Every element of the experience has been thoughtfully considered and
taken care of for you. From luxurious accommodation and nourishing meals to your resources and weaving materials, you will not need to plan, organise or lift a finger. This allows you to step away from the responsibilities of everyday life and devote yourself completely to your
personal development, creative expression and inner journey.

Limited to 20 women, By Design

Guided by experienced facilitators and artisans, you will learn the ancient art of basket weaving using sustainably sourced, premium Australian native fibres and all-natural dyes.

Working with these natural materials invites you to slow down, connect with the earth and create in harmony with its resources. Fibre by fibre, your basket becomes a tangible expression of your story, growth and reclaimed wisdom.

Beyond the craft, Her Circle provides a sacred and deeply supported space to explore your personal development and life’s transitions. Through ritual, storytelling, healing, meditation, movement and reflective practices, you will honour the stages of womanhood (from Maiden and Mother to Maga and Crone) and reconnect with the wisdom within each.

You will also explore the Divine Feminine, deepening your connection to your intuition, inner strength and the natural world.

You will leave with more than a handwoven basket. You will carry practical tools, meaningful insights and supportive practices to integrate into everyday life.
