Cafe Connect initiative, run by Wollondilly Shire Council, provides a monthly event for seniors, promoting a safe and healthy lifestyle. I enjoyed dropping by the Making Music Drumming Workshop on May 23rd 2024. It was led by Patrick Nellestein from River Road Creative Academy at the Shire Hall in Picton, and was a resounding success. The joy and enthusiasm in the room were truly infectious, as participants came together to play instruments and jam as a collective. The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter, learning, and the rhythmic beats of drums and singing echoing through the hall. As a certified music therapist, Pat expertly guided participants through music-making techniques to enhance health and well-being in an enjoyable and supportive setting. Previous Cafe Connect sessions included Coffee with a Cop and Seniors Rights and Seniors Legal Information. There are events planned up to December this year and I encourage all seniors to participate in these welcoming and uplifting events.
