In October 2025, Hayley had the privilege of working as an artist facilitator for Everybody Now’s Creative & Connected program for Mental Health Week. As part of this initiative, she led the Weaving New Perspectives workshops—using paper weaving as a gentle, reflective creative practice.

Across two weekends, Hayley facilitated two 2-hour workshops at the Broadbeach and Ormeau Community Centres on the Gold Coast. She also delivered a pop-up activation at the Oasis Shopping Centre, inviting passers-by to contribute pause and engage in mindful art-making.

Everybody Now is a Gold Coast–based arts company dedicated to creating participatory projects that bring communities together through shared, meaningful creative experiences. Their work focuses on connection, wellbeing, and celebrating the stories and strengths of everyday people.
