Beyond Colouring

A growing body of research and literature is evidencing that the arts and humanities have important roles to play in health and well-being, and that healthcare systems require anti-bias training for healthcare professionals. This beautiful colouring book is one small project addressing these contemporary realities.

We hope that the meditative and calming process of working with beautiful images, and then responding to open-ended prompts, will move both your heart and your mind.
