The Notion of LanguageChristopher Hardwick graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Honours (11A) in 2015 from the Queensland College of Art. He graduated with a major in jewellery and small objects with a specialisation in art history/art theory. His research focused on the what/how/why/when of art as a visual language. What is art? What is it for? What about a novel or a non-fiction work?
Why do we like what we read or see? In the 21st Century, is art and literature, relevant? This discussion will seek to present an answer to some of these questions by exploring the notion of language. Bookings essential

Discover KinesiologyChristine holds a Diploma in Kinesiology and is a Member of the Australian Kinesiology Association. Kinesiology melds ancient eastern energetic healing arts with western physiological healing sciences to address a wide range of physical, emotional, mental, nutritional and spiritual issues.
Kinesiology is an amazing health modality because it gets right to the core of issues that negatively impact our lives in any area such as health, relationships, finances and personal growth. Through muscle monitoring a kinesiologist is able to reach beyond what we consciously
know about ourselves and access our innate awareness, which holds all memories and information about us. Bookings essential

Akiki Wellness CircleWould you like to feel more nourished and supported? There is a deep instinctual desire in the collective consciousness for women to gather. You may be feeling that you’ve lost your identity, that life is slipping you by, maybe there’s a sense of unfulfillment, that no-one ever listens to you or possibly even anxiety or depression. I offer opportunities for you to honour YOU, to feel connected, to
strengthen your inner resolve and to find new motivation simply by joining other heart-centred, non-judgemental women in a nurturing container of happiness.
Award winning Tina Kirkham Smith of Akiki Wellbeing is excited to be holding space for women during Adult Learners Week. Bookings essential
