Learn how to make some fun new projects with yarn! Join us at Forbes Library to learn how to make some colourful craft projects. We will make a simple friendship bracelet with a special weaving tool, and then make our own french knitting loom to get started with a french knitting project. All materials will be provided, and both looms can be taken home at the end of the session.

Curious about the native plants in your paddock? We will show you how to identify species, spot key differences, and understand what they reveal about your land.

Ladies Who Lead is an in-person workshop for women ready to communicate with clarity, confidence and calm - without burning out or shrinking themselves. This experience gives you time away from the noise to slow down, sharpen your voice and connect with other women who want to be heard - clearly and confidently. This workshop is practical and easy to apply. You’ll leave with clear tools to communicate with confidence, a stronger, steadier voice - even under pressure, more ease when speaking in meetings or conversations, better listening and connection with others, less overthinking after you speak, and simple ways to say what you mean without shrinking or pushing. Most importantly, you’ll leave feeling - Clear. Calm. Confident in your voice.
