Harmony Day at Featherbrook Community Centre Harmony Day at Featherbrook Community Centre Harmony Day at Featherbrook Community Centre Connec�on is the energy that is created between people, when they feel, seen, heard and valuedConnec�on is the energy that is created between people, when they feel, seen, heard and valuedConnec�on is the energy that is created between people, when they feel, seen, heard and valued
Joy and deep connec*on were palpable at Featherbrook Community Centre during mul*-cultural week. In a move away from facility
management, re-framed in community development principles and prac*ce, the community opened its heart and put on its own
event, a community share lunch. The fes*vi*es kicked off with a non-standard, hear/elt welcome to country, followed by our kinder
team’s Kulin na*on welcome song, including ac*ons. This was followed by a truly hysterical session of laughter yoga shared by the
newly-formed local group ‘Ac*ve Young 55+’.
Community members brought a dish to share and engaged in a facilitated ac*vity designed to open doors between individuals, groups
and cultures. On each table, volunteers and staff supported dialogue from the heart, about the foods significance, encouraging sharing
about home lands, history, culture and most importantly family. From fairy bread to goat curry, the diversity was amazing. Food and
family are truly a wonderful way to connect people of all backgrounds. It was a humbling experience for all involved to bear witness to
the stories steeped in both joy and sorrow.
Community groups brought music to share and people from all ages, groups and walks of life jumped in and par*cipated, from
tradi*onal Chinese dance, to Le Petrel’s Mauri*an Sega, to the joys of Bollywood sounds. A community art piece was also made, using
*les created by all groups who use the centre, sharing a thought, quote, feeling, word or picture to represent belonging. We are s*ll in
the a@erglow at Featherbrook and can’t wait for our next chance to hold an event and provide opportuni*es for sharing and
connec*on within the community.
Events
The Green Living Series 2018 has finished and the response to the wicking bed workshop at the Featherbrook Community Centre was
amazing. Craig Castree from Edible Gardens showed local residents how to build a wicking bed that contributes to not only saving
huge amounts of water but also on how to best u&lise and plan your gardens.
The response from the community was truly be'er than an&cipated with all par&cipants commi'ed to working together towards
the end result. This project was a huge success and we now have a number of Community Groups managing the garden beds on a
daily basis. Make sure you check out the vibrant colours and variety of plants next &me you are at Featherbrook Community Centre!

Volunteer Appreciation Volunteer Appreciation at at Featherbrook Featherbrook
A Volunteer Apprecia*on morning tea was held to acknowledge our volunteers
