Confidence and clarity are essential for clearing the path to a fulfilling life.

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.

 

Thanks!  to Transport and Marine Covers

  

At the Nelson Women's Centre, we are constantly amazed by the generosity of businesses and members of the Nelson community.

 

Christine Clark and her team at Transport and Marine Covers spent time making and donating to us, a shade sail to cover the new deck and building that was built by the students in the building programme at NMIT in 2016. 

 

The shade sail reduces the sauna effect from the sun in our new exterior counselling room.  It also ties the outdoor area together and provides shade from the intensity of the sun for lunchtime relaxing and sharing, for extended workshop space and for clients to relax and enjoy our outdoor space.

 

Thank you Christine for your generous community spirit and for your gift to the Nelson Women's Centre.

 

     Volunteers Needed! 

Please apply and contribute.

 

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.
