Greenhouse Gathering (In-person & Online) - With guest Valerie Ling
Come along to Greenhouse Gatherings to hear from interesting speakers and be supported by our group of Christian women.
Greenhouse Gatherings
Meeting each month, Greenhouse Gatherings are the place where Christian women can gather together, meet each other and connect with new people. Each month a speaker presents on a topic of broad interest and applicability, and there’s a chance to chat and enjoy each other’s company. Sometimes online, sometimes in person, but always warm and welcoming.
Our August gathering will be a hybrid event - you can resgiter to attend in-person at our Sydney CBD office or online via Zoom. For those online, a Zoom link will be emailed to you when you register.
August Guest Speaker: Valerie Ling on 'Pandemic Fatigue'
August 29, 7 - 8.30pm
Feeling tired all the time? You’re not alone. Many of the Christian women we’ve been talking to have expressed feelings of tiredness and exhaustion as they manage many responsibilities. And then on top of that comes 'pandemic fatigue'. How can we make sure we are getting the rest we need?
Come along to our first ever Greenhouse Gathering, where clinical psychologist and burnout expert Valerie Ling will be sharing some practical tips and encouragement for how to manage your health and mental health during this ongoing season of fatigue and stress.
You’ll also have a chance to connect with other Christian women, enjoy some delicious food, and hear more about what The Greenhouse has to offer to women in different industries, workplaces, churches and stages of life. We’d love to have you join us!
Can’t make it in person? Join us online! We’d love you to share in the experience.
