2025 Hair Aid Gong Scape Sound therapy Fundraiser event - Has Ended

Hi. I'm Bron and I love to volunteer my time and skills and do one project a year with Hair Aid. In 2025 this will be my 6th Project. I'm a solo mum of 3 and have run my own Hairdressing business in Bulimba for 21years now.

Once a month I volunteer with my Hair Aid team at Wynnum doing free community haircuts for those that need a helping hand. It's amazing how good a fresh haircut and a friendly chat can make you feel.

Hair Aid Inc. is an Australian not for profit organisation that sends teams of hairdressers to poverty stricken areas to volunteer their time to work directly with people in need, to teach them hair cutting skills. We work with the poorest of the families so they can learn the skills required to increase their livelihood, which allows them to earn money to feed, clothe and house themselves and their children.

Hair Cutting training programs are known as Livelihood Empowerment Programs. The work Hair Aid does, provides homeless and economically disadvantaged individuals with a hand-up to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency. Hair Aid Inc. benefits participants by offering a free five-day Livelihood Empowerment Program based around learning hair cutting skills. By engaging and participating in a training program, participants are empowered to create a brighter future for themselves and their families.

Hair Aid is a not for profit organisation. There is no middle man so all proceeds go to the projects. That pays for flights and accommodation, (on some of our projects some of our students accommodation and food is paid for), the cost of bringing hair kits over, transfers and so much more.

Hair Aid - "saving the world one hair cut at a time"!

Thanks so much in advance. xx

I thought this would be something different to do as a fundraiser. Lets relax and take our minds off all the crazy things in life.

Gongscape is not just a sound therapy session; it's a transformative journey that resonates with the deepest parts of your being. Founded by Leith James, a Certified Sound Practitioner with extensive training in Group Sound Therapy, Gongscape offers a unique experience that harmonizes the body, mind, and soul through the ancient and powerful vibrations of the gong and other soothing instruments.

A Gong Sound Meditation is an ideal experience for stress reduction, stimulation of the glandular system, and to break up emotional blockages. When I hold a Gong Sound Meditation it will stimulate and resonate all cells in the human body simultaneously and recalibrate the parasympathetic nervous system

Session Structure

Introduction and Talk (15 minutes):

Gong Sound Experience (45 minutes): A brief talk about sound therapy, setting expectations, and guiding participants on what to expect during the session.
