Through storytelling, gentle movement, imagination and wonder, children will explore how families once spent long summer days at the coast – collecting treasures and making memories the old-fashioned way – and how those experiences still shape our love of summer in Wanneroo.
Perfect for young children and their carers, these sessions celebrate low-tech fun, creativity and intergenerational storytelling, with a magical seaside twist.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The HeART & Soul art project began as a simple distraction activity created to support people through the Christmas period, a sometimes difficult and isolating time of year. The obvious benefits of meeting in a safe friendly supportive positive and encouraging space to create art, led to the program becoming ongoing and a new focus of Richmind’s recovery approach and brand.
