Book now

Enjoy two hours just for you. A chance to slow down and connect with yourself and other women in a beautiful setting.

We'll enjoy a cuppa on arrival as you settle in and meet one another. Then we'll move into the circle space for our Mother Nature Circle.

A Mother Nature Circle is a simple ritual space in which to step away from the daily flow of life, to pause and reflect. It’s simple yet powerful - telling stories, hearing stories, and weaving the threads of community and connection.

Our theme for this circle will be Cyclical living: exploring our menstrual cycles.

There’s great wisdom within the four phases of the menstrual cycle. Living with connection to these internal four seasons can help us remember that we can push and strive at times, but that at other times we need to slow down, reflect and gather energy.

The circle will be an opportunity to share experiences and tune in to the potentially amazing reality of being a cycling woman. Explore how this might work for you, through the collective wisdom.

I’d love you to join us.

Five places available.

Earlybird price of $25 available until Sunday 28th December, thereafter $35.

Sliding scale for women's circles

I host my Mother Nature Circles in Quedjinup, south-west Western Australia.

Location

Inspired by the Green Bottle sliding scale concept (see graphic below), I offer three tiers of payment for Mother Nature Circles:

1. Full bottle: Cost plus 50% pay-it-forward donation to support another ($25 + $12.50 donation) = $37.50

2. Half full bottle: Cost $25

3. Least full bottle: Subsidised for those experiencing financial hardship $12.50

Full bottle:

  • I’m comfortably able to meet all my basic needs*.

  • I may have some debt but it doesn’t prevent me meeting my basic needs.

  • I own my home or another property, or I rent a higher-end property.

  • I have financial savings.
