Project Infinity - Collectives for Connection in Ageing Community, Nillumbik

Ageing members of our community join facilitated collectives to rediscover self esteem and form greater connection and fulfilment.

Collectives enable interaction, communication and storytelling with one another, creating an inspiring and strong support system amongst members and their families and community.

The safe environment allows members to freely express themselves, contribute to others and experience increased well-being through belonging to the collective.

Key activities of the project include structured sessions, discussion, training and facilitation, guest speakers, collaboration, enhanced relationships with partners, families and their community.
