Touch Compass's reach is global!
Our June newsletter is full of news, both in Aotearoa and farther afield: Our Matariki resource has touched international organisations that celebrate the same star cluster under a different name. Suzanne Cowan spent two weeks in Seoul, leading a workshop as part of KIADA Festival, and Rodney Bell is off to the UK with Chloe Loftus, to perform "The Air Between Us". Our classes are focused on Matariki in their classes, and tutors led a workshop at Uxbridge Arts Centre!
