Why we are offering this
As we recognise the impact of the February 2024 storms on our community, we're offering this one day event. By waiving fees, our aim is to remove the financial barrier that often limits access to the emotional healing and resilience-building tools needed to navigate this challenging period. With limited spaces available, we encourage those grappling with the shock and aftermath of the storms to secure their spot and benefit from this opportunity.
