Kula Circle – A Monthly Women’s Gathering

I’m so excited to be co-creating something that’s been percolating in the background for sometime really special with my dear friend and colleague, Debbie Sumner
Together, we’re offering Kula Circle — a monthly women’s gathering rooted in connection, presence, and community.

Kula is a Sanskrit word meaning community, tribe, or sacred gathering and that essence is exactly what we’re inviting here.

Kula Circle will meet on the first Thursday of every month, from 6:30–8:00pm, at Grounded (Connings precinct).
Our first gathering will be Thursday 5th March.

This is a gentle, welcoming space to slow down, share a cup of tea, connect with yourself and others, and engage in meaningful, heart-centred conversation. Some evenings may have a soft theme or intention to guide the circle, while others will simply unfold organically, shaped by the women who gather and what’s present in the room.

Energy exchange: Sliding scale
$25 is a suggested contribution — please pay what you can. No one will be turned away for financial reasons.

If you feel called to join us, please reach out. There will also be the option to be added to a WhatsApp group so we can stay connected between gatherings.

We would love to welcome you into the circle ✨

A little shout-out to my wonderful colleague
This arrived in the mail and I cannot wait to devour it — you know how much I love learning and deepening my understanding in this space.

Food Mad by dietitian Victoria Schonwald reframes eating disorders through a nutritional neurobiology lens, showing how under-nutrition changes brain function — making fear louder, thinking narrower, and recovery feel impossible, even when someone “knows better.”

This book so clearly explains why logic, reassurance, and motivation often fail in eating disorders, and why nourishment is the biological foundation of recovery — not an optional add-on.

A powerful, compassionate read for families, individuals, and clinicians alike.
So grateful for the work you do, Victoria 📚💙

Forever learning, forever a student ✨

So deeply grateful to be embarking on 12 months of mentoring with the amazing Sarah .yoga.counselling There are honestly no words for what she brings to the world the depth, integrity, and justice woven through her work is something I hold in the highest regard.

The training I undertook with her 6 years ago remains, to this day, the most impactful training I have ever done and that speaks volumes given the breadth of learning I’ve immersed myself in over the years.

If you haven’t yet had the privilege, I wholeheartedly recommend checking out her Instagram. She shares such profound, thoughtful, and deeply reflective insights — the kind that linger, challenge, and gently reshape how you see the world.

Always learning. Always growing. Always grateful
