Community wellbeing

Creative events and programs that bring communities together

Soft Circle community programs use creative and arts-based practices to strengthen connection — between families, to nature, and across the communities we live in.
We partner with local councils, neighbourhood groups and community organisations across the Illawarra and South Coast to create welcoming spaces where people of all ages can gather, make and connect.
