Join Anna alongside an intimate group of likeminded women to honour the cycle of the seasons.
Gathering in circle with women is an ancient tradition rooted in intention and ritual, and offers an opportunity to reflect, release, and renew as we celebrate warmth, new life, and an invitation to balance.
In the Southern Hemisphere, this is the time to pause as we acknowledge the longest night and connect with the hope of the light to come.
This is the season of turning inward and tending to the proverbial soil we are growing in. In the depths of winter we grow roots and withdraw to grow strength and build energy for the year to come.Â
Come as you are. We’ll create a space together that is warm, witnessed, and unhurried. Our circles are a place to breathe out, to remember, and to belong.
Come join us for a grounding movement practice and meditiation followed by reflection, intention setting, and sharing.

With Dr Susannah French of The Harpy’s OracleÂ
Curious about tarot but not sure where to start? Never quite understood the difference between a pentacle and a sword? This is your invitation.
Tarot is more than a deck of beautiful cards. It’s a tool for self-knowledge, a practice of reflection and, when the world feels like it’s happening to you rather than with you, a way of reclaiming your own agency. Reading tarot is, in its own way, a quietly political act. It puts the power of interpretation back in your hands.
Across four Saturday afternoons, you’ll explore the history and origins of tarot, learn to read both the Major and Minor Arcana, work with a range of spreads, and engage thoughtfully with the ethics of reading for yourself and for others. You’ll also discover what kind of tarot practitioner you are, because there is no single right way to read the cards.
What you’ll walk away with:
-
Confidence to read for yourself and those you love
-
A working knowledge of the Major and Minor Arcana, and how the suits speak to each other
-
The ability to choose and work with spreads that suit your questions
-
A copy of Susannah’s eBook, yours to keep
-
Lifetime access to Susannah’s ongoing resources
$500 | 20 places only. These will go quickly.
Sunday September 27 | 4:15-7pm
Shakti Womb Dance | Kate Dillon
Ecstatic Dance & Sacred Women’s Circle. Dance the wild feminine alive.
Freedom lives in the body. It comes free when we shed expectations and move and sound together, with no one to perform for. Most of us have spent years watching ourselves, softening, monitoring, making sure we’re not too much. Here there’s no choreography, only space for your own freedom to move the way it wants to. What you find underneath isn’t something you have to reach for. It was always there.
Womb Shakti Dance moves in an arc. We begin with Shakti yoga to connect you to your body, to womb and to heart, and to welcome the current of life moving through you. This is both a warming of the body and an awakening of the senses, breath, warmth, the feel of your own skin, the weight of you meeting the ground. From there the movement grows freer, the beats grow more primal, and by the time they rise you’re already moving from the inside, free and unfiltered. The practice opens into ecstatic dance, no steps, no performing, just your body finally allowed to move wild. Woven through with womb connection, voice and cacao.
What you’ll experience:
- Sacred blessing ritual with rose oil and plant medicine allies
- Heart-opening ceremonial cacao
- Womb connection practices to wake your creative life force
- Voice activation to free your authentic expression
- Organic movement and free dance to carefully curated primal beats
- Deep rest and integration in sacred circle
- Witnessing and being witnessed by other women in their fullness
You leave more alive in your body, carrying that fuller, freer woman back into your days.
“After Womb Shakti Dance I felt on top of the world. I noticed this little fire at my solar plexus, and every time I thought about it, it made me smile. I was really conscious of how much I liked my body. How much I liked being me. That fire stayed with me.”
— Holly
“Since the circle, I’ve felt more sovereign in my body, more direct in myself and my boundaries.”
— Briony
Investment:
Standard $120

What to Bring: Water bottle, comfortable clothing for free movement, and an open heart for whatever wants to emerge.

Fundraiser for Palestine - "Where The Olive Trees Weep" | Soma
Join Anna and Linda for a screening of Where The Olive Trees Weep.
The producers describe this as a film that “gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and brings to light the lives of people we met on our 2022 journey in the occupied West Bank. Their universally human stories speak of intergenerational pain, trauma and resilience.
“We hope they touch your heart, stir compassion and understanding, and give rise to a pursuit for justice. For without justice, peace remains an empty slogan.”
This screening is welcome to all. Disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated.
$20 | All funds received to Soma will go directly to the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network.
