Breathe With Birrarung

A Nature-based Mindfulness, Creative Arts and Ecotherapy Workshop in Herring Island in collaboration with Stonnington Council and RiverFest

A RiverFest Event with Marion Miller

Join mindfulness teacher, coach, and eco-therapist Marion Miller for a special RiverFest session exploring our deep interconnection with nature and the Birrarung (Yarra River).

Blending nature-based mindfulness with compassion science, this free workshop offers practical and creative ways to cultivate presence, care, and wise action. Together, we’ll reflect on how nurturing our own well-being inspires a shared purpose in caring for our local lands, waters, and community.

Sharing Circle: A safe space to explore our personal and collective care for nature.
Creative Exploration: Expressing our connection and heartfelt love for the river.
Connection Ritual: Reflecting on the past, present, and future role of the Birrarung.
Mindful Nature Walk: Integrating practice with a gentle, immersive stroll along the riverbank.

"I really liked that Marion brought together a group of strangers into a safe circle space where we were enabled to share deep concerns about the environment - the way she introduced and spoke about the River - that you were very clear about the groundrules and expectations of the group." - Janet Bolitho
