Home Ground Matariki project in Newtown!

Home Ground is running another 3-day workshop to soak up the energy, renewal and reflection of Matariki! Please share with friends and whānau!

​Our workshops are an opportunity for wāhine to try out different art forms with different artists, and other women. Participants will learn more about themselves and the creative process. ​ Home Ground is a creativity and wellbeing programme for women who are in the justice system. Each programme uses creative arts practice, such as photography, creative writing, movement and music, as a non-threatening, strengths-based approach to self-empowerment, community connectedness and wellbeing. ​ WHERE Newtown Park Apartments, Mansfield Street, Newtown, Wellington WHEN The project starts on Tuesday 10th June, 10:00am.
