Ko Hea rāua ko Ruru: He Takitaro Mārire

in Te reo Maori-This is the story of Hare, who struggles with an un-named mental malady self-described as ‘noise’. Noise could be runaway thoughts, voices in Hare’s head, or loud feelings and general anxiety. Hare goes on a journey to try and find a solution. Just when Hare thinks there’s no hope a friend, Ruru, flies calmly down and gives a suggestion. Hare ultimately feels better after doing three things: . Talking to someone. Focusing on breathing. Connecting to Nature This gentle story is for anybody who suffers from noise, anxiety, or loud feelings.
