Kia ora koutou to the readers and supporters of Coromind, to those featured on its pages, and to everyone who loves the Hauraki-Coromandel.

Kia ora koutou to the readers and supporters of Coromind, to those featured on its pages, and to everyone who loves the Hauraki-Coromandel.

This issue of Coromind marks our third anniversary. Still young, still energetic and proudly community-driven, Coromind has grown into a platform that brings joy, connection and positive stories to our region and beyond.

After 35 editions of Coromind, I wonder if there is a house somewhere in Te Tara-o-te-ika-a-Māui that doesn’t have a copy sitting on a coffee table?

The first time I saw a Coromind magazine was when my English teacher was waving it above the class, explaining we could submit a piece of our writing to potentially have it published.

As artists ourselves, as well as working professionally within the arts, we know first-hand the complexities, joys and exhaustion of it all. One of the best things that keeps us going and keeps us inspired is getting that fresh issue of Coromind.
