Farewell Melbourne: Exciting New Directions for Sensorium
With a heavy heart I’d lie to announce that I’ve made the difficult decision to close Sensorium's outreach services and workshops in Melbourne. This marks a significant chapter's end, but it's also the beginning of a new journey as I relocate to Cairns!
While in-person services are paused, I’m excited to explore new and innovative ways to bring group programs to more people, especially via online platforms and beyond!
Stay tuned for updates on upcoming programs, and if you'd like to learn more about this transition, click the button below for further details.
