Sharing the song of the earth through creative practice. Cooroora is our local mountain.
Bringing together artists, writers, musicians, dancers, craftspeople, and intellectuals interested in place and environment.
Courses run from March to November in fine furniture making, woodworking for women, ceramics, pottery, nature writing, weaving, ecodying, sandal making, poetics, and more. Most courses run one day a week (between four to nine weeks), usually Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Open Studios every Sunday afternoon except in January when the Cooroora Institute is closed. Espresso coffee, tea, and fine cakes available for purchase.
Concerts and masterclasses from visiting artists-in-residence are run irregularly, as well as massage and healing days. Discounts and free access for many such events if you are a student, teacher, or volunteer at the Cooroora Institute.
HelpXers and other volunteers stay frequently and assist in building projects, gardens, and running classes.

We are building, gardening, making, writing, running workshops, masterclasses, and concerts, creatively sharing the song of the earth in this small hinterland place on the northern end of the Sunshine Coast in the antipodes. We literally and metaphorically return energy and power to our local community and all its visitors, both nature and human.
