🟠16 Days of Activism 🟠
25th Nov - 10th Dec

16 Days is a global campaign established by the United Nations to raise awareness and encourage communities to take action to end violence against women. The annual campaign begins on 25 November, the International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women, and ends on 10 December, which is International Human Rights Day.

Everyone deserves to be safe, equal and respected.
But right now, in Australia, that isn’t the reality.
More than 1 in 3 women have experienced violence.
Not all disrespect leads to violence against women – but all violence against women begins with disrespect.

All of us have the power to change that by respecting women wherever we live, learn, work and play.

Join the 16 Days of Activism and help build communities where women are safe and equal. It all starts with respect.

Our Mindfulness Walking Group has been busy capturing some wonderful photos during their walks this month - including a few all the way from Queensland!

What is Mindfulness Walking?
The practice of mindful walking is the opportunity to give ourselves a bit of a break from the constant mental chatter. We actively try to arrive in the present moment with each step we take.
Connecting with our breath, the sensations in our body, and the nature around us. Amazingly, this practice has been found to be a simple, yet profound way of lessening stress and worry and aiding in our mental health and wellbeing.
