Winter Workshops
to Warm the Soul
Nurture your creativity, movement, and self-expression this August with four cosy Saturday morning workshops at Parnell Community Centre. From mindful mending and soulful songwriting to gentle, flowing dance—each session offers a chance to slow down, learn something new, and warm the heart through connection and creativity. All welcome.

Decorative Repair #2
Whether or not you joined our first session, you're warmly invited to continue (or begin!) your journey into mindful, creative mending.
In this second Decorative Repair workshop, we’ll dive deeper into the art of hand mending and storytelling through fabric. Bring a piece you’d love to transform—maybe something you started earlier in the month, or a new item ready for repair and reinvention.

Dance in Flow: Awaken Your Movement
Join us for a gentle movement workshop that blends folk, contemporary, and flow dance to bring energy, and connection to your body and spirit. Guided by Abigail , you’ll explore a sequence of standing movement meditations inspired by traditional and modern dance styles, with moments of reflection drawn from ancient texts like the Psalms.

Songs and Stories
In this two-hour seminar, seasoned musicians Brenda and Mark will share their deep knowledge of songwriting and performance, built over decades of making music together. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your craft, this session offers practical tools, creative insight, and plenty of inspiration.

Decorative Repair #1
Join us for a cosy and creative morning as we delve into the art of decorative repair. Perfect for beginners, this hands-on session will introduce you to classic clothing mending techniques. You'll learn the creative thinking behind mending solutions, useful repair stitches, and discover how to create new life for worn or damaged garments.
