New women’s centre classes

A new year of groups, workshops, classes and courses is getting underway at the Women’s Centre Rodney in Warkworth from this week onwards.

A wide range of skill sets and social activities are on offer, from personal development and careers advice to website design and artistic expression, many of which are free of charge. A young mums’ group launched last year is back for 2019, aimed specifically at providing support and parenting strategies for mothers under 24, and there is a new personal development group which aims to empower women and nurture mindfulness and inner growth. The free legal advice clinic that was started last year is also continuing.

There is also a series of Lunchtime Lectures that cover a range of diverse topics, from fermented foods and myofacial release therapy to simple plasterboard patching and repair. There are also flax weaving, clay and painting workshops, plus Wahine Toa, a group connecting Maori women.

Womens Centre Rodney is at 10 Morpeth Street in Warkworth and is open between 9.30am and 2.30pm from Monday to Friday.

More information and registration for all of these activities can be found at womenscentrerodney.org.nz or by phoning 425 7261 or 0800 237674.
