Who We Are

Nicole Buckland (She/Her)

I am an Occupational Therapist and Collage Artist with a passion for creative exploration.

I am a collage and mixed media artist devoted to creative exploration and the opportunities it provides for connecting with self and community.

I make art as a form of daily self-communion. It is a facilitated conversation between my adult, child and adolescent selves. Often it is an argument that ends badly. Sometimes it is divine.

As an occupational therapist & educator I have spent the last ten years working closely with people to build life practices that support recovery and enhance quality of life. Exploring creative practice and self-expression has been a very important element in this work. 

 I am an Autistic ADHDer (AuDHDer), creative, beginner-gardener, master-napper, Mum and Homeschooler to 2.

Clare Foale (She/Her)

I was identified as AuDHD a couple of years ago, around the same time some of my kids were identified as Autistic, ADHD, PDA, with a couple of doses of School Can’t thrown in. It has been a Big Time of relief, grief, dropping expectations and rewilding our life. Discovering my Neurosparkliness made such sense of life. I have always created brought people together; my purpose now is to create spaces and community for us to gather with you, our Neurokin.

I help folks traverse the wild landscapes of Life and emerge with fresh perspectives, remedial practices and a sense that they are not alone. I weave my gifts as an AuDHDer, space holder, Neurodivergent Peer Supporter, listener and storyteller together with my professional experience as an administrator, event organiser, EFT practitioner and teacher, Circle Holder and strategist - sharing both practical skills, thought-provoking questions and facilitating rich, connective conversations. Ever the observer and capable of finding magic where others do not notice it - my spaces are enriched with nature, humour, humanity and a fierce commitment to a kinder, more just world.
