Experience a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect at the Brunswick Community Wellness Gathering. This free event is designed to support mental wellbeing through a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where everyone is accepted just as they are.
Throughout the afternoon, local facilitators and community practitioners will guide accessible sessions such as yin yoga, breathwork, guided meditation, and a closing sound journey. The atrium will also offer a relaxed drop-in space featuring community stalls, shared art experiences, and quiet areas for rest and reflection.
The day opens with a Welcome to Country by Wurundjeri Elder Uncle Colin Hunter, honoring connection to Country, culture, and community. Participants can choose to join up to two sessions or simply spend time in the space in a way that feels right, whether that’s engaging in activities, connecting with others, or sitting quietly.
This event is crafted from lived experience, inspired by the quieter moments of navigating anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional challenges. No prior experience is needed, and you don’t have to be okay to attend — you are welcome just as you are.
Sessions include:
- Yin yoga
- Breathwork
- Guided meditation
- Closing sound journey
The atrium remains open for drop-in activities including community stalls and a shared art experience, providing a calm environment for rest and reflection.
