No drawing skills required, this is more mark making not art making. Practice the ‘art’ of drawing and writing for wellness. This 1.5 hour workshop takes you through guided cues (similar to meditation or journaling) to draw out where you are at, draw out how you are feeling, and draw out your own inner guidance. This workshop will include guided drawings that draw on nature to reveal where we are at and what we need.


We all have the resources within to guide us, this workshop creates the space to access this by using a modality called Interactive Drawing Therapy. Facilitated by Lara Phillips, this is not therapy rather drawing for wellness; a guided workshop to build one’s relationship with oneself, to strengthen self-reflection and self-care.
$39 Sunday 16 July 11-12:30pm

Join us for another exciting Cushion Concert at the historic Inverlochy House with Planet. Not to worry if a cushion is not your thing...we can provide chairs!

PLANET mixes traditional bagpipe airs, with post punk riffs, and a dollop of vaudevillian good humour.
It could be world music, it could be underground indie rock. It could be psychedelic folk music. But it's always approachable and certainly a lot of fun.
Only $10 Sunday 25 June 5-6pm

A petition is circulating to get curtains added as part of the Healthy Homes Standards in the hopes of helping renters avoid living in cold, damp conditions. Do you think curtains should be mandatory for New Zealand homes?

"A great day for getting out and about, so it was off to Silverstream armed with my hiking boots as I knew the track would be really muddy! I couldn't clap eyes on any kingfishers today but there was plenty of other birdlife, and most of them seemed to be performing ablutions including a fantail (unfortunately he was well hidden when he was bathing so the photo isn't very good!)."
