23.01.2022 Long after a woman flees, there are many road blocks, that keep her from thriving. From struggling to find safe accomodation, pay rent, parent, manage fear, navigate life, cope with trauma, to not believing she is worthy of support, love & time to heal. It's the way she has been conditioned. We believe it’s time to change this narrative! We know that like this bulb, despite a long winter she can thrive again, she can flourish, she can live again. The EVE Project will support her as long as she chooses to stay connected. We thank you for supporting us, so we can continue to show her that she is worthy & that in fact she, just like all of us, has a contribution to make to improve her community. #selfworth #selfcare #loveyourself #believesurvivors #stopviolenceagainstwomen #speakup #standup #TEP #nourishinglives #nuturingchange

23.01.2022 If you saw our last post you’ll know there’s some exciting things coming up for @theeveprojectau in 2021. However like all goals, steps need to put in place to make things happen. So on Saturday arvo, after our annual AGM & board meeting Lisa & Helen stepped away from the helm for two days, to stop, process & plan for the next 6mths. Work life balance is vital & it’s important to stop and celebrate the milestones along the way. And so yes they enjoyed a couple of walks and a cheeky wine or two.

22.01.2022 Take Home meals are back with new menu items coming over next couple of weeks. First up this yummy, wholesome Asian soba noodle salad. Light, fresh & colourful with a tamari, citrus dressing & finished with black sesame seeds. Needs some protein - just add on some silken tofu to your salad. Head to our store to order! (Link in bio) Remember order any day before Monday night for Thursday pick up @flametreecoop or @cleaverandcomeats

21.01.2022 Making some Strawberry & Rhubarb jam yesterday, we reflected on the fact that making jam takes time and patience, much like the healing journey, but at the end is a sweet reward. It’s not easy but we love that we can give our trainees the support & time they need & we are so encouraged when they face each challenge with courage and patience. BTW - jam available @flametreecoop by end of week x

21.01.2022 A collaborative piece we did this week in art therapy with @sallyannconwell Create a piece that represents what @theeveprojectau mean to us collectively. Love, safety, peace, growth, gratitude, boundaries with kindness & a breaking down of generational trauma was what we all came up with. Art is such an amazing creative practice to aid in healing trauma. We are so thankful to offer it to our trainees as part of our Thriving Futures program and for our beautiful art therapist Sally. #healing #nourishinglives #nuturingchange #arttherapy #illawarra #stopviolenceagainstwomen #breakgenerationaltrauma

14.01.2022 Words matter! So at the start of each day of the program we share word of encouragement, words that empower, words that build up and break through negative speech that has often been a long term narrative in our trainees lives. We hope these words also encourage you today because they couldn’t be truer. This world needs YOU & your unique gifting, talents, skills & ideas.... You are unique, there is no-one else in the world like you, there has never been or never will be. So be you - you are worth fighting for. #nourishinglives #nuturingchange #selfcare #selfcompassion #wordsmatter #selflove See more

07.01.2022 Representing Equality, Value & Empowerment, The EVE Project was founded in 2017 & is based in the Illawarra region of NSW. It offers female survivors of abuse a multi-faceted approach to support them as they rebuild their lives. The EVE project provide: (1) therapeutic services to help women heal and regain their sense of self worth, value and purpose and (2) Training, mentoring and work experience programs (in our social enterprises) designed to empower women and provide pathways to meaningful ongoing employment.

06.01.2022 We are always in awe of how brave the women we have the privilege of working with are. Despite so much and against great difficulties, they strive to make life better for themselves and for their families. Their courage inspires us to continue to build an organisation that brings equality, value and empowerment to women who have survived abuse and walk with them as they heal.

06.01.2022 Starting next week, traditional style zucchini falafel served with creamy tahini dressing on our take home meals menu. Order by Monday night for Thursday pick up. #wholesomefood #vegan #whatchangetasteslike #socialenterprises #nourishinglives #nurturingchange

06.01.2022 Long post alert but please read: New Season Ahead: We're so excited to announce that starting in 2021 The EVE Project will have its very own space. There's been lots happening behind the scenes to reach this next stage, we’ve outgrown our current shared space so most importantly our new space will give us the flexibility for further growth! We’ll be able to expand our services to further support women as they heal from the trauma of past abuse. We’re super excited to be ...launching a support group early in 2021 for women already working in their chosen field but who live with the triggers and other impacts of trauma. This group will also be open to graduates of our Thriving Futures program, providing ongoing support and mentoring as they navigate new employment options. This step will also allow for more innovation in creating business revenue through EVE & Co (our social enterprise) which supports the operation of our programs. With this shift comes an opportunity for you to give a 'Different kind of donation'. We anticipate work will commence on fit-out of the new space within the next few weeks, so if you are a tradie or know a tradie that would be willing to pitch in and help get our space up and running please get in touch. We need plumbers, electricians, carpenters, tilers, flooring specialists and more. Keep watching this space. photo via @kylecoffee_photography #nourishinglives #nuturingchange #supportingeve #socialenterprise #new-chapter #bulli #stopviolenceagainstwomen See more

05.01.2022 Small pause: We’re still working hard behind the sense with catering, take home meals and case management but we’re having a little less social media time over this next couple of weeks while our ladies are on school holidays and we catch up on the never ending to do list. Who knows we might even get five minutes to visit the beach. Keep orders & enquiries coming in and continue to share about who we are with others. See you soon

02.01.2022 The journey of healing with yoga is so incredible, to be able to learn to ease the chaos trauma brings and learning how to listen and reconnect with your body, slowing your mind to be back to the present moment has filled me with great amounts of gratitude and self awareness!- program participants Trauma informed yoga is one of the therapies that makes up the wellbeing section of our Thriving Futures Program. Not only does this provide the regular therapeutic benefi...ts of yoga, it takes a respectful approach acknowledging the trauma each person has experienced. It also reinforces what we’re discussing in our theory & case management sessions about learning what our bodies are teaching us about what is beneficial or not beneficial to us in every aspect of our lives. Here’s just a few examples: recognise, acknowledge & understand sensations in our bodies; giving ourselves permission to stop & be still; practicing mindfulness & teaching our bodies to drop & relax. Thank you Di for giving us the gift of you. We love & appreciate you & your gentle instruction. See more

01.01.2022 After a much needed break at the end of 2020 we are back and super excited for the year ahead. Our new space starts its make over this week and we hope to be up and running in there very soon. Keep watching for updates and ways to get involved. If you’ve got any catering needs coming up, get in touch, our take home meals will be back with some new items and we have some new branded merchandise coming soon. Lots happening but most importantly we’ll continue the most important aspect of @theeveprojectau #nourishinglives #nurturingchange
