The final day of the gathering was all about wellbeing. Vegetarian food was provided by Feed My City and all ages were entertained by a dance and singing performance and invited to join in.

Pet therapy offered the chance to stroke and engage with different animals to improve wellbeing. All kinds of pets were at the event and ready to meet: chickens, giant snails, rats and bearded dragons. The children were very gentle with the pets and it was wonderful to see them engage with different animals, some for the first time.

For those who needed some time to chill there was also a massage chair as well as hand massage offered for free. The community also had an opportunity to do some gardening and grow their own basil plants as well as to get creative and paint their own gift boxes. The event was a wonderful way to celebrate the life of the community in all its richness and to try new things.
