Kindergarten Association Taranaki, NZ Lottery Grants Board, C7 Design Ltd,, and The Devon Hotel.
