Thick Timber Slabs for Indigenous Carving & Men's Mental Health Healing Circle

Logan Central QLD 4114

We are seeking the donation of a thick, sturdy slab of hardwood (such as mahogany, cedar, ironbark, or similar carving-grade timber) to support a self-funded Men’s Healing and Art Circle. This grassroots group serves as a vital mental health support network for local men experiencing trauma, grief, and emotional distress. Through our "Music and the Mind" and cultural art programs, we guide participants to process strong emotions, sit with difficult feelings. Carving traditional Indigenous artifacts provides these men with a powerful, physical medium to release stored tension from the body and externalise their internal struggles into an expressive art form. This self-funded initiative relies entirely on community generosity to keep running. Your donation of a timber slab will directly provide a therapeutic outlet, foster cultural connection, and support the ongoing mental health recovery of men in our community who have no other access to these resources

Amidst the rugged peaks of the Scenic Rim, a vital lifeline quietly endures. Every fortnight, up to 40 men gather. A mix of Aboriginal elders, young Indigenous men, and community allies united by a deep respect for First Nations culture. This group provides a completely confidential and safe sanctuary where members can find solidarity. Without breaching their privacy, many in this circle have quietly navigated immense hardships, overcoming severe personal crisis, mental health battles, social dislocation, and the heavy impacts of consecutive severe weather events in the region. Yet, within this trusted space, they find healing and purpose. At the heart of this group is a proud Aboriginal elder. Driven by a fierce commitment to his community, he has completely self-funded this entire program out of his own pocket. To ensure these fortnightly gatherings continue, he personally purchases and provides all the food for the men. He cannot carry this financial weight alone anymore.
