What Our Retreat Offers

Come and share in our Aboriginal Women’s Business through all-women weekend retreats. You are all invited and welcome to share and learn. We will share and care for each other as women in Australia, a land of ancient knowledge and wisdom.
Women’s business covers everything that women do in life, including taking care of Law, Country, relationships, family, children, story, history, and the Tjukurpa. You will learn what is special about Aboriginal women and their business.
We share food and create Gathering, Talking, and Healing Circles where we talk, laugh, sing, and enjoy ourselves together. You will create a headband for ceremony, learn traditional dances and songs, and share about life, love, Aboriginal Law, Spirituality, Culture, and Inma – ceremony.
Women from all backgrounds are welcome to our workshops as we learn and share in First Nations cultural traditions specific to women, children, and family life.
