In September we welcomed Andrea as our newest resident! Over the past 3 years Andrea has been involved in many different roles: as a community facilitator, cleaner and office admin cover, and Facilities Manager until August 2025. Since January 2024 they have been a member of Community Empowerment Team, in their role of Engagement Administrator.

Our current resident Ayana has some questions for them:

Q: How does it feel to be transitioning in this new phase?
A: September actually marks my 2 year anniversary of working at The Centre, and I couldn’t have imagined a more natural transition of my involvement within this wonderful community. I feel at home here. In fact, this is the most I felt at home from any other place I lived in so far!

Q2: What are you most excited about?
A: Being able to do yoga in the garden, join silent meditations on a daily basis, and attend as many community events as possible! But what I’m most excited about is finding a way how to integrate myself even more within the community: by hosting seasonal celebrations, and maybe even facilitating my own workshops again.

Q3: What are you most passionate about bringing into SC as a resident?
A: Some things I am quite passionate about are creativity and cooking, and how those can foster a sense of community. So, expect a lot of creative movement explorations, as well as preparing and enjoying tasty food!
