The Effective Living Centre’s Artist in Residence program returned in 2023 after a long hiatus with Bringing Life to Words. We were fortunate to have South Australian Poet Jude Aquilina running a series of inspiring writing workshops that catered for all ages and abilities. The Memoir writing workshop proved to be so popular that a second session also filled up.
