What is Soulful Sundays!?

Sundays are for rest, recharge, and reconnecting to what matters to you. We've made it easy, with delicious dinner, a beautiful community and time and space to connect with yourself and others.

The format is simple:

Eat. Sit. Write. Chat.

Whilst each week is different, we'll run through exercises proven to reduce stress, increase mindfulness, boost creativity, and build thoughtfulness in all areas of life, including:

Guided meditations and gratitude exercises
Journaling and prompted writing exercises
Structured talking and listening exercises
Intention setting and planning
Social time

It's like a potluck dinner and meditation retreat had a baby. Get that holiday feeling, without needing to leave Canberra.
Bring a friend, have a great time, and go home feeling more connected to what is truly In Our Nature.

What do I need to bring?

Journal (either pen + paper or phone is fine). https://journey.cloud/ is a good option if you're looking for an app to use.

NOTE: All food will be vegan, peanut-free and (generally) gluten-free by default. Please let us know in advance if you have other allergies, and we will do our best to accommodate. Food available on a first come, first served basis.

FAQ:
Do I need to be an experienced meditator?
No, we cater for all levels of experience. Guidance will be provided throughout the meditation, seats, cushions, and lying down options provided.

Is this a religious group?
No. There are no religious teaching or theology here. This isn't a 'sit and listen to a talk' event. There is a brief introduction to the theme each week (e.g. 'Patience', 'Nature', 'Wisdom'), and that's it. The rest of the time is guided activities where you create the content (whether that be the focus of your meditation, journalling, conversation, etc.)

Why do you I this?
Because I really enjoy it! I've hosted 50+ mindful events so far, and it gives me a lot of joy. I originally started these as a way to have more of things things I wanted in life. I wanted to meditate more. I wanted to play the Ravdrum more. I wanted to stay consistent with meal prep. I wanted to journal more. And I wanted to meet others. This event started very much as 'scratching my own itch', but has grown to a community of over 100 individuals, with over 400 attendances to workshops, retreats and community events like this since 2022.
