Social Groups & Activities
Our House Our Haven run a number of social groups and activities throughout the year aimed at fostering social connection and greater wellbeing. These groups are largely informal classes and workshops and are open to anyone in the community. They are often free to attend, and equipment is provided.
Follow our Facebook page for updates on activities and schedules.
Gentle Yoga Relaxation sessions
Friday’s at 10am we hold a gentle Yoga class. All abilities are welcome. Most of the session is done seated in chairs, with some standing positions for stretches and movements.
The focus is on breathwork and relaxation.
Sue, with The Yoga Partnership, runs the session.
The cost is $10 per person. Please let us know if you’d like to attend so we can book you in.
Drumming Circles
Our Drumming Circle is one of our popular regular activities. Running weekly, all willing participants will have a djembe to play.
Fridays at 10am and other times by request.
Drumming induces relaxation, as it helps people release tension and emotional burdens. It also brings you to the present moment.
At our circles, there is no specific agenda. One person proposes a beat and the rest of the group follows until the whole group achieves a harmonic sound. Speed varies, and it seems to naturally ebb and flow. No one is more or better than the person sitting next to them, creating a sense of comradery and community.
Drumming is known to stimulate the brain as it synchronises the right and left hemisphere, as well as creates new neural connections. In addition to this, it is fun and therefore boosts the immune system.
