Help us shape potential new social groups at the Homestead! πŸ’¬πŸ«ΆπŸŒ³

At Homestead, we’re always looking for new ways to connect and grow together as a community. We want to expand our free social groups β€” especially those that make use of our gardens and shared spaces. Based on feedback from recent our programs and community drop-ins, we’ve put together a short list of ideas.

They include:
🐾 Dog Walking Group – Bring your furry friend and enjoy a friendly walk around the Homestead. Everyone (and every dog) is welcome!
🎨 Plein-Air Paint & Sketch Group – Grab your sketchbook, pencils, or paints and get creative in the Homestead gardens. A relaxing, inspiring setting for all skill levels.
🐦 Birdwatching Group – Bring your binoculars and the Birds of Hume Field Guide to spot our feathered friends in a casual, social setting.
🧡 Additional Sewing Group – Like our current sewing group, bring your project and enjoy a fun, social environment. All experience levels welcome!

If any of these sound like you β€” or if you have your own idea β€” we’d love to hear from you! If we receive enough interest, we hope to launch these groups in 2026.

In this 90-minute gathering, we'll slow down, breathe, and explore what mindful rest can look like during a busy season. Through guided mindfulness practices and simple rest techniques, we'll create a space for reflection and renewal in a supportive community of women.

This circle is perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by holiday preparations, craving connection with other women in the community, or simply needing permission to rest.

🌸 What to expect:
β€’ Mindful grounding and gentle breathwork
β€’ A welcoming space to share and be heard
β€’ Simple rest and relaxation practice
β€’ Connection with other women in your community
β€’ A guided reflection to support a calmer holiday season

πŸŽ’What to bring:
β€’ Comfortable clothing
β€’ A journal, water bottle, or anything that helps you feel at ease

The session will be facilitated by Cindy Ho from Rest without Guilt, and light refreshments will be provided.

βœ… All women are welcome! No mindfulness or meditation experience is needed. Just come as you are.

🌿🦜 Happy Wildlife Conservation Day! 🌿🦜

Today we celebrate the incredible wildlife that calls our community home β€” and the importance of protecting it for future generations.

The Homestead Community & Learning Centre is surrounded by beautiful gardens and trees, creating a haven for local wildlife. If you’ve visited us, you’ve probably seen Cockatoos, Rainbow Lorikeets, Rosellas, Red-rumped Parrots, Noisy Miners, Magpies and many more feathered friends perched in the treetops or swooping through the gardens!

🌱 Why it matters:
Our green spaces provide food, shelter, and nesting spots for native birds and other species. By caring for these spaces, we help conserve biodiversity right here in Hume City.

βœ… How you can help:
β€’ Plant native trees and shrubs
β€’ Avoid using harmful chemicals in your gardens
β€’ Provide fresh water for birds and wildlife

πŸ“ Drop into the Homestead and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature in our own backyard!
