Farewell Melbourne: Exciting New Directions for Sensorium

With a heavy heart I’d lie to announce that I’ve made the difficult decision to close Sensorium's outreach services and workshops in Melbourne. This marks a significant chapter's end, but it's also the beginning of a new journey as I relocate to Cairns!

While in-person services are paused, I’m excited to explore new and innovative ways to bring group programs to more people, especially via online platforms and beyond!
