Welcome to the 6th issue of Coromind, arriving just in time for the winter season in beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand. As the chilly winds blow and we gather closer together for warmth, we are reminded of the importance of community and unity. At Coromind, we believe that the strength of a community lies in its ability to come together and support one another.
In a world that can sometimes feel cold and isolating, we want to emphasise the power of connection. It is during these winter months that we have the opportunity to foster deeper bonds and forge new friendships. When we join forces and stand united, we can overcome any challenge that comes our way.
Coromind is proud to be a platform that celebrates collaboration and community involvement. We are honoured to collaborate with local artists, writers and creatives who bring their unique talents and perspectives to our magazine. By showcasing the diversity and creativity of our community, we strive to inspire others to join in and contribute their voices as well.
In the spirit of togetherness, we recognise the importance of intergenerational collaboration. Our young ones bring boundless energy and fresh ideas, while our elders offer wisdom and guidance earned through a lifetime of experiences. By bridging the generation gap, we create a tapestry of knowledge and innovation that uplifts us all.
As we navigate through this winter season and beyond, we encourage everyone to reach out to their neighbours, lend a helping hand, or simply share a warm smile. Even the smallest act of kindness can brighten someone’s day and create a ripple effect of positivity within the community.
Coromind remains committed to accessibility, ensuring that everyone can enjoy our magazine. Our website offers online and audio versions, accessible to all individuals. You can visit coromind.nz directly in your browser or scan the QR code on the cover to access our online content.
So, let’s come together, embrace the warmth of our community, and create a winter season filled with compassion, connection, and collaboration. Stay cosy, stay connected, and enjoy the heartfelt stories and vibrant creations within the pages of Coromind.
Peace, The Coromind Team
