After more than a year being dormant, I have decided to let go of the ‘static’ group and move forward with my new program focusing on Fathers.
FATHERS 4 FATHERS is a 12-week program with its goal to teach certain life skills and empower dads or fathers to be in Communication, Direction, Responsibility and Emotional Awareness.
The initial start was planned for end of April 2020, where CoVid19 stopped the project even from being advertised. New date is not fixed yet, and will be in September 2020 and taking place in Murwillumbah.
Below is the link to the website to register or get information :

AND we may bump into each other on the streets of Murwillumbah through the project of a good friend and generous soul – Deep Listeners.
This group of ‘Listeners’ will be available in the community to listen. As this is a skill that is in short supply and we are trained and there to listen to whatever sits on your chest. Listeners will wear a badge to be identifiable and anyone can take their sorrow or stories to one of us and ‘talk it out’.
Official launch is 2 September 2020.
