Mindfulness Events in Ballarat

Ballarat Libraries is proud to present Wellbeing Matters, a series of monthly sessions focusing on general wellbeing. Learn, share and connect in these engaging sessions involving local guest speakers sharing their knowledge and wisdom to help us lead happier and healthier lives. In this hands-on session, local artist Brigid Corcoran will guide you in creating unique collages inspired by Ballarat’s flora and fauna. Using magazine clippings and found objects like leaves, bark, and gumnuts you’ll explore mindfulness and creativity in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Join Certified Forest Therapy Guide Amanda for this two-hour guided session while exploring the calming benefits of Forest Therapy in the beautiful Ballarat Botanical Gardens. This session will help you connect with nature through sensory exploration and guided activities designed to reduce stress and enhance wellbeing. As you wander through the shaded canopies of the garden discover the therapeutic benefits of Shinrin-yoku or Forest Bathing. Supported by scientific research, this immersive experience invites you to slow down, embrace the present moment and rejuvenate your mind and body. We conclude the session with a Japanese inspired tea-sharing ceremony.
