22.01.2022 Dear valued community, The Wellspring needs your help. The Covid-19 lockdowns and our forced closure during the last months have had a significant impact on us financially. We have still had costs to cover, and being unable to generate the income to do that. We deeply want to continue provide our wonderful services to the community and The Wellspring management is committed to making this happen and continuing to grow our unique community resource into the future. In ord...er to do this, we need to find a way to gather the funds to cover the costs we have been unable to meet during the lockdown, and to see us through the next few months of rebuilding. We are hopeful that we can raise the money, and are calling on the support of the greater community to contribute to a Crowdfunding Campaign through GoFundMe to keep The Wellspring alive. We certainly believe that it is a significant asset to the community and worth protecting. As you know our not-for-profit model and the fact that we are volunteer run enables us to provide our services to the community at low cost. And we feel that The Wellspring is yet to reach its full potential. So we are asking for your help. If you feel to donate that would be wonderful. But the biggest thing that would support us at the moment is to help us spread the word about the plight of The Wellspring and encourage people to donate to our cause. We would deeply appreciate you letting as many people in your networks know as possible. Social media is a great way to do this, but any way you can spread the word would be amazing. It may make the difference between The Wellspring continuing to exist, or not. We urge you to take the time to do this, and if you can to do it as soon as you can. We would love to start this campaign with a burst of activity, and this initial support often helps crowdfunding campaigns meet their targets. Here is our link: www.gofundme.com/f/Save-our-wellspring We thank you for your part in having made The Wellspring what it is, and for anything you can do to help us to continue to grow and prosper together. Gratefully, The Wellspring Team.

15.01.2022 Community Call to Action! The Wellspring Warburton is urgently seeking community to become active members of a team to steer and manage the space into the next phase of its development. The Wellspring is a community-run not for profit wellness centre hosting local and visiting wellness practitioners, and community groups to run events, groups and classes in the beautifully-designed and eco-conscious renovation of the former CFA building in the main street of Warburton. Belind...a and Sue, the driving forces of the Wellspring to date, are resigning in the next few months - having headed up much of the hard work in renovating, raising funds and setting up the ongoing running of the Wellspring. This is a call for new board and committee members ready and able to lead and join our existing management group and carry and develop this wonderful community resource into the future. Roles are on a volunteer basis and involve responsibility, commitment and a few to several hours contribution each week. Please come along to our information session and Q and A: at the Wellspring - 3424 Warburton Highway Warburton - on Sunday 22nd March at 2pm. Doors open at 1.30pm for walk through, chai and nibbles. The Wellspring needs you! Our lease expires at the end of July 2020 - come and help us decide if we are to renew it. Please register your interest by emailing us at - [email protected]

12.01.2022 Here's a meditation to open our hearts to #gratitude and joy this holiday season. Let yourself sit quietly and at ease. Allow your body to be relaxed and open, ...your breath natural, your heart easy. Begin the practice of gratitude by feeling how year after year you have cared for your own life. Now let yourself begin to acknowledge all that has supported you in this care: With gratitude I remember the people, animals, plants, insects, creatures of the sky and sea, air and water, fire and earth, all whose joyful exertion blesses my life every day. With gratitude I remember the care and labor of a thousand generations of elders and ancestors who came before me. I offer my gratitude for the blessing of this earth I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the measure of health I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the family and friends I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the community I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the teachings and lessons I have been given. I offer my gratitude for the life I have been given. Read more: https://jackkornfield.com/meditation-gratitude-joy/

On the other hand, it also means being completely a...nd totally honest with yourself about the fact that you’re furious." Pema Chödrön takes us step by step through this powerful practice. See more

07.01.2022 The ancient art of YOGA helps us to pave the way we walk in our every day activities by connecting us to our bodies, breath and feelings. When we move in a certain way, bringing attention to parts of the body relaxing or activating muscles we let the vital energy and blood to flow in our body. That brings the vitality and enthusiasm we need to keep our body strong, our mind clear and our heart open. Yoga is for every body when it is practiced in a safe and intelligent way.... You don’t need to be flexible to do yoga. The practice will bring that. Sandra did her first yoga teacher training in 2005, followed by Yogatherapy and Ayurveda course. Since then she has taught yoga for different ages from children to seniors. Her style incorporates asanas (poses and postures), vinyasa (dynamic movement), pranayama (breath control) and meditation. Following her passion for dancing and free expression, Sandra became an accredited CHAKRADANCE Facilitator. Chakradance is a healing dance practice for body and soul. Based on the 4000-year old system of the chakras that form the backbone of Eastern philosophies, including yoga and acupuncture, Chakradance is a surprisingly effective, anyone-can-do-it, way to de-stress and rebalance your inner energies. Sandra is offering both of these classes at the Wellspring for the next 2 weeks before school holidays. If you would like to find out more or book, please contact Sandra 0410 951 128 [email protected]

01.01.2022 The practice of yoga is to come home to yourself, weaving your mind, body and soul into union. This practice is achieved through pure awareness, physical movement and breathing techniques. These classes will be a combination of asana, pranayama and meditation on the mat. Gentle Flow/Yin is an invitation to explore movement in your body, to cultivate listening to your emotional and physical needs and a practice of resting into stillness. This class will begin with gentle dy...namic movment to prepare to rest in stillness, whilst being invited to hold yourself in compassion. Beginners welcomed.'' Caitlin Bowen - Yoga Instructor Join Caitlin on the mat Wednesdays 9.30am for the next 3 weeks! Bookings - 0407 833 633
