Teapot Ministries: Where Women Stitch Together Community, Compassion, and Quilts for Crisis 

Across New South Wales, there are women’s retreats where tired women arrive on Friday nights and leave Sunday with smiles, where 1950s featherweight sewing machines work alongside modern digital models, and where every quilt made carries a label: "Made with love." 

Ending the epidemic of isolation through intentional community connection

“We are made for relationships, we are made for connection,” says psychologist, Collett Smart. “Being social is so much a part of what feeds our wellbeing. And when we don’t have connection, we end up lonely.”

In this Helping Hands panel discussion, Collett is joined by mental health author and speaker, Graeme Cowan, and Hannah Gair, founder of StrongerHERside podcast, to explore the importance of intentional community connection.
