The aim is to create a warm and welcoming space where everyone can enjoy music at their own pace. We will use simple percussion instruments and body percussion to explore rhythm, play together, and share the joy of making music. Percussion, in particular, allows us to feel joy in a very direct and physical way. I have been surrounded by music since I was born, and through my musical journey, there is one thing I feel deeply grateful for: the ability to experience the beauty of sound and music. Listening to sound and creating music can touch our emotions, like a language beyond words. Through sound, we can also feel natural connections and a sense of resonance with others.  These are truly beautiful experiences, and I would love to share them with you. I truly look forward to sharing these musical moments with you! Machi Ishida About Machi Ishida | Marimbist / Percussionist, based in Perth Australia https://www.machiishida.com

Open to public (registration essential!) The Blooming Collective is a series of monthly gatherings on various wellbeing topics. Each session offers thoughtful conversation, practical tools, and shared experiences designed to support living well at every stage of life. The tone is relaxed, friendly, and inclusive - more like a group conversation than a class or lecture.   While topics explore areas such as emotional health, ageing confidently, sleep, nutrition, creativity, and connection, the real focus is on enjoying meaningful discussions, learning from one another, and building community.   Talks will be held every month with guest speakers joining throughout the year. Come to one or come to many - you’ll take something valuable away each time.   October 2026: Move Your Way This workshop helps women claim movement on their own terms.
