A 12-week project is giving women in Brimbank the opportunity to work on their wellbeing.
The program that starts next month is being run by the Women’s Support Network and funded by a Brimbank council mental wellbeing grant.
It is aimed at addressing comparatively higher levels of mental ill health experienced by women in Brimbank.
The network’s vice-president of internal affairs Ko Sonnoy said they offer a safe and friendly environment for women of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to access, explore and learn about themselves through movement, meditation and art.
“In this 12 week program we will explore four themes relating to different aspects of our wellbeing using the nature metaphors of Root, Moss, Blossom, Feather,” she said.
“No art experience is required. We use art techniques for the purpose of uncovering meanings unique to each person and not for the purpose of creating a beautiful image, or good drawing. The end result will be interesting for insights it offers to the person who made it, and possibly others.”
Participants will be invited to include art works they created during the program in a group exhibition.
