Sacred Women’s Gathering

Rest, reconnect and be held...

24-27th September 2027 | Mission Beach, North Queensland
An intimate gathering of 10–11 women

Come away for four days to rest, reset and reconnect.

Sacred Women’s Gathering is a welcoming space to land just as you are. A place to slow down, make new connections and be nourished by good food, laughter, tears, creativity and genuine companionship.

There is no set theme you need to fit yourself into and no expectation to arrive knowing what you need. Before we gather, you’ll be invited to reflect on what this time might mean for you. Perhaps you’re seeking rest, space to grieve, a chance to let go, a little peace, new friendships, or simply time away to hear yourself again. Your reason can be clear, uncertain or still unfolding.

Together, we’ll make room for you to take ownership of what you need: to rest, join in, step back, create, talk, listen or simply be. You’ll be welcome to unravel at your own pace, with the support of a warm and respectful circle of women around you.

Our days will unfold through time in circle, meaningful conversations, ceremony, creativity, shared meals and plenty of space to rest. There will be a letting-go ceremony, a cacao ceremony and a tea ceremony, each offered as an invitation to experience in your own way.

Art stations will be available during free time, so you can create when you feel drawn to it. We’ll also share simple practices and skills that you may choose to carry into your everyday life.

Sharing meals

Sharing food is part of how we connect. Guests will prepare and share our lunches and dinners together. Katrina will provide breakfast, morning tea, afternoon tea and desserts, along with herbal teas and refreshments.

The meals will be vegetarian and centred around nourishing whole foods. Guests contributing to lunch and dinner will be asked to share ingredient information and follow reasonable food-safety practices.

Cancellation by you

Please choose carefully before securing your place.

If you choose to cancel, payments are generally non-refundable due to the advance commitments involved in creating a small gathering, including venue hire, practitioners, supplies, accommodation and administration. This is subject to any refund or other remedy you may be entitled to under Australian Consumer Law.

If you are unable to attend, please contact us as soon as possible. You may request to transfer your place to another suitable person.

We recommend considering appropriate travel insurance that may cover cancellation due to illness, family emergencies, travel disruption or other unforeseen circumstances.

Cancellation or changes by Sacred Women’s Gathering

Occasionally, circumstances outside our reasonable control may require us to alter elements of the gathering. The schedule, activities, practitioners, meals or other aspects of the program may therefore be reasonably changed where necessary. We will endeavour to maintain the overall nature and quality of the gathering.

If Sacred Women’s Gathering cancels the gathering, participants will be contacted regarding the options and remedies available, consistent with applicable Australian Consumer Law.

Health and wellbeing

Please disclose relevant information that may affect your safe participation, including significant health conditions, injuries, pregnancy, allergies, medications or physical limitations.

Sacred Women’s Gathering is a wellbeing gathering and is not a substitute for medical, psychological or other professional healthcare.

If you have concerns about whether an activity or treatment is appropriate for you, please speak with the relevant practitioner and seek appropriate professional healthcare advice where necessary.

Participation and consent

Participation in gathering activities is voluntary. Our experiences are invitations rather than requirements. You are responsible for listening to your body and participating at a level appropriate for your individual circumstances.

You may decline, modify, pause or stop participating in an activity at any time.

Hands-on therapies, including womb and abdominal massage and reflexology, require appropriate consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

If a particular treatment is not clinically appropriate for you, the practitioner may modify or decline to provide that treatment and, where reasonably possible, discuss an alternative.

Emotional experiences

Somatic practices, meditation, bodywork, sound, movement, creativity and group experiences can sometimes bring up unexpected thoughts, feelings or emotions. You are always welcome to pause, step away or choose not to participate.

The gathering does not require you to disclose personal experiences, trauma or private information. No particular emotional, physical or personal outcome is promised or guaranteed.

Food and shared meals

Guests will prepare and share lunch and dinner during the gathering. Breakfast, morning tea, afternoon tea and desserts will be provided by Katrina, along with herbal teas and refreshments.

Food will predominantly be vegetarian and centred around nourishing whole foods. Food may contain or be prepared in an environment that handles gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds and other common allergens.

Because food will be prepared by the host and participants in a shared kitchen, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment or completely prevent cross-contact.

Please advise us of allergies, intolerances or significant dietary requirements before booking so we can discuss whether your needs can reasonably and safely be accommodated.

Guests contributing food will be asked to provide accurate ingredient information and follow reasonable food-safety and hygiene practices.

Accommodation

Accommodation is provided according to the room or bed option you select when booking. Depending on your chosen accommodation, bedrooms, bathrooms and communal areas may be shared.

Please treat the venue, its contents and the belongings of other participants with care and respect. You may be asked to cover reasonable costs associated with damage caused by you beyond normal wear and tear.

Travel and transport

Unless specifically stated as included in your booking, transport to and from the gathering venue is your responsibility. Please make your own travel arrangements with sufficient time to arrive at the designated arrival time.

Personal belongings

Please take reasonable care of your belongings throughout the gathering. We recommend keeping valuables secure and bringing only what you require for your stay.

Photography and privacy

Photography and video may be taken during selected parts of the gathering. You will be given the opportunity to provide consent for your image or video to be used for future Sacred Women’s Gathering or Matriarch Medicine promotional purposes. You may decline photography consent.

We also ask participants to respect the privacy of other women and not photograph, record or publicly share another participant’s personal experiences without permission.

Confidentiality and respect

Sacred Women’s Gathering is created as a respectful and supportive environment. Personal stories and experiences shared within the group should be treated with sensitivity and respect.

Participants are expected to respect each other’s privacy, personal boundaries, beliefs and experiences.

Behaviour that seriously threatens the safety or wellbeing of another participant, practitioner or the gathering environment may result in a participant being required to leave.

Alcohol, drugs and safety

Participants are expected to behave in a manner that supports a safe environment for themselves and others. The use of illegal drugs is not permitted at the gathering.

A participant whose behaviour is significantly impaired or creates a safety concern may be unable to participate in particular activities or practitioner sessions.

Every woman will experience the gathering differently. Sacred Women’s Gathering and its practitioners do not guarantee particular physical, emotional, spiritual, therapeutic or personal outcomes from attending the gathering or participating in an activity or treatment.

The meaning you take from your experience belongs to you.

Program and practitioner changes

While every effort will be made to provide the experiences advertised, individual practitioners, activities or session times may occasionally need to change because of illness, availability, weather, safety considerations or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Where this occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to provide an appropriate alternative while preserving the overall gathering experience.

By completing your booking and paying your deposit, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms & Conditions.
