Hey Olympic Village, THAT WAS AWESOME! πŸ€©πŸ‘πŸ₯³

Yesterday we laughed, cried (at the weather!), danced, perused lovely handmade goodies, jumped with the circus in the courts, cuddled a snake, ate delicious local food and bbq, face painted, henna’d, shared words, drew pictures, listened and read stories, played with toys, giant SES trucks!, plants, playdough, did yoga, shadow puppetted, drummed, sang, and more!

On Wurundjeri land we celebrated and explored the history and our connection to the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, our homes and village.

What a community we have. Thank you for humouring us and proving what we already knew, that heidy west and surrounds and the Olympic village are host to some of the most creative, passionate, talented baddass humans around πŸ’ͺ

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who came, all the market stalls who braved the weather, the performers and local groups and orgs who shared their impressive offerings with us.

If you would like to be involved in bringing more of this to the Olympic Village please join our group

Thanks for the $$ support

The raining is clearing! We’ve activated our wet weather plan anyway πŸ€“ So excited πŸ₯Ή

Have your kids ever tried yoga?! 🧘

At the Olympic Village Twilight Market parents and their children are invited to come join us inside the OLC for a short Family Yoga and Relaxation session. We will use our imaginations as we stretch, breathe and move together through simple yoga poses, followed by a guided relaxation.
The Family Yoga sessions will be led by Ting from Under the Sky Kids Yoga, a local service providing a variety of kids yoga programs, including kids yoga and family yoga classes, incursions at kindergartens and schools, and community events. Ting is a certified Kids Yoga Teacher and experienced playgroup facilitator. She is passionate about nurturing young bodies and minds, whilst supporting parents with strengthening family and community connections.

Thank you Ting!! It is community members like you who will make our day so special! .kidsyoga
