• Come in to the WWHC and unwind with some low-pressure craft workshops this November!

    Join us every Thursday from 10-11 for the following:

    07/11 - Join us for a summer vision board collage workshop! Start to visualise your summer and set your warm weather intentions through a relaxed craft session.

    14/11 - Get your creativity going by creating a review for a favourite book or movie, or just a notable one you’ve seen recently (bonus points if you do “Lee” from our movie fundraiser)! Use the space to give your review a little illustration if you feel so inclined.

    21/11 - Come along and feel the holiday spirit! Join us for a chilled-out Christmas/holiday card (or general card) making workshop! Have fun and create some cards to send out to your whānau.

    28/11 - Get in touch with nature through a flower pressing workshop! Press wildflowers with us and get inspired to write a little description of the flower uses or the feeling it evokes in you.

    Feel free to come along to as many of the workshops as suits and either bring your own project or join the group for the session theme!

  • The main doors to the building will close at 5pm each night so we recommend you arrive about 4.45-4.55 to get in. If you find yourself stuck outside, please call 022 323 5008

    Wednesdays 5-7pm - bookings are essential.

    We offer free interactive wellbeing workshops and discuss a different topic each week:

    17th April - Understanding Stress and Anxiety

    24th April - Effective Communication - Active Listening

    1st May - Effective Communication - Safe Sharing

    8th May - Self-care

    15th May - Strategies for Change

    22nd May - Setting Boundaries

    Our two skilled facilitators provide a bit of insight into the topic, before the group discuss and share their experiences and strategies. Previous attendees say that it was a “good space to meet and feel comfortable to share experiences” and it was a “good balance between sharing and facilitators passing on info”.

    So come and learn and connect with other women in a safe and supportive space.

    Bookings essential. If you or any woman you know would be interested in attending these sessions click the enquiry button above or send an email to supportteam@wwhc.org.nz.

    We want these sessions to be as useful as possible, so if you have any suggestions for other topics do let us know.

  • Come and join us to craft, sew and thread wellbeing in a supportive, welcoming, open space. Following the arpilleras tradition from Latin America, we will be working creatively with fabrics while stitching our wellbeing and sense of community. Arpilleras emerged in Latin America as a way for women to craft, grow and support each other in challenging times. In our workshops we will build on this kaupapa while making it relevant to our current context.

    Bookings are essential. All women welcome. No experience needed.

    All materials provided, but feel free to bring any materials you love.

    The workshop will run for 8 weeks on Fridays 10-11.30, starting on Friday 5 April at the Wellington Women’s Health Collective office (Level 5/175 Victoria Street).

    Libby teaches in a trauma-informed and supportive atmosphere, recognizing that everyone who comes to class brings with them their own story, knowledge and lived experiences. This eight-week women’s self-defence program is designed for every body shape and fitness level, focusing on building strength and confidence in a non-judgmental space. The curriculum is designed to start simple, and once students have gained confidence in their skills, strength and trusting their instincts, gradually learn more complex techniques. For this reason, we recommend that you take all 8 classes, but casual classes are an option. In completing this course you will gain a variety of effective strikes, skills in sensing and preventing danger, and defence techniques you could use in a variety of real life situations.

    Bookings are essential. To book please use the enquiry button above or email directly to supportteam@wwhc.org.nz
