As we move into the busy season, it can mean many different things to each of us.

One theme I (Zoe) continue to hear from the people I meet and speak with is simply — busy. I’m often guilty of it myself and have been working intentionally to be a little less so.

When we’re constantly in “busy mode,” our bodies produce more cortisol — the stress hormone — which takes a toll over time. As we head into this time of year that can easily become stressful, we’ll be sharing a few simple ideas to help you pause, unwind, and give your body and mind a moment of respite.

We’d love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to share these posts with others who might also benefit. Let’s take a moment to breathe and enjoy some of life’s simple pleasures.

If there’s a particular topic, you’d find helpful, drop us a line — one of our team may have just the thing.

Today’s link takes you to a simple practise of a mindful cup of tea.

Life Therapies Victoria is the organisation I run with the amazing Zoe Broomhead, based out of counselling rooms in Warrandyte.

In the last few weeks we've added two staff members and a student counsellor to the team, meaning that (for the moment at least) there is little to no wait time to see somebody.

Perhaps most exciting is we now have a psychologist on team, meaning those with a mental health plan can now use it at LTV.

Meet the new team at https://www.lifetherapiesvictoria.com.au/team-members/

Support is available for individuals of all ages, couples and families. Please get in touch via the website or private message if you have questions about the services we offer or would like to make a booking.

Life Therapies Victoria is heading toward its first years end in Warrandyte.

Today the Autumn sun is shining.

Our garden is being planted with beautiful paper daisies, gifted from our neighbours.

Client feedback about our rooms has been fabulous.

We love being here amongst the birds, the trees, with nature surrounding us.

We have now two chocolate labs who like to welcome you, Arlo who is learning from his big brother Toby.

We are grateful and we love our surroundings and new and growing community and our team of diverse practitioners.

Zoe and Matt

For those planning to travel out to Warrandyte this Saturday.…

SATURDAY CANCELLED. FRIDAY AND SUNDAY TO PROCEED.

It is with deep sadness that the Warrandyte Festival Committee have decided to cancel Saturday’s festivities.

**Why have we cancelled?

As of 6.00pm on Thursday 16 March, the fire ratings for Saturday 18 March are too risky to proceed.

In consultation with emergency services and Manningham Council, and with the information we have available to us right now, we feel this is the safest option.

We also feel it is kinder to our stall holders, performers, schools and other participants to ‘make the call’ sooner rather than later.

**What is actually cancelled?

--Friday 17 March will go ahead as planned.
The free Festival Lounge will be open from 5.00pm - 7.45pm with food stalls and live music.

--Saturday 18 March is cancelled.

--Sunday 19 March will go ahead as planned.
We are working hard to enhance and extend our program for Sunday - stay tuned!

**Information for paid stall holders and paid performers

Food and market stall holders will be contacted about the cancellation of stalls on Saturday (only) by our coordinators as soon as possible.

Paid performers will be contacted on an individual basis.

**Thank you for understanding

We all feel very passionately about our wonderful Festival.

Please be patient and understanding of our volunteer committee and coordinators as we work through the logistics and impact of this decision.
