This free Community Flow Arts gathering has become a vital source of connection, belonging and wellbeing in the Northern Rivers. Each month, 50–90 people attend, including families, young people, older residents, people living with disability and those experiencing social isolation.

Many participants have lived through floods, bushfires and other disasters. Research suggests flow arts can support trauma recovery, emotional wellbeing and resilience. The gathering provides a safe, welcoming space where people connect, learn new skills, build confidence and feel part of a supportive community.

People experiencing isolation have formed friendships, rebuilt confidence and found a sense of belonging. There are few free opportunities for regular community connection like this in the area. The organiser has self-funded the gatherings for the past year, but growing attendance means this is no longer sustainable.

Support is needed to keep this important community lifeline free and accessible.
