Behind the Calendar
Kate Brandram-Adams: nature lover, creative, mental health professional and mindfulness teacher, based in North Canterbury. These calendars combine my passions with a deep listening to the wisdom of nature—and to ourselves when we pause. Designed from my rural home, each page serves as a gentle visual invitation to slow down and reconnect with the present moment throughout your year. I hope you love them and they bring you joy, peace, and well-being.
