Otways Women's Circle Jan.

Step out of the daily rush and gather in a intentional space dedicated to stillness, creative expression, and deep connection with our true nature.

​

The Otways Women’s Circle is an invitation to pause, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and anchor yourself within a supportive community of local women. Nestled at the foot of the Otway Ranges at Deans Marsh Cottage, our gatherings weave together nature-based mindfulness, gentle expressive arts, reflective writing, and shared presence.

No prior experience with meditation, art, or circle work is needed, just an open heart and a desire to connect.

​

What We Explore

Each monthly gathering is intuitively themed around the natural rhythms of the seasons, offering a gentle structure to support your wellbeing:

• Nature-Spirituality & Meditation: Grounding practices to steady the mind, soothe the nervous system, and acknowledging the interconnection with the web of life.

• Ancestral Connection & Deep Time: Expanding our perspective beyond the immediacy of modern life. We honour the lineages, human and more-than-human, that carried life forward to this moment, listening for the quiet wisdom of deep time.

• Creative Expression: Simple, intuitive art-making and journal writing prompts using natural materials, colour, and process-oriented creativity (focusing on exploration rather than outcome).

• Empowered Sharing & Sacred Space: A confidential, non-judgmental space to share your story, speak your truth, and feel truly heard.

• Seasonal Rhythms: Harmony with the changing cycles of the land, food, weather, and life transitions.

What to Bring

To make your time comfortable and nourishing, we recommend bringing:

• A journal or notebook and a pen you enjoy writing with.

• A warm throw blanket for sitting comfortably.

• A small item for our central altar—a natural treasure (stone, seed pod, leaf) or an object that connects you to your ancestors or the land you live, work or play.
