Feel Good October is presented to you by the Kind to the Mind project, a community initiative to create awareness about mental health and opportunities for connection though well-being activities in our community. Kind to the Mind is supported by Neighbourhood Node’s Minor Works Program.

This festival takes place on the Traditional lands of the Kaurna People. Sovereignty of this land was never ceded.
We pay our respects to Elders, past and present. We acknowledge that this always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
