Open the Door ✨ A Creative Self-Discovery Workshop

A Creative Self-Discovery Workshop Do you ever feel like you want more from life? Maybe you even know what you want, you’re just not quite sure how to get there. Maybe it’s a relationship. A change in your work. More confidence. More time for yourself. More creativity, fun or connection. Maybe there’s an area of your life that keeps pulling at you, or a pattern you keep finding yourself in. Or maybe life is actually pretty good. You’re just ready to look at it a little differently. Sometimes a little curiosity can help us see what we couldn’t see before. Open the Door is an afternoon to step out of autopilot and take an honest look at your life. We’ll explore what’s working, what isn’t, what you want more of and some of the beliefs, habits, stories and patterns that might be shaping the choices you make without you even realising it. Not because everything needs to change. But because once we become conscious of what’s happening, we have more choice about what we do next. Eight areas. One Life. We’ll start by taking a bird’s-eye view of eight areas of your life: Health & Wellbeing Relationships & Connection Career, Business & Purpose Personal Growth & Learning Fun, Play & Creativity Self-Worth & Self-Trust Home & Environment Money & Financial Wellbeing We’ll look at where life feels good, where you’d love more, what keeps pulling at your attention and where you might keep finding yourself in the same patterns. Maybe you know exactly what you want, but something keeps stopping you from moving towards it. Maybe there’s a habit you’ve fallen into without really noticing. Maybe it’s something you believe about yourself. Maybe it’s an expectation you’ve carried for years. Maybe it’s a story you picked up from your family, a relationship, an experience or simply the world around you. Or maybe you’ll realise something you thought needed changing actually doesn’t. This isn’t about searching for everything that’s wrong with your life. It’s about becoming more conscious of what’s shaping it, because once we can see something, we get to decide what we want to do with it. What's underneath? Once we’ve looked at the bigger picture, you’ll choose an area that feels interesting to you and we’ll go a little deeper. We’ll explore how our beliefs, stories, habits and choices can all influence each other, and how the things we do without really thinking about them can become the patterns we live by. We might ask: Where did I learn this? Is it actually true? Is this helping me get closer to what I want? Does this still feel right for me? What could I do differently? What else might be possible? You don’t need to arrive knowing what you want to work on. You might know straight away, or something completely unexpected might come up. That’s part of it. And then ... we create ✨ After all that reflection, we’ll get out of our heads and into our hands. There’ll be beautiful materials spread across the tables, lots to choose from, cups of tea, conversation, laughter and time to simply play. And this time, what we’re creating is a surprise. 🤫 We’re keeping this part a little secret, although there are definitely a few clues hiding across our socials and even on this event page. Let’s just say... if you love a little Lord of the Rings magic, have a soft spot for fairies or love whimsical little things for your garden, you might especially love this one. ✨ But the creative part isn’t just something we’ve added onto the end. There’s something about getting out of our heads and creating with our hands that can help things land differently. What you make will become a playful, physical reminder of what you’ve explored during the afternoon and whatever Open the Door comes to mean to you. There’s no right or wrong way to create it. Choose what catches your eye, change your mind, add more, take something away and make it completely yours. No creative experience needed. A little Spring Magic🌿 We’re gathering on Sunday 20 September, just a few days before the Spring Equinox. Winter is starting to soften. The days are getting longer, there’s more light and little signs of new growth are appearing around us. It feels like a pretty perfect time for this workshop. Not because a new season means we need to reinvent ourselves or suddenly become someone new. But it can be a lovely moment to stop and ask: What do I want more of? What do I want to keep nurturing? What might I have outgrown? What am I ready to look at differently? And what door might I be ready to open next? We’re not going to completely change our lives in one afternoon. But sometimes noticing another door is there is where change begins. Your afternoon We’ll begin with a guided meditation to help us slow down and properly arrive. From there, we’ll move through our Eight Areas of Life reflection using your keepsake workbook, guided questions and conversation. We’ll explore some of the beliefs, stories, habits and patterns sitting underneath the surface. Then we’ll create. There’ll be time to make, chat, laugh, have a cuppa and something to eat, and simply enjoy being somewhere you don’t have to rush onto the next thing. Your afternoon includes: ✨ Guided meditation ✨ Eight Areas of Life reflection ✨ Your keepsake workbook ✨ Guided questions + self-discovery ✨ A surprise creative experience ✨ An abundance of beautiful materials ✨ Conversation + connection ✨ Tea, coffee + light snacks ✨ Your finished creation to take home The details: Sunday 20 September 2026 1.00pm - 3.30pm The Sweat Playground, Lilydale Everything you need will be waiting for you. Come with a friend or come on your own. These workshops are designed to feel warm and welcoming either way. This particular gathering has been created for women to step away from everyday life for an afternoon, spend a little time with themselves, connect with other women and create something meaningful along the way. You don’t need to have anything figured out. Just come as you are and bring a little curiosity. Let’s see what might be waiting on the other side. ✨
