Chinta ran crochet classes in our Shala last year and would like to share again.....
Highly recommend.....what better way to spend time? Crocheting, creating, connecting......

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST | Beginner Crochet Classes ✨
Hello everyone,
For those who don't know me, my name is Chinta, and I'm a fibre artist, crochet designer and educator.🧶

I've been crocheting for over 20 years and, for the past six years, I've had the privilege of teaching crochet workshops throughout Australia and overseas. I'm also a qualified designer and pattern maker, with patterns published by companies here in Australia and internationally.

There's something special about slowing down, taking time to create with your own two hands and giving yourself permission to simply make. (This is one of the things I love most about crochet.)

I'd love to offer beginner crochet classes locally again, and this is an invitation to see what the community would enjoy and what people are looking for.

I'm currently considering two class options:

🧶 4 Week Beginner Crochet Workshop
One 4-hour class each week for four weeks.

Designed for complete beginners, we'll cover all of the crochet fundamentals while building confidence, learning how to read crochet patterns and creating beautiful handmade projects together.

Everything is included. You'll receive a beginner's kit, workbook and all the tools and materials you'll need throughout the course, so you can simply turn up and enjoy learning.

🧶 One-Off Granny Square Workshop
A relaxed 4-hour workshop where you'll learn to crochet the classic granny square from start to finish.

Perfect if you'd like to try crochet without committing to a full course.

Your crochet hook, yarn, workbook and all class materials are included, so you can simply come along and enjoy a few hours of making.

I'm currently considering both weekday evening and weekend daytime sessions.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, or if there's another crochet class you'd love to see offered, I'd genuinely love to hear from you in the comments below. Your feedback will help shape these workshops and give me a better understanding of what our community is looking for.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

With love,
xo Chinta

Join Kirsty from Gather & Ground With Kirsty White in our Shala 🩵

Over five weeks, I will be holding a series of guided journeys.

Each week, you will be invited to step beyond the everyday world and into a symbolic landscape where messages, wisdom, insights, and experiences may unfold in unexpected ways.

No two journeys will be the same.
Some may lead you into places of reflection.
Some may offer guidance.
Some may invite healing, release, remembrance, or a deeper connection with yourself.

Guided journeying is not about finding the "right" answer.
It is about creating space to listen, observe, and discover what is ready to reveal itself to you.

Each journey is a complete experience and can be attended as a standalone session.
You are welcome to join one, several, or all five.

Following each journey, there will be an opportunity to reflect on your experience and explore the symbolism, messages, and themes that may have emerged, helping you connect the pieces of your journey in a meaningful way.

Price : Full 5-Week Journey Series: $100 (save $25)
Individual Journey Sessions: $25 per week

Venue: Clarence Natural Therapies
(above the Indian Cottage)

Day : Wednesday's (starting 1st of July)

Time: 6.30 am

💛 Limited places available, book via DM 💛

🌿 **8-Week Baduanjin Qigong Course – Starting August 7th** 🌿

Pregnancy can be a beautiful journey, but it can also bring increased stress, anxiety, and physical changes that impact both mother and baby.

Research has shown that **Qigong**, a gentle traditional Chinese mind-body practice, may help support both physical and emotional wellbeing during pregnancy. Studies investigating Qigong in pregnant women found improvements in:

✨ Anxiety and stress levels
✨ Exercise confidence and self-efficacy
✨ Overall mental and physical wellbeing
✨ Healthy blood pressure regulation

Baduanjin Qigong combines gentle movements, mindful breathing, and meditation to help calm the nervous system, improve body awareness, and create a greater sense of balance during pregnancy.

📅 **8-Week Course Starts August 7th**
🌿 Suitable for all experience levels
💚 Gentle, supportive, and pregnancy-friendly

Give yourself time each week to slow down, connect with your body, and nurture both yourself and your growing baby.
