The annual Women’s forum is always a highlight on the Heretaunga Women’s Centre calendar and this year is no exception.
Our keynote speaker is Dr Libby Smales. Dr Smales, a former hospice doctor and spokesperson for Yes for Compassion will be talking about bullying and how it relates to personal isolation and loneliness.
Libby replaces Prof Merryn Gott who due to Covid level restrictions cannot now attend.
Following Libby’s most interesting korero, we hope to have a dance performance.
Due to a family emergency well known playwright, performer, choreographer, dance educator and director of Wellington’s Crows Feet Dance Collective, Jan Bolwell is unable to attend.
We now have Eliza Gibbons . Eliza is an emerging arts therapist who will be presenting a short talk on her research project for her Masters that was completed in isolation. Then, through a short dance performance she will provide an experience of how the ‘eternal pulse of the arts’ can heal and transform our collective experience of isolation.
