The Power of Connection: Small Actions, Big Changes

Connection is at the heart of human wellbeing – it lifts our mood, reduces stress, and helps us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. Yet in our busy lives, it’s easy to feel disconnected from ourselves, from others, and from the world around us.

Join us for The Power of Connection, a free workshop during Queensland Mental Health Week, hosted by the Vedanta Society and the Power of Us Suicide Prevention Network, in collaboration with Clinical Psychologist Shuktika Bose.

This 3-hour interactive workshop will guide you through:

✨  Grounding practices with music and gentle meditation to start the day with calm and focus.

✨  A beautiful Healing Music session to leave you feeling relaxed and restored.

✨ An energising Laughter Yoga session to connect through joy and play.

✨  Short, accessible talks that explain the psychology and neuroscience of connection.

✨  Practical activities that help you connect with yourself, with others, with community, and with nature.

By the end of the morning, you will leave with:

• A clearer understanding of why connection matters for your mind and body.
• Practical tools you can use every day to reduce stress and strengthen resilience.
• A renewed sense of joy and belonging from sharing the experience with others.

This workshop is free to attend. Donations are welcome and will go directly to Lifeline and Beyond Blue.
