Clearing the air

A free, 3-week workshop for community members in Castlemaine and surrounds, to come together around recent experiences of bushfire. Over three weekly meetings we will build an account of our shared environment and local identity, bear witness to our bushfire stories in a compassionate and gentle way, and draw out the knowledge we can hold from these. As we go we will also practice some simple skills in self-compassion and coping.

The sessions are led by Dr Bonny Cassidy, using narrative therapy techniques to make sense of bushfire impacts in healing and empowering ways.

Workshop activities and space will be suitable for 16+ years.
