Meet and buy for local growers and sellers.

The Yarra Valley Living Centre will be hosting an open day event called Peace in the Valley on 30 April, and it promises to be a day filled with talks, stalls, forest activities, live music, meditation, and delicious vegan food.

The event aims to promote peace and mindfulness, and to raise awareness about the importance of living a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. There will be a variety of talks and workshops throughout the day, covering topics such as meditation, yoga, sustainable living, and mindfulness. It will close with a Peace Concert.

In addition to the talks and workshops, there will also be a number of stalls showcasing local businesses and organisations that promote sustainability and healthy living.

Visitors will be entertained with eco-activities for the kids, forest therapy with local expert Catherine Marty, Yogic Farming and Wayappa with Tamasin Ramsay, meditation sessions, drumming circles and more.

Live music will also be a highlight of the day, with local musicians closing the day with a special Peace Concert on the lawn from 2-4pm featuring an amazing surprise guest jazz artist.

The food on offer will include a range of vegan options, from delicious salads to hot dishes, coffees and cakes. Find a Penny will cater and donate 100 per cent of all their proceeds to Victorian people living without homes.

Doctors for Nutrition will be there to share from their deep and vast research on what is now called Lifestyle Medicine – including revelations on how serious illnesses can be turned around through nutrition.

And this year we will have the presence of the wonderful founder of this centre, Dr Ian Gawler. Ian, a great friend, will kick off at 10.30am our educational and inspirational talks series.
