The weekend just gone was a one legged leap of faith for me - back in the right direction. The soul Connection Day reignited my passion for group work.
Many moons ago (20 years ago to be exact) I bought a fantastic yoga studio and house in Toowoomba. I had 3 years there teaching yoga,meditation and community drumming. The beautiful old building with polished floors was many things - a general store, an ice cream factory - now a shed building company owns it. Oh the stories it would tell!
Anyway, I wanted to thank again all the amazing people that arrived for an afternoon of connection through yoga, meditation & music. I am super excited for 2026 - and the expansion of space here. We will definitely host more Soul Connection Days at our retreat.

🌿 Soul Connection Day Reflections 🌿

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Soul Connection Day at Foggy Lookout! 25-10-25 auspicious day indeed.

These are my reflections and takeaways from a truly heartfelt day.

It had been over twelve months since I’d hosted a yoga workshop or class, and honestly — I felt a little anxious stepping back into that facilitator space. But something inside me whispered that it was time. I had other wonderful wellness facilitators ready to share their gifts, so I “date-claimed” on Facebook and trusted the flow. There were so many synchronicities leading up to the day that I knew it was meant to be.

Offering a rich blend of personal development and life coaching, tai chi, yoga, meditation and energy awareness, sound alchemy with crystal singing bowls, percussion, and voice work.

Then — just as everything was coming together — I broke my right ankle! I didn’t see that one coming. But even with stitches and a cast, I decided to trust the Universe had my back. We went ahead anyway, and I’m so glad we did. 💫

As a teacher, facilitator, and retreat manager, I know how vital it is to have a supportive team — and I truly did. Each person brought their own light and wisdom, helping create that magical group energy that allows others to rest, retreat, and reconnect. Despite my own setbacks and self-doubt, this experience reminded me why I love this work so deeply.

Over ten bright, brave souls joined us face to face — real people, real stories, real energy. Together, we shared 4–7 hours of connection, creativity, and community. It was spontaneous, flowing, and deeply human.

We may have run out of time and space to cover everything I’d planned, but what we did create was genuine community — a space to pause, breathe, and explore new ways of being.

The feedback was wonderful, and my heart is full of gratitude. 🙏
There’s always room for growth — and I’ll be quietly refining things before the next event.

Until then… thank you for being part of this journey of connection and healing. 💛

Special thanks to our wonderful co facilitators, day savers, networkers Dan & Mariella, Petra, Bernie and Kelly and 'beauty full' guests 🙏 . PS> And I don't want miss out on EVERmore festival next year!!

When I’ve got music playing and my hands deep in the soil, something just clicks. It’s the one place I don’t overthink how I look, sound, or move. I hum along, maybe even dance a little, and the plants don’t judge, they just exist beside me like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

There’s a calm that comes with that kind of freedom. No filters, no performance, just rhythm, soil, and presence. It’s the version of myself that feels most real, the one that belongs here, surrounded by green, letting the music carry whatever words I don’t need to say.
