Join us for a Death Cafe at The Farm for Wellbeing to continue the conversation about End of Life.
At a Death Cafe people drink tea, eat cake and discuss death. Our aim is to increase awareness of death to help people be informed about End of Life for themselves and their loved ones.
This will be a group led discussion of death and dying with no agenda, objectives or themes. A friendly place to have an honest chat about a taboo subject. End of Life Doulas will be here to guide the conversation and answer questions. This is not a grief counselling session but a listening and sharing time for all.
Cuppas and morning tea provided.
Tickets $5 each

The guidance provided does not require any prior experience, including Journaling. Each woman is accepted as she is, can pass rather than share in the Circle, and does not need to Journal if she chooses not to. Come and feel welcomed in a safe space.

So, what does it look like: How do we begin? You just arrive, have a cuppa, “land”, turn up as you are…received without judgement…bring your journal (or buy one here). Then we go into the Circle…

These Circles have been held for centuries in many forms as women held space for each other to support, to feel safe, to be listened to as part of the wise woman web of woman folk, “Womancraft” and Sisterhood.

What is Circle? We begin by sitting in a Circle on comfy cushions or chairs with a beautiful centre piece of candle lit radiance and listen as each woman speaks, one at a time, no interrupting…no advice giving…no fixing…how does that sound? Spacious yet with form because each woman is valued. Thus, we take turns with an approximate amount of time so we can all be heard.

It is time for you to be heard by other women as you share, sometimes from a deep space, sometimes just how life is at the moment.

A time of listening to your heart and other women, of sharing and receiving.

In our Circle we hear each other, we may not always agree and that’s OK because we are real! Eye to eye, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, womb to womb.

Each month in Wise Woman Within You Wisdom Circles we focus on the 5 Elemental Archetypes and her corresponding aspects. These Archetypes of Wise Woman, Amazon, Goddess, Alchemist and Earth Mother offer guidance for us to guide ourselves, trusting our knowing…yes, it’s a practice.

Following a guided meditation we share woman, by woman-or pass as you feel to. After this we begin the inquiry of questions, with silence we individually journal, following the thread deep within.

The next part of the circle is for us to share within this respectful and caring space, often hearing more of our own message from the unfolding which occurs from that which we have written. We finish with a closing ceremony which brings joy and more connection to those present.

We often have laughter, tears and always connection.

Join us on Wednesday mornings and evenings once a month here at The Farm for Wellbeing for Wise Woman Within You Wisdom Circles. From the depth of our dreaming our visions & ideas do emerge…the seeds are germinating, sprouting…We allow them to grow and flourish…How do they do this? We watch, listen and observe the flow of the wise woman way…step by step…as we flow with the Lunar Cycle and our inner guidance supported by the Elemental Archetypes and their enriching aspects. With our inward awareness we ponder questions to honour these seeds of inspiration and our flow in life or perhaps you feel stuck…this too we will explore…all is welcome.

Support, continuity, connection, flow…

You are warmly invited to join us for the Mary Magdalene Retreat – a residential immersion into the timeless wisdom and mystery of Mary Magdalene — Mariamne of Magdala.

Together, we will gather as women in sacred circle to explore The Gospel of Mary, an ancient text offering a radical vision of spiritual sovereignty, divine balance, and the soul’s ascension through love and inner knowing.

Guided by Dr Annie Southern, this retreat calls women who feel the Magdalene stirring within — those drawn to the deep feminine mysteries, to remembrance, and to the embodiment of love as sacred power.

Our Journey Will Include:

• Exploring The Gospel of Mary and its teachings on higher realms and soul work• Understanding why Mary’s Gospel was excluded from the New Testament• Tracing the Magdalene lineages through Egypt, France, and the Essene and Isis traditions• Awakening the sacred Chrism within — the inner alchemy that unites body, soul, and spirit• Interpreting Magdalene’s sacred symbols — the alabaster jar, the egg, the skull• Reclaiming the feminine face of Christ consciousness and restoring her place in history

Mary Magdalene Retreat Experience:

• Cacao Ceremony & Dance under the stars on Saturday night• Deep teachings and transmissions with Dr Annie Southern• Nourishing meals & shared accommodation in nature

Your Facilitator: Dr Annie Southern (PhD, Health Science)

A spiritual mentor, writer, and lived-experience leader, Annie brings decades of study and devotion to her facilitation.Her work weaves together esoteric wisdom, psychology, and embodied spirituality to guide others toward healing and wholeness.

Rooted in Romany lineage and the Magdalene Light tradition, Annie honours Sara le Kali and the feminine lineage that carried Mary’s teachings into France.Her facilitation invites you to rest into your own inner knowing — the Magdalene Way — through story, reflection, and sacred presence. Annie’s spaces are inclusive, safe, and deeply reverent of the feminine essence in all her forms.

A Retreat for the Soul

The Mary Magdalene Retreat is for women who feel called to the deeper mysteries of the Magdalene — seekers, healers, and spiritual teachers ready to awaken the divine feminine within and embody love as a living frequency

Investment:$1,200 AUD — includes bunk accommodation, all meals, and full retreat program.

Circle and Connection in Wise Woman Within You Zoom Circles

These Circles have been held for centuries in many forms as women held space for each other to support, to feel safe, to be listened to as part of the wise woman web of woman folk, “Womancraft” and Sisterhood.
It is time for you to be heard by other women as you share, sometimes from a deep space, sometimes just how life is at the moment.
A time of listening to your heart and other women, of sharing and receiving.
In our Circle we hear each other, we may not always agree and that’s OK because we are real! Eye to eye, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, womb to womb – even virtually as we will be in Zoom.

These Wise Woman Within You Zoom Circles are a Wisdom Circle – a space to connect, be held and heard, to drop in and check with yourself – how are you? A space for reflection and perhaps review.
Following a guided meditation we will share woman, by woman how we are travelling in life – just heard, no advice given.
After this we then ponder a question or 2 based on where we are in the Lunar and Seasonal Cycle depending on the time and the flow…using journaling as well as a tool to reveal our inner wisdom from deep within.
To finish as time allows, we will share again any insights that have been revealed. 1 by 1. You are always welcome to “pass” in these rounds of sharing which are a respectful and caring space for all. In the Wisdom Circles we often hear more from the unfolding which occurs than from that which we have written. We often have laughter, tears and always connection.

Join us online on Wednesday evenings once a month for Wise Woman Within You Zoom Circles. A link to Zoom will be sent via email 24 hours prior to each circle. Price: $25 ($15 concession)

From the depth of our dreaming our visions & ideas do emerge…the seeds are germinating, sprouting…We allow them to grow and flourish…How do they do this? We watch, listen and observe the flow of the wise woman way…step by step…as we flow with the Lunar Cycle and our inner guidance supported by the Elemental Archetypes and their enriching aspects.

About me:I have been doing menswork regularly for the last 10 years or so. It brings me great joy to sit in circle with other men and feel a deep sense of belonging. I went to my first men’s circle at age 15 with my father and my brother. I’m so grateful to my father for offering me that experience. I have a 19 year old son and I’ve been taking him to various age-appropriate men’s circles since he was about 12. For the last 5 years I have been giving back to the community by facilitating menswork events as part of several organisations including Brazen Brotherhood, Southern Mens Gathering and Good Better Best Men. I also co-facilitate a closed men’s circle in Mylor. I look forward to sitting in circle with you.Brett Aylen (AKA Tailen)
