This workshop series is the result of Annie Maney and Lila Meleisea’s shared vision to create an exciting 8 week program of events, bringing together an incredible group of local creators passionate about working within their community. This is the first Expressive Arts Workshop Series. It’s designed to connect with a broad reach of locals and offer a creative platform to just ‘be’. Where your creativity and spirit is nurtured, you can be yourself, be brave, try new things and connect with others. Following are details of the opportunities on offer, and a chance to meet some of our collaborators. Be sure to tune in regularly for updates on our program.

Lila Meleisea
Founding Expressive Art is the outward expression of my own creativity, which has more often than not ended up weaving its way into community work – intended to support happiness, health, wellbeing, and sense of connection for people I connect with. I choose to take a stand for positive change in the world, and start here with my local community. I believe this venture, called Expressive Art, is really a co-creation between all who choose to be here – as fellow artists, educators, facilitators, participants, parents, partners, visitors, whoever! So, I am grateful for this opportunity to lead, learn from, and meet, more like minds, curious minds, and minds and bodies that need supporting. I’m happy to walk alongside you on a creative path shared.
Fermentation Workshop
Amaya Robertson
In a world where every second person is doing paleo, cutting out gluten or generally avoiding entire food groups, it seems the right diet advice can be hard to find. That’s where I can help. As a degree qualified and registered clinical nutritionist, I can provide individualised treatments that aim to support the body so that it can return to good health. This can be done through dietary modifications, nutraceutical supplements and lifestyle advice. I am passionate about food, cooking, gardening and love to share what I have learnt through my learning journey. Workshops are another way for me to share my passion where you can learn the art of fermentation, sourdough bread making and cooking with kids just to name a few. Please don’t hesitate to contact me to learn a bit more about what I do and how I may be able to help.
