SOMA Circle | Embodied Movement, Creativity & Rest – North Lakes

A privately hosted gathering for women in midlife. If you've been craving something that actually fills your cup, this is your invitation. What Are You Still Carrying? SOMA Circle | Our Final Gathering of 2026 An evening to reflect on the year you’ve lived, and make space for what matters next. Have you been feeling stretched thin? Like you’ve spent much of the year looking after everyone and everything, with little time or energy left for yourself? Perhaps you’re tired of always having to keep going. Your mind feels full, your body feels tense, and somewhere along the way, you’ve lost touch with what you actually need. Or perhaps you simply need a little space to stop, breathe and reconnect with yourself before the busyness of Christmas begins. Before you start thinking about what you want from next year, perhaps it’s worth asking what this year has taken from you, and what it’s taught you about what matters. There’s so much we carry through a year. The responsibilities. The expectations. The things we didn’t say. The changes we didn’t see coming. The parts of ourselves that quietly took a back seat while life kept moving. And often, we just keep going. For our final SOMA Circle of 2026, we’re inviting you to do something a little different. Together with Clare from Vera Wellness, we’ll explore a gentler way of checking in with ourselves. Through slow, accessible embodiment movement, gentle stretching and guided awareness, we’ll begin noticing how we’re feeling, where we’re holding tension, and what might be asking for our attention. Accompanied by soft, reflective music, we’ll then explore these discoveries through simple journaling, colour and creative expression, not to create something beautiful, but to give ourselves another way to explore the things we don’t always have words for. This isn’t an art class, a goal-setting workshop, or another thing to get right. It’s an opportunity to acknowledge the year you’ve lived, the difficult parts, the beautiful parts, and everything in between. To notice what you’re ready to put down. To consider how you want to care for yourself through the busy Christmas season, rather than simply push through it. And to reconnect with what you want to make room for as you enter 2027. We’ll finish with a gentle guided visualisation, inviting you to consider how you want to feel, what support you might need through the Christmas season, and how you’d like to step into 2027, with a little more intention and a little less pressure. No experience, artistic ability or personal sharing required. What to bring: You’re welcome to bring your favourite journal or notebook to capture your reflections and take them home with you. Paper, pens and creative materials will also be available, so there’s no need to bring anything if you’d rather simply turn up. As always, your mat, blanket and pillow will be ready for you, with chairs available if preferred. Just come as you are. Sunday 29 November 2026 | 5–7pm North Lakes, Brisbane Our final SOMA Circle of the year. A little time that’s entirely yours.
