You are invited to a unique and rare opportunity to experience Aboriginal Sacred Women's Healing.

Open to Sistas of all walks and origins to gather on Wiradjuri Country, NSW.

Australia’s First Nations people are the oldest living culture on Earth, dating back more than 65,000 years. Their connection to self, community, and Country holds deep wisdom and reverence that we can all learn from.

YAWARRA MIGAY means “woman’s healing” in Wiradjuri. Gathering with Women for Healing is sacred. Women hold the feminine spirit and the role of connecting to Country and ancestry.

When Women Gather, Magic Flows.

You are Welcome

We warmly invite you to a sacred weekend to experience the healing and grounding of Aboriginal Women's Healing on Wiradjuri Country, New South Wales.

You will learn the sacred practices of ceremony and healing, and receive teachings passed down by Aboriginal women through maternal lines across generations — shared only among women to honour ancestral wisdom and the feminine spirit.

Your Teacher

Diyan Coe is a proud Wiradjuri and Kuku-Yalanji woman. Her birthright country is Gadigal Country, Eora Nation (Sydney), and she grew up on Erambie in Cowra, NSW.

Diyan is an intuitive healer, teacher, storyteller, songwoman and artist from a family of prominent activists who have worked for Aboriginal land rights, housing, and legal services since the 1970s.

She brings authenticity, insight, and ancestral connection to this gathering, guiding women to listen deeply — to Country, to Spirit, and to their own inner knowing.

What to Expect

Go with the flow as the group moves through the weekend, attuned to the elements of nature (including weather).

Be open to new experiences and new culture. Everything is a choice — feel free to participate in the planned activities, or sit out and connect with nature.

Let go and be held by Country, supported by like-minded women you will call sistas at the end.

Across three days you will learn

Our First Nations sistas know how to slow down, listen, and reconnect with self, each other, and Country. Sacred Women's Program is about teachings, ceremony, and creative expression.

You will receive ancient teachings. You will walk on sacred Country, take part in a healing ceremony, and join an art and creative circle to express your own journey.

A nourishing weekend of learning, culture, and sistahood — First Nations way. You’ll leave grounded, centred, and connected to Country.

Cowra is about 4.5 hours drive from Sydney.

About Ochre Healing Ceremony

Ochre is a deeply sacred natural earth pigment used by First Nations peoples for over 65,000 years in ceremony, art, and healing. Sourced directly from Country, it carries the spirit of the land and is honoured as Earth’s medicine.

When applied to the body, ochre symbolises connection to the land, protection, respect, and identity. In healing, it grounds energy, cleanses the spirit, and calls in ancestral guidance — reminding us that the Earth itself holds everything we need for balance, renewal, and reconnection.

Why You Should Come

Every woman deserves to experience grounding and a return to her true self. Together, Diyan and Elisa offer this rare experience for women to connect with themselves and with Country — the way First Nations women have known for more than 65,000 years.

Unplug from the busyness of city life and return to simplicity, connection and Country. Reconnect with the ancient, earth-connected parts within us all — open your heart to the wisdom of the land, the waters and the stories that live within.

You'll leave grounded and deeply connected to Country, taking home not just your memories, teachings and artwork, but a renewed sense of self and belonging.
