Join the Peter Mac Book Group

Connect Through Stories | Support Through Words

Starting Wednesday, 8 October at the Peter Mac Wellbeing Centre, we're launching a brand-new Book Group for Peter Mac patients, carers, and family members - past or present. This group is a supportive, social space designed to foster connection, healing, and reflection through reading.

Facilitated by Tim Baker — best-selling, awardwinning author, cancer survivor, and expert in writing therapy, our sessions begin with his memoir 'Patting the Shark' (Penguin, 2022), and will explore books that bring solace, insight, or escape during the cancer journey.

Whether you're into deep reflection, shared experience, or just a good read - we’d love for you to join us!
