Open Mind Fiesta 2010!

Sunday October 17, 2010
11am - 5pm
Station Street, Fairfield

Open Mind Fiesta 2009 drew a crowd of 40,000 people to Fairfield’s Station Street. 2010's fun filled event is expected to top that.

The theme of this year's Mental Health Week is that when mental illness affects one family member, it affects us all.

So, what better way to cap off the week than with an event that brings the whole family together to celebrate social inclusion for people with a mental illness and their families?

  • "Mental Mural" - providing hands on participation in painting and production of an acrylic mural.
  • "Relaxation Retreat" - pleasures of different kinds including massage and reflexology, emphasising the need for self care.
  • "Physical wellbeing" – active involvement, exercise, games encouraging people to ‘come and try’, and have fun.
  • "MI Fellowship information" – find out all about what we do and the programs we run.
  • "Making connections" – Carer Quilting Marquee, offering participation in the production of a carers quilt.

"ARIA award winning artist, Kavisha Mazzella, delivers another album, featuring her exemplary songwriting and singing skills. Her songs marry the rich folk music traditions of her Italian parentage, with an ability to articulate the contemporary everyday. This album produced by Chilean guitarist Nano Stern, has a sweet musicality that enhances Kavisha’s sweet,marvelous voice."Paul Barr Readings Books and Music

Love & Sorrow Kavisha Mazzella Black Market Music

**** (four stars)

 

"Subtle multi-instrumental colouring from producer, Nano Stern allied to an exemplary sound engineering and mixing job by Harry Williamson, has helped convert a batch of characteristically well-crafted songs into Mazzella’s magnum opus. Love & Sorrow certainly has an epic sweep"  **** Tony Hillier     The Weekend Australian
