Our presenter is Karen Allen with the facilitator Janine Quine.

Karen and her mother migrated from England to Australia when she was 11 years old.

For decades, Karen’s commitment to social and environmental justice has seen her involvement

in various movements that focused on peace, anti-nuclear and now, Karen is a climate change

activist. At 80, she has slowed down a little but continues to be involved by raising awareness.

Here is Karen’s invitation to us all:

“What do Joan, Jo, Margaret, Betsy + Peg, and Georgia have in common?

Please come along and listen to my stories and find out.

Looking back on my long life I had quite a few jobs before going to Uni as a mature age student and

graduating with a BA in Library Science.

My library career actually began in the historic Sandgate Town Hall, just a short walk away from

where we are to meet.

A clue about Margaret, she changed my life but never knew that she had done so.

Maybe you could guess who she was?”

We are looking forward to welcome Karen to Womenspace and trust many will be attending - arrival at

6pm for 6.30start, light refreshments.

$5 donation and raffle and door prize at the entry.

Mosaic Project

The MOSAIC PROJECT ‘Opening the New Door’ was inspired by the EmpowHer program 2024. This is an invitation to participate in creating the second large panel for the walls framing the entrance to our downstairs space – a welcoming mosaic, saying ‘come in and be YOU, the women from the past and present are with you, enjoy it, respect it and add your energy to this space. Be mindful, have fun’.

Experience not necessary, you will learn like we did.

What do Writers do? We write! We explore the way words help us navigate our lives. These sessions are based on the work of Natalie Goldberg. She says, "Give yourself the space to write without a destination. Trust your own mind, body and voice."

$5 per session.

This weekly session has a long tradition, bringing together old friends and meeting new ones over morning tea/coffee. Sharing stories individually and with the whole group. Helping each other, enjoying calm, safe environment of Womenspace, supported by facilitators Kaye and Rhyll.

Join Helen Suchting in a joyful, music-based movement class designed to get people laughing, moving and reconnecting with themselves and each other. Cost $50 Spaces limited - Book Now!

The original Chat with Purpose morphed into Soup Circle with conversations ranging from concerns about development approvals for key infrastructure (venues, athlete villages, transportation hubs) for the 2032 Olympic Games - to bead knitted Victorian style necklaces.

The center of the action is the soup shared over more conversations and recipe swaps.

Come to the first one and return for the next one with a pot of soup to share!

Lisa Elms brings to her workshops warms, generosity, calm and briliant colours.

Treat yourself to a beautiful Sunday. 

All materials & refreshments provided. Cost $70 - bookings to be finalised Wednesday 6 August by 5pm.

The idea began with: “I listen to many interesting podcasts and don’t have a chance to discuss it with someone in person”.
Well – here is an opportunity – what did you listen to, what interesting (positive) news you received, books, films, or exhibitions you saw and didn’t have a chance to talk about it? We do that, we discuss the new findings and finish the evening with a chat over a bowl of soup. Join us – just turn up!

Our topic this month is GRIEF

It won’t be a sad session, rather a session about love and how we relate to ourselves and others through life’s tough moments.

We thought we would make Geraldine Brooks our presenter. You have probably seen her exploring her own grief on an episode of Compass, but you probably did not have companions right there with you to discuss it.

So, let’s watch it together and draw from it the particular aspects each of us would like to explore. We all do grief differently, of course, there is no one right way, no universal stages and no set timelines. For some of us we hold dear the ways of grieving of our family and culture, and for some of us we need to imagine new ways.

This is a different approach to Women Weaving Stories, but one we hope you enjoy.

 Inspiring evening to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. Exchange ideas, get a raffle ticket, share a nibble, a cuppa or cool drink.
