High Tea for Hope

An Intimate Afternoon of Connection, Inspiration & Hope

Join us for a beautiful afternoon of connection, inspiration and purpose as we celebrate five years of Women's Healing Sanctuary and help create healing opportunities for women who need them most.

Hosted at the stunning Kew Dining overlooking the lush, green valley of Erina Heights, High Tea for Hope features Women's Healing Sanctuary co-founder and 2025 Able Golden Book Awards Finalist, Sharalyn Drayton, sharing the deeply personal story behind her memoir Finding Tomorrow and the journey that inspired the creation of Australia's first residential healing sanctuary dedicated exclusively to women.

From unimaginable loss to profound hope, Sharalyn's story is one of resilience, healing and discovering that even in life's darkest moments, tomorrow can still hold possibility.

This is more than a High Tea.

It's an opportunity to gather with like-minded women, hear a powerful story of courage and transformation, and directly support women experiencing grief, trauma, loss, exhaustion, relationship breakdown and other significant life challenges through our Angel Sponsorship Program.

Every ticket purchased helps make healing accessible to women who would otherwise be unable to afford a restorative stay at Women's Healing Sanctuary.

Your ticket includes

• A premium High Tea experience at Kew Dining with bubbles!

• Guest presentation by Sharalyn Drayton

• A signed copy of Finding Tomorrow

• One complimentary raffle ticket

• Access to our silent auction

• Exclusive priority access and Early Bird pricing for Rock & Roll for Resilience 2027

Places are strictly limited to just 35 guests to create an intimate and meaningful experience.

Come for the conversation. Leave inspired.
Help another woman find hope.

Together, we nurture hearts and restore energy
