Marnin News — Healing Space

Creating Welcoming Spaces

We are reimagining and redesigning all the spaces across our organisation. 

We took down the old reception area and replaced it with plants and chairs that invite everyone to stop and take a breather in the air-conditioning. 

There are some more changes to come, we are slowly making improvements and feeling really positive about the welcoming vibe we have created. We like watching how small changes influence how we respond and encourage people to connect with each other, and stop and enjoy our inside and outside garden spaces.

Baya Gawiy Garden to Plate Project

The children and educators at Baya Gawiy  all play a part in the garden to plate project where they help to grow the plants and care and nurture them until they are ready to pick and eat.

The quality of the education and care being delivered to our Fitzroy Valley families is very impressive. We all feel so good when we come into the centre and see such healthy and engaged children all actively participating in learning, while also having a lot of fun.

Great Work Baya Gawiy Team

It is so good to look around our different work spaces and see the products our women have created.

Connecting to Country

Connecting to Country does wonders for our wellbeing, sense of connection and enjoyment of life. The team have been taking young people on country , listening to what they need and finding ways to support them. Sometimes the best things in life are so simple, we have to make them happen more often, to build our strength and resilience. 

 

We are once again reminded of the healing power of Country.
