Join us in-person or online for a fascinating lunchtime conversation that will discuss the obvious (and perhaps less obvious) moments that have shaped the fight for equality for women in Australia and the change yet to happen. The panel of gender experts - artists, writers and activists from all walks of life - will have an inclusive and meaningful conversation about the moments that have been defining for a diversity of Australian women. Hear about the power of women to drive momentous change in the world and the key moments over the last half century which have changed the state of play, from workplace reforms in the 1980s to former Prime Minister Julia Gillard's misogyny speech and the MeToo movement in Australia. The conversation will be guided by legal academic and women's rights activist, Ramona Vijeyarasa, joined by Mi-kaisha Masella, Catherine Fox, Michelle Higelin and April Helene-Horton (aka The Bodzilla). Join us in-person at Darling Square Library or live online vi...

Bush Bash - is a series of vibrant oil paintings that aim to capture the essence of the Mornington Peninsula's remaining woodland areas. In this series, Croft's works are rendered in rich greens and earth tones, with an emphasis on the interplay between light and shadow. The thickly applied paint gives native trees and foliage a tactile quality and sense of life, as if one could reach out and touch them. The effect, particularly in the banksia works is almost sculptural. The warm, ochre red tones of the intricate banksia flower contrast beautifully with the cooler hues of its surrounding, further emphasising its unique character as an emblematic Australian native plant. This body of work also symbolises a shift in the artist's technical approach. Throughout this series Croft newly employs hundreds of individually hand cut stencils to give a sharper edge to leaves and peeling bark. The result is a more honest textural representation of the landscape while allowing the artist...

Join New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra as he guides you on how to wake up to new levels of awareness that will ultimately cultivate a clear vision, heal suffering in your mind and body, and help recover who you really are. Are we in the midst of a major paradigm shift in science? How does our understanding of consciousness as pure potentiality enhance our capacity for intuition, creativity, conscious choice making, healing, and the awakening of dormant potentials such as non local communication and non local sensory experience? How does our understanding of consciousness also enhance our capacity for total well being (physical, emotional, spiritual, social, community, financial and ecological)? In the midst of widespread trepidation, what are the new goals that each of us might start pursuing right now? Chopra will address these questions as well as practical ways to experience transformation and healing. DEEPAK CHOPRA MD, FACP, FRCP founder of The C...
