COLLECTIVE CONNECTION

Enjoy an indulgent afternoon of self-care whilst supporting the community.

You are invited to come and experience a nourishing afternoon of Yin, Pranayama, Nidra and connection with 100% of your $25 donation going to The Homeless Project.

The Homeless Project is a not for profit organisation that provides opportunities for all people to access safe and affordable housing.

With homelessness on the rise, The Homeless Project aims to:

- design and construct dignified, purpose-built, wheelchair compliant homes for people who are homeless or at risk; - support and foster innovative research-backed initiatives that address youth homelessness in Victoria; - offer a free integrative psychological and counselling outreach service; - connect local homeless people with free meal services; and - offer free (new) clothing to people in the community who are homeless or at risk.

In addition, The Homeless Project recently contributed towards the publication of a book called "Building Better Schools with Evidence Based Policy".

The afternoon will begin as I guide you through a gentle Pranayama practice followed by a short Yin sequence ending with a nourishing Nidra. No previous experience needed and no activewear required. In fact, you are invited to wear inactive loose and comfortable clothing and have as many blankets, cushions, bolsters, pillows etc as you like to make yourself as comfortable as possible.

There will be a chance for you all to connect and share after the event as I will keep the zoom room open for around 20-30 minutes.

I'm so incredibly honoured to have two co-hosts:

Susan Roper, yogini and all time amazing human of Studio Paradise www.studioparadise.com.au; and

Bree Iliopulos. Bree wears many valuable hats, she is a trauma informed yoga teacher trainer, an accredited Frontline Yoga teacher, qualified Yoga for Seniors Adaptability (disability) and a trauma sensitive and trauma informed teacher. She is also studying psychology and works as an AOD (alcohol and other drugs) and mental health clinician. In addition, Bree wears a chef hat and cooks meals for people who find themselves homeless.

I want to extend a huge thank you to Susan and Bree for their input and support not only to me but to the community.

We look forward to sharing an indulgent and meaningful afternoon with you.
