Last Saturday of Every Month
$5 / person, includes sausage sizzle
A Reiki Share is a gathering of Reiki practitioners who congregate for a combination social/healing session. At our Reiki Share's we invite those that have never experienced Reiki to come along and be a part of a beautiful experience.
The primary purpose of having a "share" is for practitioners to participate in giving and receiving Reiki within an atmosphere of friendship and love. Participating in a share is also a beneficial way of honouring one another as healers and our connection to Mother Earth & the Universe.
A Reiki share consists of many healing hands on one person at a time. One person lays on a table while the participating practitioners gather around that person, laying their hands upon him/her facilitating a massive flow of Reiki energies. Group energies are often very strong and can be more penetrating than individual sessions. This type of Reiki treatment is a wonderful and often profound experience!

Sunday Dance Series
Experience the thrill of dancing EVERY SUNDAY! Get your kicks on the dance floor while you’re immersed in the music of a bygone era. Whether you’re a professional or serious dancer or merely looking for some great fun, you’ll be swept away by the music of Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin and Harold Arlen …to name just a few!
Art Deco Dance Orchestra is 16 fabulous musicians and a handful of exciting singers. Together, their authentic performances of quicksteps, foxtrots and waltzes capture ballroom dancing at its very best. But if Latin American, Swing and Rock’n'Roll are your favourites, you won’t miss out on cha-chas, tangos, boleros, lindy hops and charlestons.
So, come on down to the Bulimba Bowls Club (corner of Thynne Road and Quinn St, Bulimba) every Sunday at 4 til 8pm from April 28 and including May 5 12 19 26.
