The Gr8 Program- A community wellbeing initiative that was funded through the former Sydney North Shore and Beaches Medicare Local. The project brought together members of the First Australian community in Gaimariagal country, with experts in health and non-traditional therapies to identify and address health and wellbeing concerns. The project also facilitated a range of inter-generational cultural activities, Elder teaching and art/music/dance therapies to improve wellbeing and provide a ‘space’ for cultural expression and spiritual healing.
The program was ultimately delivered as a long weekend retreat at Noonaweena, in Kulnura on the Central Coast NSW.
