Join us this June for our Annual Fundraiser!

A cosy afternoon of meditation, restorative movement and live performance with the Collective Being team and special guest Aarti Jadu.  

This year, we are celebrating our seventh birthday as an organisation. It’s been no mean feat to survive as a small non-profit through the challenges of the pandemic and a changing funding landscape, and we are incredibly proud of our collective resilience, endurance, and drive to dismantle barriers to wellbeing, regardless of the obstacles along the way.  

In celebration of all that we have achieved so far, and with the vision of continuing to grow and contribute to community wellbeing, our Annual Fundraiser will share:  

  • Welcome meditation 

  • Storytelling and conversation with the CB team 

  • 60-minute guided restorative movement practice 

  • Chai break with time to chat to our team, purchase merchandise, and learn about other ways to support Collective Being 

  • 60-minute live performance and soundscape by Aarti Jadu 

  • Closing meditation and thank you  

We have so much to celebrate this year, and our team would absolutely LOVE for you to join us. Come along, and to bring a friend (or three!) as we share an afternoon of storytelling, embodied practice and celebration together.

60-minute live performance and soundscape by Aarti Jadu 

This set revolves around the interchange between gentle digital processing / recordings, synthesizers and organic voice. It will be mainly improvised to best suit the time, setting and feel on the day. This will be one long progressive set of 50 minutes where Aarti will draw from various folk and classical styles forming revolving motifs oscillating between solo and choruses. Her music, played in various venues across Naarm, is often described as being “down-regulating” and “trance-like” in nature.
