Welcome
Wominjeka. Welcome. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also acknowledge our gratitude that we share this land, our sorrow for some of the costs of that sharing and our collective hope and belief that we can move to a place of equity, justice and partnership together.

Comfortable with all faiths/denominations and gender diversity. Collaborative and intergenerational. Friendly, and understanding, exploring spirituality and contemplation, evolving, and changing. Connected to and conversing with our community, offering marginalised people a place to feel safe. Grounded in Justice, thinking outside the square.

Hall Hirer & Community Events
Voices from the Edge – This Sunday!
We are going to be absolutely treated with some quality performances. The event will feature Fleassy Malay and The Blurred Lines as well as Saint Ergo (or known in our parts as Joana!). They’ll also be a dramatic piece performed by Miller from Fresh Theatre for Social Change and a young artist Wilbur will be exhibiting his artwork.
This powerful event moves marginalised voices to the centre for a brief time and we hope they will inspire ongoing conversations, connections and changes for all who participate.
We are really keen to offer these events as significant opportunities for our community to learn and love better!
To do that, we really need our community to embrace the event – and to promote it your friends and family. That means reaching out and inviting people, and also sharing the event on social media.
TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED HERE and are available for $20 with a flexi ‘pay what you can’ option as well.
The Haven: Repair Cafe Running every week!
You can pop in to Haven to grab a cuppa, sit and be, or participate in some of the craft activities that our wonderful crew supply (or bring a craft activity you are working on) and then hang around for a hearty lunch!
