Welcome to the land of fire and water,
You are invited into the heart of the Kimberley, to sit with local Indigenous women and embark on a journey of remembering.
The Kimberley is ancient land where fire and water meet. With cascading waterfalls, dramatic gorges and wide rivers. The sun shines bright and hot, radiating like fire. In this place, you can't help but be inspired by the beauty of nature, a reflection of our own nature as women. For six days we will gather ~ Sleeping under the stars, walking the land, sitting in circle and listening to Indigenous story.
"Wild nature calls us home."
The intention is…
To bring women together to listen to Indigenous story to learn their connection to country.
Spend time in reflection to connect to self and rekindle your connection to nature.
Authentically create nurturing change in your world and the world around you.
It looks like…
Hearing stories from Indigenous elders and learning their spiritual connection to the land
Sitting in circle as women to share our stories and learn from each other
Adventuring into waterfalls, rivers and gorges
It feels like…
Deeply connecting to the land
Being supported by a tribe of women (each other)
Feeling a sense of belonging
The Transformation...
This deep immersion in nature supports you back to your natural state of being – coming home to self and remembering your belonging to the natural world as a woman.

About Karla
Hi,
I grew up walking bare feet in the red earth, on Kamilaroy country in western New South Wales. For me, I have always felt at home in the Australian bush. It’s this love for country that led me to the deserts of central Australia where I discovered the power of cultural lore holders and the devastation of colonisation. That was back in 2016, since that time I have walked alongside these people as an activist and a voice for Country and Custodians. My activism is expressed in a deep devotion to healing, reconnecting to country and spoken word. Gather is born from this devotion, it's a space for us all to walk this journey of healing together.

Testimonies
” It was such a privilege also to feel connection with the indigenous elders that shared their culture, I really got to witness their connection to the land through the ceremonies and in listening to their stories.”
Jaclyn Cunningham – Founder and facilitator of Radiant Woman
“The Gathering was a beautiful experience that somehow managed to be relaxed and intense at the same time, with many moments that I can only describe ‘epic’. I experienced and witnessed some profound and beautiful healing that I will never forget, and left the Kimberley feeling a deep sense of connection to the land and a bond to the women with whom I had gathered with. I also returned home with a deep respect and appreciation for Indigenous culture which I often connect with and feel through my body and my heart.”
Nattalie Xerri – Change Management Consultant
