What is it:
A workshop using Joanna Macey’s ‘Work that Reconnects’ as well as elements of meditation and yoga. Our aim is to refresh, renew and re-inspire transitioners, permaculturalists, greenies, climate activists, environmentalists, upskillers, community developers, occupiers or diy-ers that are troubled by the state of the world, overworked, overstressed, disillusioned, despairing, burnt out, or on that path.Children are warmly welcome. There will be children’s activities and childminding through the day.

Why:
In the midst of all the work we do for our community and our world, sometimes we forget to nurture ourselves.

Logistics:
The cost of the workshop is $20 full or $10 concession – vegetarian lunch provided. If you would like to bring some snacks to share for morning and afternoon tea that would be lovely – some will be provided.

Fruit Squad is a project that involves volunteers picking backyard fruit and giving it to SecondBite, an organisation that redistributes fresh, nutritious food to those in need via hostels, rooming houses and community services, many located in Darebin.

With the summer seasons fruit ripening fast, the Fruit Squad is currently looking for back yard trees to pick.  If you live in Northcote, Thornbury or Preston, in the area bounded by Bell Street, St Georges Road, Grange Road and Heidelberg Road, and would like to register your fruit trees for harvesting, or want to pick your own which we can collect, please call Jika Jika Community Centre on (03) 9482 5100 or e-mail liz@jikajika.org.au.

Fruit Squad is an initiative of Transition Darebin in partnership with Jika Jika Community Centre, with support from Darebin City Council.
