Did you ever think of learning about determination from a Donkey? Patience from a Turtle? Reverence from a Bear? The animals in this colouring book bring out our hidden qualities; the inner virtues that are an enormous source of wisdom within each of us. This unique colouring book focuses on calming the mind as you colour and has additional reflection questions to assist you when dealing with dilemmas and making moral choices in your personal life, relationships, at school or at work. Colouring is joyful, creative and relaxing. On your own, or together, in a colouring group where you can share your experiences. This was the first colouring book for adults in the Netherlands and was chosen in the top 25 BEST SPIRITUAL BOOKS for its exclusiveness! I love this work! Very nourishing, self-revelatory exercises. LIZ, New Zealand A very powerful way to develop mindfulness.

Autorenporträt
Mary, a chronically ill friend of art therapist Marja vant Wel who has to go to hospital on a regular basis, mentioned to Marja that doing crossword puzzles and reading magazines was becoming rather boring. Marja came up with the perfect solution: a colouring book. Due to this idea and Marjas magnificent and inspiring drawings, colouring is now all the craze in Holland. More and more people and countries are getting infected with it. Why? Colouring is a creative and meaningful activity that gives inspiration. We all did it at some stage of our lives. Why ever stop? You don't have to be a top artist to get great results. It is never the same and always personal. With her friend in mind, Marja set to work. She drew a set of animal outline images that would allow her friend to add her own colours. Each animal image also came with a set of reflection questions. This makes this colouring activity unique, when compared to other colouring books. Besides being relaxing and creative, it is also inspiring and meaningful. Close to nature, and close to our nature, according to Marja. Marjas friend Mary enjoyed the activity immensely. Reflecting on the questions and balancing the virtues was really supportive for her. She encouraged Marja to develop more images and to share the activity with others. That is how this book was developed. Today, Marjas magnificent books are not only enjoyed by individuals, but also by people that regularly meet in groups to colour. The books are used in schools, hospitals and retirement homes: everywhere where people like to spend time on personal and spiritual development.
