For several years I hosted going away parties, which became meetings in which friends convinced me to stay in Victoria. I lived in the centre of Melbourne Collingwood, Carlton and also in the inner suburbs of East Brunswick and Preston. But I always felt that something was missing. An inner ache for home, a calling to return to the land. Weekend trips out of the city became my lifeline. Written while on holiday at my Mum’s home in Beerwah, Queensland, August 2014.

Carrying a baby to full ter...

Moments of sharing and creating with three generations. During our last intensive for masters at MIECAT (Melbourne Institute for Experiential and Creative Arts Therapy) we were invited to create an “Anchor” that would travel with us throughout the next two years of the course. This would be something to refer to when needed and to ground ourselves throughout our professional practice and research. I created a doll based on those made in the art groups I have facilitated. Suzanne invited Amanda and I to c...
