This year, we’re celebrating 10 years of community and the incredible people who make Hester Canterbury so special.

Recently, we held a Residents’ Retrospective Exhibition, which was a beautiful showcase of creativity and passion. From intricate artwork to heartfelt pieces, every creation told its own story. A big thank you to all Hester Canterbury residents for their contributions, enthusiasm and willingness to share a piece of themselves with the community.

Your talent and spirit continue to inspire us all and remind us what makes Hester Canterbury such a vibrant, connected and truly special place to call home.

Here’s to the next 10 years of creativity, connection and community spirit where every story matters and every moment is celebrated.

Another great Conversation on the Couch!

We were recently joined by Charlotte from Sustainable Gardening Australia and Penny from City of Boroondara for a relaxed yet inspiring chat about creating natural sanctuaries at home.

From the best plants to attract birds and bees 🐝 to clever tips for balcony gardening, the session was full of ideas for bringing more biodiversity into our everyday spaces.

Special mention to Erin and Henry for their brilliant questions during Q&A!

Big thanks to our speakers—and to everyone who joined us on the couch.

This week at Hester Canterbury, we welcomed wellness coach and meditation teacher Hilary Davis for a Conversation on the Couch session.

Her talk, “Curveballs to Calm”, reminded us how mindfulness can support our wellbeing — no matter where we are in life. Hilary shared powerful tools for staying present and even led us through a relaxing group meditation.

Thank you, Hilary, for your warmth, openness and calming energy 💛

Our incredible residents have completed a remarkable 269 puzzles (and counting!). Each one carefully documented and then donated to charity to bring joy to others.

Right now, puzzle number 270 is underway! We love seeing the focus, teamwork, and satisfaction that comes with every completed masterpiece.
