Central Coast Council is holding an Open Day aimed at showing the community a number of creative possibilities across the Coast to help them manage stress and anxiety.

Experience, Explore, Be More will be held on Thursday 24 August and will see 22 different creative classes, activities or workshops held at 16 venues across the Coast – and it’s all FREE!

Council Administrator, Mr Ian Reynolds, said this is a great way to bring the community together and improve the quality of life on the Coast.

“Our centres offer a diverse range of possibilities to help our community, but many of our residents may not know they exist,” Mr Reynolds said.

“This Open Day will help the community to explore the Coast and experience new ways of managing their anxiety and stress and connecting with each other.”

One of the highlights will be an author talk by Belinda Ingels on her book: Ferocious for Joy. Belinda will take participants on a journey of the most joyous kind in this fun and powerful, hands on workshop at Tuggerah Library.

There is also a chance for young people to join the Escalators Band and write and record songs, a unique class to get women moving, and special classes aimed at seniors.

With 16 locations booked in and more than 20 different creative sessions, there’s bound to be something for everyone.
