There is a great deal happening within our community right now, and many of the conversations emerging from this moment reflect deeper struggles that can no longer be ignored. We also recognise that not every voice shaping these discussions has our collective wellbeing at heart.

At DTA, we believe in action over noise. Rather than simply reacting, we remain committed to creating spaces where our community can reflect, heal, organise and define its own future on its own terms.

We are pleased to welcome psychotherapist Brian Adderley, who will guide a powerful exploration of wholeness, wellbeing and community healing, embracing both the masculine and feminine dimensions of what makes us human.

Join us on 12 September, 2026 in person, for our next session.

This is a space for honest dialogue, collective reflection and meaningful action.

Places are limited and registration is required.
