Spokesperson for the group, Veronica Abbott said the funding would allow for events, workshops and short course classes to be scheduled over the next two years.
"A wish-list of activities has been identified by community members and we are now seeking expressions of interest from locally based practitioners, tutors and demonstrators to be involved in the delivery," she said.
Bookings are still available for two writing workshops with Marian Devitt at the Quaama School of Arts Hall on Saturday, August 7 and Saturday, August 21 and are suitable for all levels of writers.
Monthly meditation and mindfulness sessions start on Saturday, August 14.
"Join Steve Chin on the second Saturday of every month for an hour of meditation and mindfulness for healing and wellness," Ms Abbott said.
"Sessions include an introduction to meditation and mindfulness; breath awareness; meditation in stillness and in motion; integrating meditation and mindfulness into daily life for peace, health, harmony, healing and wellness."
