Co.Create Conversations: Creativity As Medicine
About
Co.Create Conversations - APRILTopic: "Creativity As Medicine"
When: Saturday 11th April, 3-5pm
Where: Flourish Movement Studio (4/4 Market Street, Woolgoolga)
What:
The heart behind Co.Create Conversations is simple but important:
We want to offer our community a safe, intentionally held space to have conversations that matter. Conversations that we may not be having anywhere else.
Co.Create Conversations is an exciting panel-style gathering designed to spark curious, honest and courageous conversations around the topics that matter, with inspiring people in our community who bring a wealth of lived experience and their own flair and perspective to topics.
These conversations are scheduled to happen monthly, with a different topic being explored each time and an array of different panelist's sharing their wisdom, lived experience, insight and perspective.
Our first conversation explores:
Creativity as Medicine
How does creativity support regulation, expression and healing in our lives - in our body, emotions, mind and spirit? And what impact does that then have in our connections and in our community?
In a small town, we often need spaces that gently invite depth, connection and culture. This gathering has been created to offer exactly that - a safe, intentionally held space to explore how creative practice becomes more than art… it becomes medicine.
Joining us for this relaxed, facilitated conversation with panelists:
• Rebecca King – Movement teacher, Facilitator & Coach
Rebecca is devoted to awakening creativity as a living force.
Through embodied movement, movement as medicine, sacred circles and intimate mentorship, she guides women back to their creative power - the superpower that generates momentum, courage and meaningful change.
As the founder of Flourish Movement Studio, Rebecca creates spaces where creativity is not just expressed, but lived - in community, in ritual, in conversation, in the body. She believes when women gather, move and create together, something powerful is restored. This is the magic she weaves in the world.
• Bruce Meder – Author & poet
Bruce has self-published four books: a book of short stories (Thirty-three Words For Feather); a short historical novel aimed at the tweenager market (Alex and the Rainbow Warrior Affair) loosely based on the bombing of the Greenpeace flagship, Rainbow Warrior, in Auckland Harbour in 1985; a non-fiction book of reflection on my community development experience and work in social justice and environmental movements over 40+ years along with research in those areas (Opportunities Emerging: Social Change in a Complex World). The fourth book I consider my best work, an historical novel spanning five generations centred on an event in World War 1 (Ironic Cross).
In 2012 He began writing a weekly blog featuring articles about community development, social justice, environmental issues, and aspects of democracy. Over the years the themes of this blog (rainbowjuice.org) have expanded to include, eco-psychology, eco-spirituality, consciousness, Buddhist philosophy and psychology, chaos and complexity theory, and systems theory. I continue to write an article for this blog weekly. Thus, there are now over 700 articles online. The blog (https://rainbowjuice.org) attracts between 20,000 – 40,000 views per month.
• Jai Waters – Artist & President of Woolgoolga Gallery
Jai Waters is a Woolgoolga-based contemporary artist and President of the Woolgoolga Art Gallery.
With a background in psychology and change management, she has long led organisational and human transformation.
Through her art practice, Nliven.art, she creates psychologically charged figurative works informed by her capacity to see faces and forms within abstraction.
For Jai, creativity is an ongoing practice of self-expression through which her own identity continues to clarify and strengthen. She believes in the power of art to create connection - strengthening those who make it while deepening their connection to the communities they belong to.
Together, we’ll explore how movement, art and poetry can support nervous system regulation, emotional expression, healing and connection in community.
This is not a performance.
It’s not formal.
It’s a grounded, conversational panel followed by space for audience reflection and connection.
Introductory tickets: $25 pp
Tea, coffee and light refreshments included.
Come if you’re curious.
Come if you’re craving depth.
Come if you believe creativity is more than a hobby. It’s a pathway home to ourselves.
