Sustainability Week: System Garden Music Therapy

Join us for a healing group music wellbeing session designed to promote emotional wellbeing connection and relaxation through interactive music-based activities, using voice, rhythm, instruments and body percussion.

The session will be led by Seraphina Chen, a multilingual registered Music therapist who graduated from a Master of Music Therapy at the University of Melbourne in 2024. Seraphina brings warmth, creativity and cultural sensitivity to her work. She supports people in using music as a way to express themselves, connect with others and care for their emotional wellbeing. As a co-founder of DMD Creative Trio, she’s especially passionate about advocating for mental health in the Mandarin-speaking community through creative arts.

This event has been organised by the Health Promotion program who are a small team of staff and student volunteers who support student health and wellbeing by leading evidence-based and student-informed campaigns and activities at the university. They also help to raise awareness of the wellbeing support services and resources, and run events for wellbeing days such as R U OK? Day, Uni Mental Health Day and much more. Their mission centres around four pillars of health: Healthier Communities, Healthier Minds, Healthier Relationships and Healthier Bodies.
