About Us
South West Acoustic Circle is a recently incorporated, not for profit organisation with an acoustic music focus and mental health focus in the South West of Western Australia.
Our main aim is to bring people together for good mental health, to play, recite, sing and listen to live acoustic music and bush poetry. We want to build relationships and community, as well as skills.
Our inclusive group is open to people of all ages, skills, and abilities. We provide a creative and mutual learning space to foster mental health maintenance and recovery.
The group meets at various times and locations in the South West of Western Australia. Find out about our next event here.
Every quarter we organise camp-over weekend meetings in Greenbushes to bring people together, share, learn, challenge and support each other. Check out our Acoustic Jam Etiquette to find out more.
