Doreen-Whittlesea Co-op Space for Health, Wellbeing & Creative Practitioners

The space will house meditations, energy healing group sessions and treatments. These will be delivered by local resident complementary therapists. Local creative residents will also be able to display and sell their work from this space giving them an opportunity to share their talents with the local community. They will also be able to hold workshops and teach others. This initiative will bring the community together. It will promote wellbeing and health through complementary approaches drawing on the talents within the community itself. This space will provide an avenue for local residents to gather together, build solidarity and community spirit.

This co-op Space will be a multi-faceted community space offering the following benefits to the Doreen and surrounding communities:
- Enhancing the health and wellbeing of the local community;
- Helping to connect practitioners through networking and reducing isolation;
- Giving people a space to be creative and/or grow their businesses in the community in which they live;
- Offering programs that draw out participants' sense of purpose in a supportive environment that inspires them to fulfill their dreams and share their gifts with others.
This is a 12 month pilot project to determine the need within the Doreen community.
