January February 2014

What a year!
What an exciting year we have had here at the Kirra Hill Community & Cultural Centre. The centre has been a hive of activity, starting off the year with the Bleach Festival and the Gold Coast Surf City Festival that showcased Kirra Hill and Kirra Point to over one hundred international guests from dozens of famous surfing locations to discuss the latest technology of the surfing industry and the flow on effects it has on the community. The beautiful spring weather was ushered in by The Spring Soiree, complete with a tree-planting ceremony by Councillor Chris Robbins to launch the Garden Club, animal presentations, fashion show, and string quartet, all generously hosted by The Friends of Kirra Hill. A variety of Not for Profit organisations, indigenous workshops, and a number of Community Services have also decided to get out of their offices and take advantage of the breath taking views and excellent facilities here to hold regular meetings, workshops and seminars. We never cease to be amazed by the diversity of bookings at Kirra Hill, which included several weddings Tai Chi, adult & childrens art classes, massage, cooking, yoga, drama, movie auditions, cultural friendship groups, religious services, kite making workshops, sporting and fitness activities, garden clubs, historical societies, Doga (Dog Yoga with Doctor Harry). And the list goes on. If you havent been up here yet please take the time and come and meet some of our friendly staff to discuss our flexible range of pricing options to hold your next work, community or family event

Adel Sainsbury Art Classes

Kirra Hill Art has now been at its beautiful location for nearly a year now and the external Art space is as perfect as ever with plenty of room, light & fresh air; plus soft ocean noises in the background, it doesnt get better than this as a location. I have been blessed that these Art groups consist of such lovely people who are supportive of each other whether artist or beginner they all enjoy creating and learning. We had fun while covering a number of media and techniques that included Acrylic Portraits, Watercolours, Abstract Painting, Transfer Drawings (in oil and watercolour) Still life with layering effects and more. Drawing composition, knowledge of colour and colour mixing are taught and its great to see students improving all the time.

September October 2013

Dont forget to come up to see the wonderful annual exhibition of student work in the Art Gallery from 9th 20th December. The gallery is open Monday Friday from 10am to 4pm.

I must also say a big THANK YOU to all the Kirra Hill Community staff who run the community centre and keep it so clean and well maintained.

Yoga a Different Approach

Did you know that there are many different styles of yoga? Have you tried Yoga only to be intimidated by the apparent flexibility, competence and/or youth of the other students? Do you consider Yoga to be only for the young and fit? Yoga is about unity of body mind and spirit. Evelyn teaches Yoga that fits the modern person, whatever their age, body shape or level of fitness. While she teaches the physical postures, Evelyn gently encourages each student to become the best they can be, weaving in yogic philosophy to feed the mind. She aims to facilitate the student to grow in body, mind and soul. Gita is a contemporary style of Hatha Yoga which Evelyn has been practising for more than thirty years. In February 2014, Evelyn is conducting Foundation classes for those who wish to explore more than the physical aspects of yoga. The focus is on the endocrine gland system to optimise health. Classes conclude with quiet relaxation. Evelyn is a registered teacher with Yoga Australia.
