ReNewy Living is located in the Newcastle region of NSW. The main geographical areas for workshops, presentations and tours are within the Newcastle, Port Stephens, Hunter and Central Coast regions.

I will consider some areas of Sydney, including the Sutherland Shire, Eastern Suburbs and northern areas of Sydney. Workshop and presentation costings for these areas will reflect additional travel and time. This also applies to other areas beyond these listed.

There’s something truly valuable about in-person workshops. They’re my top priority for creating connection and hands-on learning.

That said, some workshops adapt well to shorter online sessions. Topics like Reduce Food Waste in your Home: Simple Steps that Work and Green Cleaning can be offered as engaging information sessions, perfect for sparking ideas and starting conversations from wherever you are.

All of these workshops are for eco-conscious people who are ready to take practical, local action for the planet, whether you’re starting out or building on what you already do. The workshops show that living sustainably doesn’t have to be all or nothing! It’s more important for us to be balanced and show “shades of green”.

Interested audiences include primary-school aged kids, young people, business teams, educators, or local councils keen to run a sustainability series.

Each workshops focuses on what’s possible, encouraging new habits and celebrating the many ways people live more resourcefully at different stages of our lives.

Education is at the heart of Mardi’s professional background! As an early childhood educator for 20 years, Mardi is still keen to share her knowledge with all stakeholders involved in the education system – young children, young people, teachers and families.

A range of engaging and menaingful environmental education workshops and presentations can support the early childhood, primary and secondary school curriculums. Chat with Mardi about your aims and scope of possibilities to bring authentic sustainable living into the classroom or the outdoors.

Mardi has a NSW working with children check.

I’d love to help your business embed sustainability into everyday practice. Because when sustainability becomes second nature, it builds trust with values-driven customers, reduces your long-term costs and sets your business apart

There’s no fixed baseline cost for workshops, as pricing varies based on the type of workshop and location.

Please contact Mardi at mardi@renewyliving.com.au to discuss your specific needs, timeframes and budget.

While each workshop offers unique benefits, the overarching outcomes for participants include:

• Greater confidence and motivation to take meaningful, realistic steps toward living sustainably

• An increased appreciation for small-step changes rather than an all-or-nothing approach

• Openness to learning and adapting new sustainable habits

• A stronger sense of responsibility and connection to both their community and the environment

The social and environmental impact of each workshop is measured in different ways, depending on the focus. Much of the impact is qualitative—like participants sharing what they’ve learned with others, building new connections over coffee, or having conversations that continue well beyond the event. These workshops don’t happen in isolation and it’s the ripple effects that happen.

Sometimes the impact is captured through quantitative data, such as how much waste is diverted from landfill or how many people attend and actively engage in the workshop.

All workshops are ideal for flexible learning spaces – spaces that allow for a range of chair-seating, floor-seating, table-seating and standing. This could be in a cafe, a shared space, community hall, office, child care centre – wherever your community is, these workshops can be there to meet them.

Some of the workshops use technology as a complementary enhancement of the presentation. Adjustments to the workshop can be made if connection to technology is unavailable.
