The Kaleidoscope Story
We have chosen the symbol of the Kaleidoscope to represent the work we do with people. The kaleidoscope contains mirrors, pieces of coloured glass, and other shapes, whose reflections produce changing patterns when the kaleidoscope is rotated by the viewer.
For us, the kaleidoscope symbolises ever changing and endless possibilities contained in the human experience. Like the kaleidoscope, each one of us has unique patterns and characteristics. In different lights or environments these patterns change and are revealed. The colours and shapes generated within the instrument itself could be thought of as personalities, thoughts, memories, and ideas. As we turn the kaleidoscope or interact with each other, the images dance into new patterns, and we find different types of beauty and contrast.
The turns of the kaleidoscope could therefore represent crucial events, life changes, or minor disturbances: or it could represent changing perspectives, new meaning, diversity, or creativity.
