Space from worrying about an incredibly stressful season
Putting responsibility on hold for a while
Having time for you
The joyful sound of gathering
The importance of connecting with others
Relating to others experiences
Learning some tools
and being nurtured for a while.
Thankyou to Julie, Deb and the Pinnaroo Project team for your hours and hours of volunteering to ensure the community is connected, has a place to land, brings people together and the powerful experiences through creativity
The impact that their initiatives are having on mental health are incredible and you can see the research on their arts and health program that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of the Pinnaroo Community here.
Plus it was great to run a workshop for small and family business while I was in the neighbourhood.
