🌿 COME AS YOU ARE
A nurturing and educational afternoon for women
Saturday 21 November · 1–4pm · Bentleigh Area
A gentle afternoon created for women navigating life’s big chapters - the ones that stretch us, reshape us, and invite us to meet ourselves with greater tenderness, courage, and compassion.
Perhaps you are navigating a relationship ending, the loss of a parent, a new diagnosis, stress or overwhelm. Perhaps communication and relationships feel challenging, or you are simply looking for practical ways to care for yourself and navigate whatever comes next.
Whatever chapter you are in, there is space for you here.
A place to exhale.
A place to connect.
A place to feel supported.
A place to simply come as you are.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
A nourishing and restorative afternoon combining:
🌿 Somatic movement to reconnect with your body
🌬️ Breathwork to support calm and regulation
💡 Practical education and tools you can take into everyday life
🧰 A personal self-care toolkit — knowing where to go, who to call and what support is available
🛡️ Practical safety planning for you, your children, and your pets
💬 Shared stories and collective wisdom from women who understand life’s transitions
🤍 Connection and community to remind you that you don't have to navigate everything alone
There is no expectation to share, perform or have the right words.
You can be curious, vulnerable, emotional, quiet, reflective - or simply present.
SHARED STORIES. COLLECTIVE WISDOM.
One of the most powerful things we can offer each other is the simple experience of being seen and understood.
There will be space for honest stories about transition, resilience, grief, diagnosis, endings, beginnings, overwhelm and hope.
Nothing forced. Nothing performative.
Just women sharing when they feel ready, and women listening with compassion.
Because sometimes hearing another woman say, “I've been there too,” is exactly what we need.
NOURISHMENT & CONNECTION
The afternoon will include beautiful, nourishing platters designed to support grounding, comfort, and connection - fresh produce, wholesome bites, and options to accommodate dietary needs.
Our drinks will be intentionally alcohol-free, creating a space where you can stay present and connected.
Think herbal teas, infused waters, and calming blends - something to nourish both body and spirit.
WHO IS YOUR GO-TO?
When life feels overwhelming, who do you turn to?
And what happens when you are not sure where to begin?
As part of the afternoon, we will explore the support available around you and help you create your own “Who Is Your Go-To?” self-care toolkit.
You will have the opportunity to identify:
• Support services
• Practitioners and professionals
• Community resources
• Crisis and specialist contacts
• Local wellbeing options
So you leave not only feeling supported - but knowing where to turn when you need support again.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Women carry so much.
We care for others.
We manage households.
We work.
We nurture relationships.
We navigate change.
We keep things moving.
But somewhere amongst all of that…
Where do you fit?
We have all heard “put your own oxygen mask on first.”
But how often do we actually do it?
This afternoon is your invitation to pause.
To soften.
To breathe.
To receive.
To reconnect with yourself.
Not because you have to do more.
Because you deserve care, too.
