Coromandel’s Collaborative Magazine

Coromind Editorial – Issue 20, 2024

Play that note again, cook it for a bit longer, draw smoother lines, clean it harder, wait until it is dry, shake it before using it, ask for help, price it right, don’t ask for help, question more, wedge the clay, stay quiet, improvise, laugh about it …

Art and life are not just interconnected; they are transformative. We always have the chance to try again, to create something better next time, until we cannot try anymore. This transformative power makes life and art so profound and reflective.

Coromind shares stories from people who are trying their best. They understand that sometimes we are sad but operate better when we’re happy. They know that life can knock you down, but only if you let it, and that cloudy days are tough, but they make you appreciate the sun much more. We are all in this together, trying our best.

Why is Coromind uplifting, colourful, and positive? Because life can be like this if we want it to be. Try it. If it doesn’t work, try again.

There’s a crazy world out there, and we salute those who want a better life for others instead of just for themselves. We are in the Coromandel, where the air is still breathable, and you can walk in the street at any time. Try the exercise of appreciation.

Coromind exists because of incredible supporters: businesses that appreciate our educational content and values, collaborators who feel safe and appreciated when choosing to share their thoughts and art with us, and loyal members who know that the small amount they contribute monthly keeps this alive, showing massive appreciation to the team that puts everything together.

From day one, Coromind has offered audio and online versions because accessibility matters. Scan the QR code on the cover or go to: www.coromind.nz

On our website, you can also join our membership programme for free, donate any amount, or receive the magazine at your doorstep, plus many other cool features, for $15 per month.

We appreciate you picking up this magazine. Dig in.

Peace,

The Coromind Team
