International #MuslimWomensDay, 27-03-19  

 

A day for elevating the narratives of Muslim women, by sharing Muslim women’s stories. 

 

Picture creator Al-Khatahtbeh says: "Muslim Women's Day is a call to action to center Muslim women's voices for the day, to empower us, to flood the Internet with new, diverse, positive stories and Muslim women's voices, and basically just pass the mic."

A huge thanks to Annie Riley from The Reed Smith for taking the Make Your Own Posie workshop yesterday (26th March).

4 Steps To A Confident Self 
Tues, 4.30-6pm, 12 March, 9 April, 14 May
with Coaches:  Beate Baden and Dorothee Hay 


Confidence and clarity are essential for clearing the path to a fulfilling life. Discover your power to create positive change in yourself to overcome obstacles, which are holding you back from reaching your true potential and creating the life you desire. You are in control of your future path.

 

The four sessions are designed to support you on your personal journey towards a more confident self on a physical, mental and emotional level so that you can become the best version of yourself and lead a fulfilled life. The sessions are partly inter-active and include practical exercises. We hope to inspire you and provide helpful tools for a transformative growth experience.

 

The course is over the next 3 months and will be held at the Nelson Women's Centre.
Limited to only 8 participants per session!
Course cost is $15.
Please contact the Nelson Women’s Centre on 03 546 7986 to enrol/register.

The Centre needs more volunteers to help it in its many functions.

We are looking for two types of volunteer.


Those that we can call on for one-off working bees, particular projects and events.

We also require ongoing volunteers who can commit to 4-5 hours on one day per week.  These volunteers would help support the day to day running of the Centre including coordinating our Volunteer staff.
