Christine likes to do good things with good people so she co-founded The Good Registry — a ‘gift’ website where kind and clever people can reduce waste and support good causes with charity donations instead of candles and cufflinks. She also freelances on communications projects that have positive impacts for people and the planet. She started her career as a journalist and has also dabbled in yoga teaching.

He is happiest when he’s working with clever people on strategies that intersect technical innovation with culture. Duncan is a scrappy technologist and he loves being given the opportunity to be useful.

Creative Welly Episode #35 | Freda Wells & Dan Neely

Courageous conversations with bold humans (from the most creative little capital in the world).

Freda Wells, Curator / Communications Advisor / Yoga teacher / mum

My curiousity about people, behaviour and the invisible forces between things, and my tendency to daydream, doodle, and sympathise with the underdog, have carved a winding life path around many countries, conversations and adventures.

In Europe, seeing our ecological trajectory, I added environmental science to my mishmash of uni papers, including psychology, neuropsyc, french, philosophy, graphic design, and music.

My work ‘portfolio’ includes comms & engagement advisor for the Wellington Regional Leadership Committee, teaching yoga, and curating The Kiwi Diary – a diary designed to share art and ideas that are good for people and planet.

I see many global woes as social in nature, that we need to “bring heart back”. We need to better understand how our inner world constructs our outer world, and the importance of psychological safety, I’m excited about co-curating experiences to cultivate these!
