Mental & Physical Health
In the morning we will joined by Dr Matthew Currie, a psychologist who works with an organisation called Headspace. We will do a workshop about values and ethics and how people make the choices they make. This is a fantastic opportunity to investigate your own mind, what makes you you and learn about the reasons you act like you do. In the afternoon we'll get our blood pumping with either a fitness class or a lap of the Botannical Gardens. Bring comfy/sporty clothes and runners.

**1000 steps trail**
This trail is challenging both physically and mentally. We will travel to Upper Ferntree Gully where we will climb the famous "1000 steps" in the Dandenong Ranges.

Having reached the top, we will take a break to have lunch, play some sports and prepare for the descent.

For those of you who are physically quite fit, you should challenge yourself to push yourself during the ascent.

For those who find the thought of 1000 steps daunting, this could be the perfect way to challenge yourself physically.

In life, our greatest opponent is often ourselves.


 * Mind, Body & Spirit - Healthy Living in Melbourne **

Is health just about doing exercise and eating right?

Could it be more than just looking after our bodies?

On this trail we will be exploring Melbourne as a place where we can experience health and wellness in unexpected places - and at little or no cost.

It will be a day full of exchange, creativity, quiet moments and stepping out of our comfort zone and into the ridiculous!!
