Mindful Movement & Poetry: Free community sessions at Kathleen Syme Library

  • Kathleen Syme Library 251 Faraday Street Carlton, VIC, 3053 Australia (map)

Detailed information about these sessions can be found here.

This 60-minute session offers a range of mindfulness and movement practices (including chair-based options) that can be integrated across daily life to support more spaciousness, reduce feelings of overwhelm, stress and anxiety and restore a sense of flow within the body. Drawing inspiration from the library, the facilitator will also integrate poetry into the session.

About your facilitator:

Tea (she/her) is a Filipino-Australian multi-disciplinary artist, storyteller and wellbeing facilitator deeply immersed in an ongoing exploration of cultural identity, belonging and feminism. 

Born and raised on Woiwurrung country to activist parents with a lineage of resistance fighters, Tea is driven by social justice issues and champions the liberation of historically oppressed groups. She currently works in advocacy and communications at Multicultural Arts Victoria. 

Tea's curiosity in the intersection of mental health, wellbeing and art stems from her own journey of unpacking the mental, physical and emotional impact of assimilation and colonialism on her creative expression. Together with her background and training in yoga, somatics, theatre, sound, cultural safety and decolonising practices, Tea is dedicated to facilitating spaces for people to find deep rest in safety and embodiment.
