The Women's Club - A Gathering for Connection, Friendship and Community
Three hours where you say YES to yourself.
The Women’s Club is a monthly gathering created to ease loneliness and bring women together through food, conversations, laughter and connection.
This is not a women’s circle or a workshop. There is nothing you need to learn, achieve or work through. It is simply a relaxed social gathering for women to come together, meet new people and feel part of a community.
We’ll share supper, chat, laugh, connect — and we may even have a dance!
Each month, we will also give back to a chosen charity or community cause. For October, we will be making hearts for Compassionate Hearts. No creative experience is necessary.
Each woman is invited to bring a small plate of supper to share. Please, no chilli or nuts due to allergies.
Come as you are. Share food, have a laugh, meet new women and make meaningful connections.
Let’s build a community of women who feel they belong.

The Workshop Blueprint
Have the ideas, but not sure how to turn them into a workshop that flows?
Be mentored by Julie-Anne as she shares her wealth of knowledge, experience and practical approach to creating meaningful workshops, sessions and day retreats.
Throughout this hands-on workshop, Julie-Anne will guide you through the complete process — from your first idea to creating an experience that feels professional, safe, purposeful and beautifully structured.
You’ll learn how to set up a workshop from beginning to end, including planning your space, creating a welcoming environment, structuring your content, managing timing, developing engaging activities and creating a natural flow throughout the day.
Julie-Anne will also guide you through safe practice and important guidelines to consider when working with groups, including participant wellbeing, boundaries, informed choice, accessibility, creating emotional safety, understanding your scope of practice and knowing when an activity may not be appropriate for everyone.
We’ll explore how to create a clear beginning, middle and end, how to welcome and settle your group, transition between activities, manage breaks, respond when things don't go to plan and bring your workshop to a meaningful close.
You’ll create while you learn. By the end of the day, you will have created your own Workshop Blueprint — a practical framework you can take away and use again and again to confidently create and deliver your own workshops, sessions and day retreats.
Bring your ideas. Bring your passion. Julie-Anne will help you create the blueprint to bring them to life.
Thrive - Half Day Retreat
A half-day retreat to reconnect with your heart, your intentions and the way you truly want to live.
When was the last time you stepped away from the busyness of life and asked yourself:
When was the last time you stepped away from the busyness of life and asked yourself:
How do I actually want to live?
THRIVE is a beautiful half-day retreat created to give you space to slow down, reconnect with yourself and become intentional about the life you are creating.
Guided by Julie-Anne, you will move Into the Heart through meditation, reflection and journalling, giving yourself time to listen beneath the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what truly matters to you. Throughout the retreat, we will explore intention setting and meaningful goal setting — not from pressure, comparison or the feeling that you should be doing more, but from your heart and the way you want your life to feel. You will take part in a beautiful creative arts activity, allowing you to express your intentions visually and create something meaningful to take home as a reminder of what you are choosing for yourself. We will also explore the importance of how you begin and end your day, creating simple morning and evening practices that support greater presence, gratitude, reflection and intention in everyday life.
And because slowing down should feel nourishing, we’ll share a yummy afternoon tea and beautiful herbal teas together. Your own journal is also included, giving you a special place to capture your reflections, intentions, goals and the practices you want to carry forward beyond the retreat.
Your afternoon includes:
Into the Heart Meditation • Journalling • Intention Setting • Heart-Led Goal Setting • Creative Arts Activity • Morning & Evening Practices • Reflection & Connection • Yummy Afternoon Tea • Herbal Teas • Your Own Journal.

You don't need to have everything figured out. Just come with an open heart and a willingness to ask: What would it look like if I stopped simply moving through life — and started living it intentionally?
THRIVE is your invitation to choose your life from the heart.

Closing Ceremony of 2025 - A Sacred Morning with Julie-Anne
Join Julie-Anne as we come together to honour the year that was and welcome the magic of what’s to come.
We’ll begin by creating a beautiful Earth Mandala, grounding ourselves in gratitude and opening sacred space.
Together, we’ll thank 2025 for its blessings, gently release what no longer serves us, and celebrate how we’ve shown up, grown, and blossomed through the year.
Then, guided by heart and intention, we’ll call in our visions for 2026 — setting goals and desires for the first three months ahead, aligned with joy, abundance, and purpose.
Last time this ceremony was offered, it sold out within two hours — and for good reason. It’s one of the most soul-nourishing ways to close the year, refresh your energy, and step into the new year feeling alive, clear, and thriving.
Spaces are limited — this is your invitation to begin 2026 grounded in love, clarity, and radiance.
All Inclusive, chai will be provided.
