The purpose of the Great Southern Bioblitz is to highlight the immense biodiversity spread across the Southern Hemisphere in the flourishing springtime. Also, to engage the public in science and nature learning, using the citizen science platform iNaturalist.
To participate in the event you will need to download the iNaturalist app on your device.
Mind Calm will be facilitated by group therapists and is suitable for those who are new to meditation and people who wish to explore or extend their current practice.
This event has a series of four sessions.
