Older women carry so much of the caring load, for children, partners, family, friends and clients, and most of it goes unseen. This event is our chance to give some of that care back. Come along for a day just for you, with mindfulness, entertainment, good nourishing food and gentle movement to help you relax and recharge.

It's open to women over 55 who care for someone with a disability, chronic illness or mental illness, whether you're paid or unpaid. You look after everyone else. Let us look after you for a change.

The event will include:

Creative visual mindfulness session exploring images of emotional well-being through guided prompts, with each carer leaving holding a personal card of affirming words.

Happy Lunch, which includes nourishing and delicious foods for participants to enjoy and share. This will be a time for connection and self-care.

Gong bath session that welcomes participants to relax and meditate through sound healing and mindful movement, designed to calm and provide peace for participants.

The day will also connect carers to ongoing support. Participants can be referred to our free Employment Pathways service and offered information and referrals to other relevant services. Carers will leave knowing where to turn, and that OWN supports them well beyond Carers Week.
