Mandala Workshop with Raquel Genioli

Friday 17th November 4pm - 7pm

We are delighted to announce our upcoming creative Mandala Drawing Workshop, where we will explore the limitless possibilities of mandala art and unleash our inner artists.

Mandala drawing is a powerful tool for self-discovery, mindfulness, and personal growth.
In this workshop, we will dive deep into the world of mandalas and embark on a transformative and therapeutic journey of creativity and self-expression.

All materials will be provided and the workshop will take place upstairs at the Centre.

$50 for members $60 for non-members

National Recycling Week

National Recycling Week, established by Planet Ark in 1996, is held every year during the second week of November (13th to the 19th November 2023).
Reducing our waste not only keeps valuable materials out of landfill it also benefits the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Thinking about our waste provides some valuable insight into how the recycling and resource management industry works in conjunction to your efforts.
