EUREKA FLOW
To celebrate turning 30, the Eureka members and staff showcased their creativity by launching an original song - Eureka Flow. The song was filmed with the help of MONA’s Frying Pan Studio, and the video put together by our talented staff member, Bill.
What better way to showcase the heart of Eureka Clubhouse as a Home Base for personal transformation and self-expression for so many people over the last 30 years.
