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:

Ezgi (she/her) was born and raised on the unceded lands of the Osage nation, Missouria, and Illini confederacy and now resides on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. 

Ezgi’s identity as a person of colour and child of Turkish and Bangladeshi immigrants has significantly shaped her passions, values and career. Her curiosity has led her to pursue various forms of education, including a Master’s in International Migration and Public Policy, a yoga teacher certification, and a Diploma of Counselling. She has woven trauma-informed and culturally aware practices into her various professional and volunteer experiences, and currently channels her energy into working with people from refugee, asylum seeker, and migrant backgrounds. 

Movement, yoga, mindfulness, and somatic practices have created calmness, joy, connection, and ease in Ezgi’s life and she loves sharing these practices and learning alongside others in the community. Deeply aligned with Collective Being’s belief that wellbeing is a right, not a privilege, Ezgi is devoted to creating spaces where people of all different backgrounds and bodies feel safe, welcomed, and at ease.
