Thrive Wellness will take place on 25 May, from 9am to 11am, with families invited to participate in a variety of free wellness activities including yoga, craft, mindfulness sessions.

Angela Romanowski, Noosa Council’s community recovery and resilience officer was excited about the upcoming event.

“We’d love members of our community to explore all activities on offer at Thrive. We wanted to make sure there is something for everyone,” Ms Romanowski said.

“Our aim is to reach our community members through wellness activities, while they gain valuable knowledge on how to stay safe and resilient during challenging situations,” Ms Romanowski added.

Thrive Wellness offers the following classes on the day: Kids Yoga, Storytime and Craft, Mindfulness for Families, and Get Ready! Disaster Resilience, supported by Noosa Council.

The Get Ready! talk, led by Ian Williams, council’s disaster disruption and resilience officer, is an invaluable interactive session on preventing, preparing for, and responding to natural disasters in our community.

The session provides guidance, resources, kids activities, and examples of emergency kits to build a stronger community spirit and enhance self-reliance in the face of disasters.
