Gathering Wisdom in Community

22/08/2026

Maybe you don’t need another busy weekend.
𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲.

Space to slow down.
Space to notice what is beautiful.
Space to move, sing, reflect and be with kind people.
Space to come back into relationship with yourself, with others, and with the living world.

In two weeks, we’ll be gathering in Fremantle for 𝑷𝒂𝒚 𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝑩𝒆 𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅 - a gentle weekend of shared movement and song, quiet reflection, poetry and community.

You don’t need to know the dances.
You don’t need to be “spiritual”.
You don’t even need to think you can sing.

You can simply arrive.

🌿 𝟱–𝟲 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 | 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲

Two weeks to go until our spring weekend in Fremantle.

🌿 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡?
Please don’t let that stop you.

Retreats can sometimes feel like the sort of thing you should bring a friend to — especially when you don’t already know the people who will be there.

But you are very welcome to come on your own.

𝑃𝑎𝑦 𝐴𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝐵𝑒 𝐴𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑑 is intentionally a small, gentle gathering, with plenty of space to arrive just as you are. The practices themselves — simple shared movement, song, silence and reflection — naturally create connection without requiring you to be outgoing or to know anybody beforehand.

There’s nothing to perform, and no need to fit in.
Just come.
We’ll meet you there. 🙂

📅 5–6 September
📍 Beacon Yoga Ashram, Fremantle

There’s a kind of grief many people carry quietly.

Not just the loss of someone dear…
But the endings that were never fully acknowledged.
The changes that came without closure.
The feelings that never quite found a place to land.

Often, we tell ourselves to just keep going.
And on the surface, we do.

But something in us is still waiting…
to be met, to be witnessed, to be allowed.

🌿

I’m offering a gentle day called *A Time to Honour Grief* on Saturday 28 March in South Fremantle.

This is not therapy.
There’s nothing to fix, and nothing you have to share if you don’t want to.

It’s simply a space to sit with what is here, in the quiet company of others —
to be witnessed, and to witness.

For many people, that alone brings a surprising sense of ease.

If something in you responds to this, you’re very welcome.

I know that choosing to attend something centered on grief can take a little courage.

Often people feel unsure whether their loss is “big enough,” or whether they will know what to say in a group.

In truth, many people arrive at these spaces feeling exactly that way. The intention of the day is simply to offer a gentle container where grief can be acknowledged and witnessed.

Whether your loss is recent or long ago, clearly defined or hard to name, you are welcome. If something in you feels a quiet pull toward this kind of space, we invite you to listen to that.

Gathering Wisdom is a space for reflection, conversation, and shared learning. Rooted in lived experience and deep listening, this page invites honest, courageous, and caring ways of growing older.

"But grief doesn’t calmly sit down. It doesn’t create structure. It doesn’t share the goal of “acceptance.” It doesn’t know what a goal is. More beast than human, grief doesn’t know words.

So the true answer to “How are you?” from a grieving person can’t be answered in words, but in a sound: a cry, a wail, a sigh, a howl, a scream, a moan, a whimper."

I'm wondering how to replace the "Five Stages"

This blessing speaks to the deep human need to feel held by something larger than oneself; earth, ancestors, spirit, and the living web of connection. It reminds the us that belonging isn’t earned but remembered, a truth already woven into our being. Its significance lies in gently guiding our soul back to a felt sense of place, companionship, and rootedness in the greater whole.

Text on Image: “May I remember the ground that holds me. May I feel the unseen ones walking beside me. May I rest into the truth that I belong. May my spirit know its place in the great weaving.”
