Food, Rhythm & Rituals for Everyday Balance
A practical day retreat to experience traditional Ayurvedic food, cooking, and daily rituals that support balance in body and mind
​What this day is about
Ayurveda is a traditional system from India that looks at how food, daily rhythm, and simple practices affect how you feel, both physically and mentally.
This is not about strict diets or complicated rules.
It is about understanding what supports your energy, digestion, and overall balance, and learning simple ways to bring that into your everyday life.
What you’ll experience
Cooking and preparing simple, traditional Ayurvedic meals
Understanding how food affects your energy, clarity, and mood
Learning practical Ayurvedic rituals for body and mind
Exploring how daily rhythm supports balance and wellbeing
A grounded approach you can adapt to your own lifestyle
​What’s included
Nourishing vegetarian Ayurvedic lunch and refreshments
A practical workbook to take home
A post retreat one on one check in to support your progress
​Why come
Because what you eat and how you live directly affects how you feel.
And most people are either overcomplicating it or not paying attention to it at all.
This day gives you a simple, practical way to understand your body and support it properly.
​Who this is for
People who want a more grounded and consistent way to support their energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing without extremes or quick fixes.

Forget the clichés; we share the hilariously honest truths of motherhood. By exploring the unfiltered highs and lows—from laundry monsters to genuine reflection—our stories reveal how this relatable experience truly changes you. Join these outstanding women as they share what this role means to them.
Sarah O’Connell, Lysanne van Zessen, Beccy Myers and Breigh O’Malley join Debbie Brooks in this debut collaboration of motherhood, music and mayhem.
It’s a little chaotic, very raw and thoughtful as we discuss topics about motherhood that we didn’t expect to experience. From IVF with pop rock music, mundane household chores, the loneliness epidemic without a village and perimenopausal life with a toddler – there’s something for everyone.
How we define ourselves as mothers is more than this name – we each navigate this journey differently and yet struggle with the same thing – to be more than just this title at this stage in our lives.

Follow Through - Build discipline and stay consistent
2026-08-29 10:00 - 16:00
Master Discipline. Build Consistency. Get Results.
A practical day retreat to help you build discipline, patience, and consistency so you can actually follow through and create real change
​What this day is about
This is not about motivation or setting more goals.
It is about understanding why you stop, delay, or lose consistency even when you know exactly what needs to be done.
You will look at your own patterns, where things drop off, and what gets in the way. From there, you will build simple ways to follow through that work in your real life, not just for a few days.
What you’ll experience
Clarity on why you are not following through
Awareness of where things tend to drop off
Simple, realistic habits that fit your life
Practising making decisions and acting on them
Coaching to build consistency without burnout
What’s included
Nourishing vegetarian lunch and refreshments
A practical workbook to take home
A post retreat one on one check in to support your progress
​Why come
Because knowing is not the problem.
Doing it consistently is. Especially when life gets busy, motivation drops, or things feel uncomfortable.
This day helps you stop starting over and start following through.
​Who this is for
People who start with good intentions but struggle to stay consistent, follow through, or turn plans into action
