FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
3 August 2016

A new wellbeing start-up, CoLiberate launched in Wellington on Sunday.

A one-of-a-kind wellbeing start-up has launched this week in Wellington. In collaboration with Urban Dream Brokerage, CoLiberate has an interim home at 111 Customhouse Quay for the month of August to introduce this brand new personal wellbeing-focused service.

CoLiberate provides a range of facilitated sessions that actively, collaboratively and creatively help you to prioritise your wellbeing. All sessions are consciously designed with the Mental Health Foundation’s ‘5 ways to wellbeing’ in mind, and lead by experienced facilitators. From yoga, active meditation and hands-messy escapism to impulsive dance, you can come along to their Interim home and take a moment for yourself. Unleash your creative side, relax the mind and move the body.

“It’s like a creative gym - a place you can go on your own terms and in your own time but instead of pumping weights you pump wellbeing. Hopefully people will be able to take a real mental health day, or mental health hour, rather than feeling isolated..” - says co-founder, Bop Murdoch.

CoLiberate began when three theatre-makers, who were dissatisfied with the level of people-care in their community, entered Inspiring Stories’ Summer accelerator programme ‘ Live The Dream’ 2015/16 and since then, the alumni team have been working hard and fast to launch CoLiberate’s first wellbeing programme this August. Co-founders; Bop Murdoch, Sarah Tuck and Jody Burrell are Victoria University Theatre graduates and also co-founders of award-winning theatre company, Pat-A-Cake Productions.

“Since Live The Dream - we find ourselves surrounded by people in need of something like CoLiberate in their community and we’re so excited to finally make it available to those people. We’ve listened and now we’ve made it accessible for everyone” - Jody Burrell, Co-founder.

CoLiberate is open from 07 AUG - 3 SEPT and you can check out their full timetable of initial sessions on their website www.coliberate.co.nz

“CoLiberate’s interim hub is an urban sanctuary - a relaxing and calm space in the middle of a chaotic city. Open for anyone and everyone, I can’t wait to hang out there in my lunch hour!”
Sabrina Martin, attended the launch.
