Our Story

Founded by Lucinda Giblett in Manjimup, Western Australia, Stellar Violets exists to enrich life. Functioning as a collaborative place of beauty and learning, volunteer-led projects map responses to pervasive ill health in self, land and society – the global “whole health” crisis.

Team

Stellar Violets is a Western Australian Incorporated Association and Australian Registered Charity (DGR). Our Committee of Management is made up of local, inter-state, and international volunteer members, artist collaborators, and professionals giving pro-bono assistance.

Lucinda Giblett

Founder / Creative Director

Lucinda Giblett is the founder, creative director, and editor-in-chief of Stellar Violets Life Library Living Museum & Gallery, an arts & cultural centre delivering wondrous experiences to help people & planet flourish.

After completing graduate, and post graduate studies in Communications, and Creative Industries at Curtin, and then QUT and living abroad, in France, Lucinda returned to her family farm in Manjimup, out of which her Stellar Violets dream has emerged.

Lucinda has been recognised for her work by being awarded runner up West Australian Rural Woman of the Year, and is a highly regarded key-note speaker.

Stellar Violets “2020 Vision”& beyond is to:

Fund “Girls Trip” – an immersive educational journey in which girls & their mentors undertake experiences in flourishing organic gardens & gorgeous, heritage train carriages;
Publish & support writers, poets, and artists-in-residence; restore and fit out a train carriage library & accommodation studios; and,
Engage community to plant 100s of trees upon our 8 acre canvas.

Lucinda and Stellar Violets volunteers are dreaming into a world fit for our time, in which the global ‘whole health’ crisis is met with sanity and soul, for the well-being of self, land, and society.
