connection through recreation

(Mobile devices can access the menu by tapping the horizontal line to the left of the heading)
Run by women, for women. At the shed we believe that recreation leads to connection - join us if you want to :
  • Make  friends
  • Have fun
  • Try new things
  • Share your knowledge 
  • Make time for yourself away from home and work. 

Recreation is anything you do with your leisure time - crafts, book clubs, resistance training. Recreation is an important component of mental and physical health, which often gets neglected in our busy lives.

Some women cannot commit to weekly activities and so we run a variety of activities on a monthly or fortnightly basis. We vary times and try to offer options on weekends, daytimes and evenings.

Our activities are either 'Meetups', 'Workshops' or 'Classes':
  • Workshops are designed to teach you a specific skill, all info and materials are supplied.
  • Meetups are times when you can get together with other members without a taught element - e.g. social outings, studio time 
  • Classes are regular activities that are led by paid teachers - for example yoga or resistance training. 

We aim to keep participation costs low so that people can attend regularly.  Friendships are created when time x common interests x repeated.
​
We welcome all women and are creating a diverse community of women of varying  life stages and experiences.

About the Coolum Women's Shed

The Coolum Women's Shed was established in 2018. We aim to enhance the health and wellbeing of women of the Sunshine Coast by providing the opportunity to participate in a range of activities including DIY, yoga, arts, crafts and other areas that may be of interest to our members.
