Women Gather
Women Gather Weekend Campout
Welcome home women,
You are invited to gather in circle, camping out under the stars, sharing around the fire, feeling our bare feet on the Earth and dancing. This is a place for you to come home to yourself in the gentle holding of nature and each other. In circle we are all equal, all holding each other, listening, sharing and reflecting, this is at the heart of what this weekend is all about.
In this gathering we will be sharing meals together, creating ritual together and finding space for reflection and deep nature immersion. This is a slow space for you to unfurl and unwind, to come back to natures pace and deepen your roots into your inner nature.
Karla will be lightly facilitating the space, listening to the needs of the group, holding circle and co-ordinating meals and cacao made on the fire ~ her specialty! Her focus is on nurturing and nourishing the feminine back to balance.
You are invited to bring an instrument, art materials or anything else that will support your nourishment or the nourishment of the group. Meals will be a collaborative effort, we will cook and prepare together.

Earthdance
Full Moon Ceremony
Each month we gather in circle, in dance round the fire in nature with the full moon. We begin in circle with an embodied acknowledgment of country. Connecting to the land through our bodies brings us into our natural state of being together. From this place we share what is on our heart and then gently transition into dancing. After our dance we gather round the fire under the stars with a shared potluck meal. Karla offers this as a monthly gathering with the intention of creating not just community, but family, there is a familiarity that comes from meeting regularly. In ritual we have the opportunity for deeper connection and as a womens space we hold and reflect the deep nourishing wellspring of the feminine. Rekindling and remembering the ancient ways of woman.
You’ll find more information about Earthdance and other offerings on our Gathering page.

Kimberley Connection Gathering
Welcome to the land of fire and water,
You are invited into the heart of the Kimberley, to sit with local Indigenous women and embark on a journey of remembering.
The Kimberley is ancient land where fire and water meet. With cascading waterfalls, dramatic gorges and wide rivers. The sun shines bright and hot, radiating like fire. In this place, you can't help but be inspired by the beauty of nature, a reflection of our own nature as women. For six days we will gather ~ Sleeping under the stars, walking the land, sitting in circle and listening to Indigenous story.
"Wild nature calls us home."
The intention is…
To bring women together to listen to Indigenous story to learn their connection to country.
Spend time in reflection to connect to self and rekindle your connection to nature.
Authentically create nurturing change in your world and the world around you.
It looks like…
Hearing stories from Indigenous elders and learning their spiritual connection to the land
Sitting in circle as women to share our stories and learn from each other
Adventuring into waterfalls, rivers and gorges
It feels like…
Deeply connecting to the land
Being supported by a tribe of women (each other)
Feeling a sense of belonging
The Transformation...
This deep immersion in nature supports you back to your natural state of being – coming home to self and remembering your belonging to the natural world as a woman.

Desert Pilgrimage
Meeting the truth through the heart
We welcome you into the heart of the desert, into the red sands of the Earth and the heart of the Custodians who care for Country. These people holding the wisdom and teachings of the ancient ways that we have long forgotten. This is an opportunity for you to meet with Country and Custodians in a way that embraces the truth of this nation so that we may walk together. It’s through the heart that we come to feel the reality, to grieve what we have lost and return to our humanity.
You will be invited into my yearly pilgrimage of meeting with Custodians, sitting with the aunties, collecting bush tucker, sharing in traditional meals round the fire and exploring the incredible beauty of these desert ranges where life began. To embrace the people is to embrace their stories, we will gather to listen to the life of the desert people, of how life was before colonisation, during colonisation and what it could look like if we walked together with truth and heart…
2nd-9th September 2024
Alice Springs, NT
This has been 7 years in the making and will be the first gathering of it's kind. Further details of cost and dates coming soon.
Here's some photos of previous desert pilgrimages...
We gather on ancient lands that hold an ancient culture and acknowledge the Custodians that have taken care of these lands for over 100,000 years. We pay our respect to all Indigenous and acknowledge this always has been and always will be Aboriginal land. Sovereignty has never been ceded. May we listen and learn from the oldest living culture in the world and walk together.
