10 weeks of creative wellness activities you can do at home

Welcome!

Welcome to Creative Wellness at Home, a Creative Resilience Project by Community and Cultural Connections Inc (CCCi) and supported by funding from Inner West Council.

Over the next ten weeks, we’ll be providing do-at-home activities that are designed to promote your wellbeing during Sydney’s lockdown. These activities will incorporate physical movement, mindfulness, and cultural expression to promote holistic wellness and resilience during this really challenging time.

Our weekly activities will be released via this newsletter and promoted on Facebook. We’ll also be sharing activities from other sources that you can do at home. You can also visit this link creativeresilienceinnerwest.substack.com to see all of the activities so far.
