the interesting stuff happens between us
A Little time, colour and rich connection.
welcome
Sometimes the best conversations happen when we’re not TRYING to have them.
Between us invites you to step out of your day to day and spend a few hours reconnecting enjoying a creative collaborative experience. We have complex lives - always busy and with increasingly hard to avoid screen-time.
I’ve created between us to as an intervention, one that can be simply a fun social and creative few hours with friends, or something shaped and curated for a team environment.
We use simple guided activities that give our hands something to do and leave space for conversation to unfold naturally. This is not simply a pause from busy lives and an opportunity reconnect with your creative self - it’s a curated experience that facilitates connection, mindfulness, and the chance to really talk.
about me
Kia ora. I’m Dellwyn and have thirty plus years of corporate, consultancy and not-for-profit leadership under my belt and I’m moving to focus on the most critical (yet neglected) skills for us in all aspects of our lives : creativity, connection and curiosity.
As a CEO for more than a decade, I have increasingly observed a diminishing willingness to communicate fully and openly, and to listen with curiosity and a desire to understand. Where there is difference - age, stage, beliefs, culture gender - we are losing the skills to step in and engage fully, and instead reaching for soundbites that tell us nothing, withdrawing or cancelling.
Nature and colour are powerful stimulants for shifting our mindset and allowing freshness to evolve - new connections, clearer reflections, honest conversations, and new ideas.
getting started
Let’s start with a conversation to build a brief for your between us experience. It can be shaped around what matters for you:
be it simply a get-together, a year end celebration for your team or bookclub, a birthday, baby shower or family event, OR
for a workplace where you want to mark a milestone, change the vibe before a meeting or kick off a retreat. Or simply reward a team in a meaningful way and reconnect with what it really means to collaborate and be creative.
