Our Topics
Our topics aim to explore some of the most fundamental parts of being human.
When we post content on CURATE, we assign it to a topic. In each of these topics you will find a collection of ideas, reflections, wonderings, thoughts, projects, things people have been creating and just some good stuff that we love.
This evolving collection simply aims to be a series of invitations. Inviting you to something deeper, something new, something challenging, something joyful, or just simply – something.
You can click on the + next to each of our topic titles below to read more about the significance of that topic and what you might expect to find in the collection.
cultivate
The art of cultivating is dynamic. It can be messy. It takes time.
This topic is about things that help us grow + change, things that add something to our lives. It is about our being in the world and about our becoming [who we really are].
This is an invitation to personal growth, to investment in the things that bring you life and a chance to consider how intentional you are being in that space.
unify
There’s a lot in the world that keeps us distant from each other.
This topic is about making connections [with each other & between ideas] and bridging the gaps that create distance. It’s about seeking unity. It’s about acknowledging our uniqueness, and at the same time, our basic human need to be connected to others.
We hope to provide content which invites you to grow towards wholeness + connections.
rest
We know we need to, but we often struggle to slow down enough to do it.
This topic is about encouraging the celebration of rest. It’s about exploring the art of slowing down, of stopping, of giving ‘doing’ a break so we can just ‘be’. It’s also about how sometimes things rest with us, we have responsibilities or opportunities to take care of.
We hope to invite you into a place of rest and offer some inspiration for how you can celebrate rest in your own life.
ask
There are lots of different ways we make use of asking.
we ask someone something or to do something, for permission/an opinion or forgiveness, for something in particular, or we ask someone to an event/place. But sometimes we need to ‘ask’ just for the sake of our own growing + changing + being
This topic is about asking questions, exploring the things we’ve been pondering, the things going on around us, the ways we’ve been challenged, the possibilities for the future.
This is an invitation into a sometimes intimidating space, but not being afraid to explore the “what if’s” and the “wondering’s why”.
thank
An expression of gratitude.
There is much evidence to show the power of being grateful and the way it can transform our lives. This topic hopes to share some of the things we are thankful for & ways you can foster this important practice.
This topic is an invitation to making the action of thanking even more present in your life. It hopes to shine a light on joy in the process.
experience
Awe, wonder + change.
Experience is both the knowledge + wisdom we gain over time and the things in life that make us who we are – the things we’ll never forget. This topic showcases experiences – encouraging you to live yours too.
This topic is an invitation to grow out of your experiences, to reflect on the experiences that are important to you and it is an encouragement to experience again + again.
