Barrel of Monkeys presents

The Permission Slip
Hosted by Crystal Stanton and Anji Young

Ladies of the Whitsundays, it’s your turn to:

Treat yourself
Eat, drink and be merry
Get back in touch with who you really are
Let your inner child out and have some wholesome fun
Activate your ‘queen’ energy and take charge of your own reality
Move your body in fun new ways
Be seen for REAL
MAKE NOISE and claim your space
Be silly, just for a moment
Deeply connect with yourself and other women
Forget the to-do list for a minute
And LET GO of self limiting beliefs

We will be providing easy access, simple, low time requirement and science backed methods and strategies to help you free your mind, and heart of unnecessary burden and struggle.

The activities we offer are guaranteed to brighten and clear your mind, guaranteed to help you feel and act more freely in your daily life and most of all, guaranteed to be FUN!

FAST ART Workshops - Saturdays, and Sundays at Bowen Community Markets

Are your kids struggling with boredom, uninspired for creative pursuits and using screen time more than you’d like?

Book in for one (or both) of our weekend workshops this weekend (14th and 15th) or our next round (28th and 29th) and let Barrel of Monkeys show you and your kids some super easy, super fun and super satisfying art and craft techniques that can be endlessly adapted for new activities at home :)

Each session will be different than the last, so feel free to book for several 😌

All consumables supplied, all artworks go home with you and there will be special take away information sheets with the basic techniques outlined for your future reference.

Cost $30 per child per session with discounts for families. Session times 9am-12pm Saturday and Sunday (at the Bowen Community Markets alongside our regular stall).

These will be outdoor sessions so please bring hats, sunscreen and cold water. We will mainly be in shaded areas anyways, but there may be some foraging for natural supplies required.

Also, please don’t bring your squids in their best gear, it’s likely to get a little messy 🙃

Parents must be in attendance (although feel free to bring a snack or a nice cold drink and just chill out under the trees while I manage your munchkins). Age range 5-12 (including particularly precocious four year olds too 😁)

Please call Anji on 0488688675 to book your spot. Spaces are limited to ensure each child gets enough guidance to really get something out of our sessions, so get in quick 😌

Got a pic with the real Santa and his lovely elf friend, had a BUNCH of fun with all the little visitors to our play space and made loads of new friends today…at the Bowen Community Sunday Markets. Keep your eyes open, school holiday workshops soon to be advised and you best bet we’ll be back under the shady trees for monkey play time when markets start up again early January.

Merry Christmas everyone, may you all have fun, be love and enjoy a moment or two to put your feet up, see you all soon!

Come down to the Hansen Park Lions markets and check out Barrel of Monkeys Christmas stock, join us for a play while you’re here, plenty of shade and buddies to hang out with :)

The monkey fam are not going to be at Lions Market as we’d planned this morning, one of our littlest crew members is under the weather and Mama monkey won’t be making the poor little poppet come out in the heat for hours. Next Sunday is a guaranteed thing though, so hope to see you all there…and hope we’re all getting in the festive spirit in whatever way that looks…like our lovely real life Christmas tree…it’s rough, but it smells soooo pretty 🤩

Hey friends…I’m doing a thing again, would really appreciate the shares. Don’t be shy to hit me up to ask about all the cool workshops and activities we have in the pipeline either ☺️

Barrel of Monkeys reboot time. It’s been a while people, mama monkey has spent the last few years expanding her tribe, and we’re baaaaack fresh as and ready to play!!

Here’s us, including a special extra guest Monkey, repping for playtime, tree climbs and the amazing printing and design work of Jason Le Press who is our new graphic designer and uniform supplier. He’s a local, he’s got skills, and I hope to have him do a graphic art workshop with us very soon. Check his work and offerings at
