THRIVE Thursdays – Paint, Plant & Grow
12 pm – 2 pm, 15 Oct 2026
Courtyard, Level 1, UNSW College L5 Building
Moving to a new country, balancing study and meeting new people can sometimes feel like a lot.
Taking a little time to slow down and connect with nature can be a simple way to look after yourself.
🎨 Paint. Plant. Grow.
Take a break, get creative and bring a little nature into your space. Your new plant can be a reminder that growth takes time, and self-care matters wherever you are in the world. 🪴✨
🧠 Feel calmer and more positive – Spending time around plants and nature can help reduce stress, lift your mood and give your mind a chance to reset.
🧠 Give your mind a break – Stepping away from screens, study and busy routines can help you relax and return feeling refreshed and ready to focus.
🧠 Create a sense of connection – Caring for a plant can give you a small daily routine and a reminder to care for yourself too. Just like your plant, you need sunshine, rest, food, water and a little care to grow! 🌱
