About this Event

Event Description:

Welcome to Choose Your Own Adventure Fridays—a low-demand, high-impact social group where you can show up exactly as you are. Born from a therapeutic group so meaningful that participants refused to let it end, this weekly gathering has become a cornerstone for routine, social connection, and something to look forward to at the end of the week. After convincing me (against all odds) that keeping it alive as a social group was a great idea, we’re here—and you’re invited.


What to Expect:

This space is intentionally relaxed and low-demand. Bring whatever feels good for you to do in a group setting:

  • Work on your assignments
  • Journal
  • Craft
  • Play on your Switch
  • Simply sit and enjoy the vibes

The only ask? Keep it minimally disruptive for others sensorily.


For those wanting a bit more structure, I’m forming a group to create a side hustle/micro business from scratch—together. It sounds huge, but hear me out. We’ll brainstorm everything:

  • A name and brand
  • How to fund it
  • What the product/service is
  • Where to sell it and how

We’ll build it step by step, leaning into each other’s knowledge and skills to create something we’re all proud of. If you already have a product or service and need help navigating the micro business side of things, come along and learn with us!


What to Bring:

  • Your own supplies (crafts, journalling, assignments, etc.)
  • Lunch/snacks and anything else you think you’ll need to be comfortable


Important Notes:

This group is free, but I want to be transparent that running it comes at a significant cost. If you have the means to support this space—whether by donating, sponsoring a Friday as a business (we'll shout your name and support from the rooftops!), sharing a skill in a workshop, or through NDIS funding if this aligns with your goals—I’d love to chat about ways to keep this sustainable.


As this is a voluntary service I’m running, I’d really appreciate it if folks bring their support workers, parents, or carers if they require tailored support or co-regulation. Having said that, I’m always open to making the space as accessible and accommodating as possible.


Supervision Reminder:

Anyone under the age of 12—whether socially, developmentally, or chronically—must be supervised by a responsible (ish) adult at all times.


When: Fridays, weekly

Where: The Housing Hub Group Room (social story provided after booking)

Cost: Free (donations or funding options welcome)


Come as you are. Do what you need. Let’s make Fridays the day you look forward to the most.


P.S. If you’d like to discuss donations, sponsorship, invoicing via NDIS, or accessibility needs, feel free to get in touch! My email address is [email protected] or you can message me on social media if that's more accessible :)
