Workshops include:

✨ Non-Violent Communication – Develop the skills to express yourself openly and compassionately. This workshop will guide you toward deeper, more authentic connections by teaching effective communication that fosters harmony and understanding in all relationships.

​🎨 Drawing & Crafts – Unleash your inner artist! These creative sessions are designed to help you tap into self-expression, unwind, and create beautiful keepsakes to remember your time here. No experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore.

💃 Dance & Movement – Dance your heart out! With a variety of dance styles, from free-form expression to guided workshops, you’ll have the space to release, connect, and let your body move to the rhythm of your soul. These sessions are crafted to rejuvenate your spirit and reconnect you with your true self.

🥁 Drumming Circles – Feel the pulse of community in these energizing drumming circles. Whether you’re a seasoned percussionist or new to drumming, these sessions encourage everyone to join in and create rhythms that unite us all. Drum, dance, and let go as the beat carries you.

🕊️ Trauma Release – Let go of past hurts and discover a new sense of freedom. Our trauma-release workshops provide a safe space to gently address and heal from experiences that may have held you back. Guided by experienced facilitators, these sessions help you reconnect with joy and resilience.

🔊 Sound Healing – Drift into a state of pure relaxation and clarity with sound healing, an experience that harmonizes your body and mind. Through the therapeutic use of sound and vibration, these sessions aim to restore balance, release stress, and bring about deep inner peace.

🎭 Improv – Step into spontaneity! These improv sessions are a playful way to break out of your comfort zone, fostering creativity and laughter. Perfect for boosting confidence, developing quick thinking, and making friends along the way.

🧘 Meditation & Yoga – Center yourself with yoga and meditation classes led by skilled practitioners. From calming meditations that deepen your awareness to energizing yoga sessions, these practices will ground and elevate you, providing both inner calm and vitality.

Flourish Sanctuary exists primarily to serve the people of our community. To date, we have proudly not taken any government grants or corporate money and are totally independently funded. Everybody who works on the property is an unpaid volunteer apart from our cleaner, but they do get to live on this sacred land. Black Sheep Farm and Compassion Temple are operated by volunteers of Flourish Sanctuary. Our purpose is people, not profits. If you can make a donation to support our purpose then please click here.

Picture
We believe this world is for everyone regardless of spiritual beliefs, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity or species. ​We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Bundjalung people, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, and community, and we support their ongoing efforts towards self-determination and sovereignty.
