Connected Caregivers

Mount Nathan
A relaxed community event designed for caregivers to connect, unwind and enjoy a creative self-care experience in a peaceful riverside setting.

We're opening Rivermill for a morning built around the people who spend their working lives looking after others – nannies, educators, early childhood teachers, family daycare carers, and the caregivers who hold it all together.

It's hosted in partnership with Connected Caregivers, a Gold Coast and Brisbane community for the people in this profession.

The heart of the morning is a guided creative workshop with Karen Lang – author, counsellor and art therapist – whose gentle approach makes space for reflection and connection through creativity. No artistic experience needed.

What the morning looks like:

  • A guided creative workshop with Karen Lang
  • Connection activities hosted by Roxy and Emily
  • Rivermill's scones with jam and cream
  • Tea, served in the riverside pavilion
  • Animal encounters around the grounds
  • Optional add-on: a horse riding experience

Join us for a peaceful morning of creativity and connection. Create freely. Because caregivers deserve a moment to be cared for too.
