Young at Heart Festival

The Young at Heart Festival, Tauranga, New Zealand
30 September – 6 October 2024, is a week to celebrate our older community – parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbours – who do so much for the city. The festival wraps around the official International Day of Older Persons on 1 October. Thanks to Support of Tauranga City Council, The Incubutor for putting on this event.

I created the large logo in the Sand, and attendees learnt how to do large-scale drawings in the sand, and tried the 10-metre-wide series of sudoku puzzles. All ages event - grandchildren, children or the whole family. 

I shared my personal journey of how I started doing sand art and how incorporating mindfulness into this practice has brought immense freedom to my life. This was followed by a short grounding exercise and guided meditation before getting into the sand art lesson.
