Chill Out with Collective Being
Collective Being is setting up a low-sensory chill out space at the BLOCK PARTEE.
This space is open all day for anyone to take some time. In the space there will be stim/resourcing items, places to lie down and rest, pre-recorded guided meditations and two facilitated sessions for co-regulation.
Session 1: 3:30PM, for mindfulness
Session 2: 4:30PM, for gentle movement
Guided by Collective Being practitioner Irene (she/her)
About the session:
At 3:30pm, Irene will facilitate a mindfulness session, and at 4:30pm a movement session. You are welcome to join for one or both sessions. Irene will provide options and modifications throughout to explore moving in alignment with your own body and needs. Collective Being facilitators are trauma-informed and mental health aware. Movements will be gentle and accessible; you don’t need any prior experience.
Collective Being is a not-for-profit organisation founded on the principles of trauma-informed care and mindfulness that delivers high-quality and impactful body-based programs from mental health across the Kulin nation.

We’re celebrating legacies of stories, creative expression, cultures and art for MAV’s BLOCK PARTEE! Bringing together world-class artists, collectives, and creators for an unforgettable day of music, art and connection. See the full program here.
Through our program RETROSPECTION, we’ve been reflecting on the last 50 years of MAV and the rich archive of stories told by multicultural communities across the continent through the decades. To mark this milestone and MAV’s new headquarters at Melbourne Polytechnic Preston, we've taken over a drab carpark to decorate it with a BLOCK PARTEE— our joyful celebration of connection and expression.
MAV’s BLOCK PARTEE is supported by City of Darebin, Creative Victoria, Creative Australia, Melbourne Polytechnic, Victoria Government and VicHealth’s Future Reset Program.
