Beyond the Wānaka Highlight Reel 🏔️
We can live in an extraordinary place and still sometimes wonder where we fit.
As part of Community Link's Mental Health Awareness Month and in collaboration with Applied Movement, this this interactive workshop explores belonging in the place we call home and the gap that can sometimes exist between the Wānaka we see and the lives people are actually living.
Wānaka can look like the ultimate picture of wellbeing: adventure, fitness, success, friendship and an enviable lifestyle. But behind the highlight reel, life is inevitably more complicated.
So what happens when we compare how our own life feels on the inside with how everybody else’s looks from the outside?
Together, we’ll explore the expectations and comparisons that can shape our experience of living here, why being surrounded by people doesn’t always mean feeling connected, and whose experiences might be less visible within our community.
Most importantly, we’ll consider what real belonging looks like and the small, everyday things we can all do to create more meaningful connection for ourselves and the people around us.
💛 See beyond the surface. Create more meaningful connection.
