Courses & Offerings
Womens Circle at Coffs Botanical Gardens
​Starting Friday 28th February 2025
from 10am - 12
​

This is a six week program for women who are struggling emotionally and is free of cost. We will gather together in a circle at the Botanical Gardens (weather dependent), exploring a different theme each week and learn skills to help us…
-
Connect more deeply to nature
-
Develop self-compassion
-
Cultivate a sense of inner peace & attune to the wisdom of our hearts
-
Harness our creativity
-
Establish healthy boundaries in relationships
​
This is also an opportunity to meet other women in the area in a beautiful setting in nature and there will be time after the circle to have a picnic lunch together.
This program supports mothers with pre-school aged children to attend as there will be supervised nature play available. This is so important as mothers can feel overwhelmed and isolated and unfortunately most therapeutic groups are ruled out for them!
​​
