As winter descends upon Busselton, bringing with it cold and damp weather, the community is gearing up to combat the seasonal blues in a unique way. Local resident Sana Turnock has organized a jigsaw puzzle evening set to take place on Friday, July 11, at the Mermaid Café from 6 to 8:30 pm. This event aims to transform the solitary act of puzzling into a social and engaging activity, fostering connections and promoting overall wellbeing.
Sana’s inspiration for this event stemmed from her exploration of the numerous benefits that jigsaw puzzles offer. Surprisingly, these seemingly simple pastimes have been found to promote relaxation, focus, and calmness. Moreover, they serve as a platform for bringing people together, facilitating connections through shared quiet moments and conversations. Beyond the social aspect, puzzles also have cognitive benefits, enhancing memory recognition and hand-eye coordination, making them particularly valuable for individuals of all ages, including those undergoing rehabilitation.
During the two-hour event, teams of three will compete, with prizes generously provided by local businesses. Sana emphasizes the significance of supporting small businesses, which are integral to the fabric of the community. As a regional business advisor, artist, and advocate for wellbeing, Sana has a proven track record of uniting people to enhance their overall health and connections. Her previous initiatives, such as hosting forums on end-of-life discussions and launching podcasts featuring local voices, underscore her commitment to community cohesion and support.
Seasoned puzzlers and novices alike are encouraged to participate in the evening’s activities. Recognizing that winter often isolates individuals in their homes, Sana’s goal is to create an inclusive event that brings people together. Even those who may not be keen on puzzling are welcome to attend, mingle, and enjoy the company of others. The Mermaid Café will be serving food and drinks, with early dinner reservations available for attendees.
To secure a spot at this interactive and engaging event, interested participants can book their tickets through Humanitix at events.humanitix.com/jigsaw-puzzle-social-competition-busselton.

Sana’s initiative showcases the power of community-driven events in fostering social connections, promoting wellbeing, and supporting local businesses, all while combating the winter doldrums.
