After a 3 year pandemic-related break, we’re excited to be picking up this event again to engage in conversations on mental health. Artists of different disciplines are invited to bring their unique perspectives and commentary by creating new work around the theme of ‘be longing’ as it relates to mental health. Artists will be joined by the voices of thinkers and practitioners who engage with these issues in different spheres.

The series will consist of a visual art exhibition and a performance and forum night. Visual art will be displayed in an exhibition at Annandale Creative Arts Centre (ACAC) over a week and short performance works will be presented alongside a forum of speakers on the evening of Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd September 2023, also at ACAC.

The Visual Art exhibition which I am a part of will run from 20th September until 1st October.

Sunday Selah - Create

Sunday Selah - Create

Selah: to pause.

We invite you to take some time for you to be still and connect with the Spirit.
Be guided by our Rise team to settle into stillness and rest.

This Sunday Selah will be lead by Tania Vrancic as you create with clay.

This is a mindfulness practise. Learning to be fully present in the moment but focussing on the tactility of clay and the act of making. You will enjoy a peaceful experience where your hands will be busy creating a clay piece, a pinch pot or a plate, allowing your mind to become quiet and calm.

There will be time for silence, and for chatter, and a time for sharing stories. All craft levels welcome.

Join us for a cup of delicious tea and a time to catch up with friends.

Please go to the @iwillrise.com.au website to book your ticket for $25
