Come along to a session that creates deep relaxation for the mind and body, and is a gentle wellness experience that is open for all.

Created for people who seek a meditative or calming state. In our modern culture, we may find it difficult to practice meditation or to carve out the time to pause. By stepping into a deep experience of music-sound, we can restore from our busy lifestyles, everyday stresses and open space to be more in the moment.

Men's sheds are a uniquely Australian solution to promoting men's mental and physical health. Benefits of involvement include gaining confidence, less social isolation, mateship and an opportunity to share stories and information. Join the Kings Meadows Community Men's Shed for two days at our Launceston wellness hub and see the incredible woodwork that has been created through this very important initiative.

In the lead up to the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, Kai Sakakibara was one of the top BMX racers in the world. He then suffered a traumatic brain injury in an accident during the final stages of qualifying before being able to realise his Olympic dream.

He was the first to celebrate his sister Saya winning Gold for Australia at Paris 2024 in the sport that nearly took his life.

Join Kai as he shares his story at St Lukes Hobart.

You are invited to an immersive sound experience created for deep relaxation. Facilitated by Lila Meleisea, accomplished musician who weaves African harp, Tibetan bowls and percussion into a live soundscape taking you on a deep listening journey.

This is an opportunity for you to completely relax your mind, body and soul through meditation, contemplation, or simply by just enjoying the sounds. 

Join Petrarch's Bookshop at our Launceston wellness hub as they launch Everyone this Christmas has a Secret by Benjamin Stevenson, in-conversation with Petrarch’s Bookseller, Andy.

Unwrap all the Christmas staples: presents, family, an impossible murder or two, and a deadly advent calendar of clues.

"My name’s Ernest Cunningham. I used to be a fan of reading Golden Age murder mysteries, until I found myself with a haphazard career getting stuck in the middle of real-life ones. I’d hoped, this Christmas, that any self-respecting murderer would kick their feet up and take it easy over the holidays. I was wrong..."

Ticket provides general admission and drink on arrival. Book sales available at the event.
