The theme for 2020 PAVE is Envision Imagine Imagine future possibilities. What we see, hear and feel can shape our sense of self, our future, our community and the world around us. This year at PAVE we ask you to see the beauty in life. Natural environment. People. Art. Simple things as well as complex. Conceive ideas. Picture opportunities.

Enjoy the colour and form that visual artists present. Explore the artists’ intention and form your own impression of what was meant by the artwork. Experience what the art means to you. Take in the beauty, be challenged, allow yourself to change or form an opinion about how creative work relates to current affairs, history, progress and the future.

Music, lyrics, drama and spoken word provide clarity and perspective just as visual art does. It may not be what we see but what we hear that gives us the vision to help form opinions or make decisions. Listen deeply, watch intently, feel the emotion.

Enjoy the rich and interesting program with plenty to surprise and delight.

Creative Minds MatterSaturday April 4th 2–5pm at Emerald Community House $30 adult / $15 concession (children are FREE)Our brains can at times be confusing. Are we a complex, chemical soup of substances, brain cells, electrical reactions and intoxicating hormones? Or are we also an imaginative melting pot of meaningful metaphors, colourful symbolism, amazing dreams and paradoxical emotions? All blended into different forms of courageous self-expression. Adventure into the internal human universe to explore the mysteries & matters of mind. Join the Emerald Psychology team for a fascinating forum, to educate us on understanding the importance of mental health. One of the founders of modern psychology, Carl Jung is quoted as saying…

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

When we seek to know ourselves better, we have a greater potential to achieve the results we are aiming for. This event features a panel of five local professionals, who are passionate about the importance of individual and community wellbeing. Each of our panel will present evidence-based insights into the workings of the brain. Our quest is to ignite your curiosity and begin a conversation about the normality of life struggles. Seating is limited, so book early to avoid disappointment. Price includes refreshments and there is a gated garden area on site available for children to play. Sponsored by Emerald Psychology.
