Reflection & Movement
August has been a month of wholeness. Seeing what my body, mind and spirit is capable of. I toyed with the idea of entering Hyrox last year and didn't. This year, after a conversation with my coach, it was simply about making a decision. The tickets became available and I entered. Keeping my promises to myself, doing the prep work, building the foundations and executing once the day arrived. Was it hard, yes. Did I not want to train sometimes yes. Did I make mistakes on the way, yes. Reflecting as I write this.... I can do hard things, I can be consistent and I can inspire others along the way. It's not about being the best or the fastest for me. It's about showing up, even when life can be a struggle and becoming who we are.
The weekend before Hyrox, I spent the weekend in Dwellingup for a Choir Camp. So much more than choir camp!!! Meeting the most epic humans, singing, connecting, community and being nourished by an incredible catering team. Mamakin Spender were the creators of this yearly event. Honestly the BEST retreat, event, weekend away I've ever had. The community were simply so open hearted. Thanks to my friend Jess who sent me the link on instagram, it was a fuck yes immediately. Safe to say my entire body, mind and spirit has been thoroughly nourished for August.
opening hearts through Koko
I am deeply grateful to share a new chapter. During my recent adventures, I had the privilege of meeting Fipe, a guardian of traditional island dancing and a dedicated cultivator of Living Koko (cacao). Fipe's work supports indigenous communities and their farming practices. Funnily enough, I had been looking for a supplier via community to support for sometime now. Fipe was one of the facilitators at Choir Camp, sharing her beautiful traditional island dancing with us everyday. I wasn't only moved to tears during the movement sessions, we also connected and here we are. So much healing in one weekend and what a surprise to be connecting to culture.
I am proud to announce that I am now a wholesaler for Fipe's traditional Samoan Koko. Every cup supports sovereign indigenous trade and honours the land from which it came. Pick up from my home in Ellenbrook, alternatively shipping can be arranged.
Upcoming Gatherings
Self-love & Sound Series
Life today can be busy, noisy and full.
We're constantly connected through our phones, our work, our families and the external world. How much time do we get to slow down and be present with ourselves and with other women?
There was a time when we had our village. Our people were around us. We shared life, supported each other and simply spent time together with less distraction.
We believe women still need their village.
This series is about creating a little more of that in a modern world.
A space to step away from the busyness, put the phone down, breathe, and spend time in the company of other like-minded women.
A space to feel connected, supported and part of something.
And most importantly, a space to come back home to yourself.
Unfolding: A Day Retreat
What if one day is all you need?
One day where your phone isn't pulling at you, where nobody needs anything from you, where the only thing on your list is to come back to yourself.
Because right now, you're running on empty and calling it normal. You're showing up for everyone; work, kids, partners, the never-ending list.. and somewhere in all that giving, you stopped checking in with you. Unfolding is a single day set aside on purpose. A day to have fun, to tune in, to breathe out and BE YOU. It is a day you can actually say yes to. Across the day, you'll move through sound, breath, and creative expression. Three different ways of dropping back into your body, each one designed to help you release what you're carrying and meet yourself with a little more kindness. Expect:
🌿 Sound healing to slow your nervous system right down 🌿 Breath and slow movements to shift the stuff words can't reach 🌿 Joyful creative practice - no skills required, and full permission to play! 🌿 Stillness, rest, and the beautiful company of others No major life overhaul required. Just one day, that's fully yours. Spaces are limited. Maybe you've had the Visions Forward Retreat on your heart for a while, but five days away just isn't possible for you at the moment.. work, family, life. This is for you. Sometimes a day of being nurtured on all levels is exactly what you need.
