Thursday evening we held another Grief Workshop with Dr. Senem Eren in Craigieburn, alongside the ICMG Women's Group.

It was a deeply moving session, creating space for women to explore grief, honour their experiences, and connect with one another through compassion and understanding. There were many emotions in the room, along with moments of reflection, healing, and hope.

Thank you to everyone who attended with such openness and courage, and to Dr. Senem Eren for guiding this important work with such care. 💙 ... See MoreSee Less

Last week, we had the privilege of facilitating a beautiful Clay Therapy Workshop with Cohealth in Truganina, led by our talented Art Therapist, Noha Aly.

Through the grounding and expressive qualities of clay, participants were invited to slow down, reflect, connect, and explore creativity in a safe and supportive space. It was wonderful to witness moments of insight, connection, and self-expression throughout the session.

A heartfelt thank you to Cohealth for welcoming us. We look forward to creating more opportunities for wellbeing through the creative arts. ... See MoreSee Less

Our very last New Beginnings session took place this past weekend, bringing the program to a meaningful close.

Over the journey, participants came together to build connections, share experiences, learn new skills, and support one another through life's transitions. What began as a group of individuals became a community of encouragement, belonging, and growth.

We're grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to making New Beginnings such a special program. May the friendships, confidence, and connections formed along the way continue well beyond these sessions. ✨

Last weekend, Dr Senem Eren facilitated a grief and loss workshop at the Albanian Islamic Society, exploring grief through both psychological and Islamic perspectives.

Participants reflected on the reality of loss as part of the human experience, drawing on Islamic teachings that remind us of the importance of patience (sabr), faith, community support, and hope in Allah's mercy during times of hardship.

We thank the Albanian Islamic Society for hosting this meaningful session and everyone who joined us in learning, reflection, and connection. ... See MoreSee Less
