"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." (Henry Ford) Moving from beginning -> progress -> success takes hardwork and heartwork, especially to work out the differences within the community, no matter how little progress we make. What holds a community together, and what contributes to a thriving one? Join us for #ProjectYOU on 9 June as we explore more about the power of community in supporting us in overcoming the fear of failure.

Can we truly get over the fear of failure? Join us for the evening of 9 June as we deep dive into the intricacies of the fear of failure, and share about how we can possibly overcome it.

“Pigs are unable to lift their heads, so they live their entire life staring at the ground. There is only one way for a pig to look up at the sky. It's to fall down. Falling down is a way for you to see another world. A world you have never seen before. Both for pigs and people." (From The Good Bad Mother) Perhaps falling down sometimes is necessary, to see the world from another perspective. It gives us the opportunity to rise again, and realise that failure and successes go hand-in-hand. Only when we learn to humbly fall, will we know what is truly important: people who choose to stick by at your worst. Join us for #ProjectYOU this year, where you will get to hear heartfelt stories and lessons learnt from our guest speakers, Jason & Joanne.
