9am-12pm Men’s Shed (at Show Grounds) – free
The Camperdown Men’s Shed aims to provide a safe, friendly and healing environment. Members are able to work on meaningful projects at their own pace, in their own time and in the company of others. A key focus is to advance the wellbeing and health of members and to encourage social inclusion.
Men’s Sheds are a place of encouragement for all to take an interest in their own health and wellbeing. Good health is also based on many factors and becoming a member of a Men’s Shed gives a person that safe and busy environment where many of these things can be found in an atmosphere of old-fashioned mateship. And, importantly, there is no pressure.
You can just come and have a yarn and a cuppa if that is all you’re looking for.
Members of Men’s Sheds come from all walks of life – the bond that unites them is that they are people with time on their hands and they would like to do something meaningful with that time.
Why not come and check out Camperdown Men’s Shed? We look forward to welcoming you.
The Camperdown Men’s Shed is open 9am-12pm every Tuesday and Thursday.
7-8pm Meditation Group – free – please register by calling 5593 1403 by 4.30pm on Tuesday 20 February
“Come and experience a variety of meditation styles, including guided imagery and mindfulness, meditation is something you practice, not master. The benefits are far-reaching, from increased concentration to stress reduction, improved sleep and a greater capacity to tolerate change, meditation can be a helpful aid to these modern times. It is a gentle practice requiring nothing but your time. There is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” meditation. It is a skill acquired through experience and practice, much like tennis or playing a musical instrument. However, it is also a skill of the mind.” – Tina Gartland
Meditation group meets 7-8pm every Tuesday during school terms.
