25.01.2022 All ready for the start of our Yoga retreat for vulnerable teens.

24.01.2022 Success and impact is strengthened by great collaborations. Working with Banksia Women has meant we can reach more women impacted by domestic violence. Working with Gaiam means we can provide beautiful mats to our groups. We value all these relationships.

21.01.2022 Sarah is at the heart of our June campaign for women affected by domestic violence. Here is more of her story, in her own words: "How are we going to rearm women that have lost and endured so much? I know from my experience, the path to power is paved by opportunities and tools, and betterment means grasping onto these and embracing them wholeheartedly. I am an avid believer in metaphorically seeing the ying in every yang and the yang in every ying. Meaning, that yes I may ...be a survivor or trauma and abuse, and yes I may have a damaged or diseased self-worth or inner dialogue; however because I have endured this, and because I am a woman existing in the gloriously affluent country of Australia 2021, I have been provided with and afforded opportunities that my international counterparts would only hope to dream of. It is my basic stats that are used as a means to an end in order to present me with a myriad of support. So instead of perpetuating a constant state of victimhood, I wear my stats, my traumas, my experiences as a badge of honour. I gaze back at the road that I walked to get to here, and I stare lovingly at the path that has taken me to the door of places like, The Leichhardt Womens Community Health Centre, Banksia Womens, Anglicare, St Vincent’s domestic violence services, The Yoga Institute Australia and The Yoga Foundationto name a few."

15.01.2022 "To know me is to breathe with me, to breathe with me is to listen deeply, to listen deeply is to connect. The sound of deep calling to deep, Dadirri the deep inner spring inside us. We call on it and it calls on us."

13.01.2022 "Our environment is a reflection of us, and we are a reflection of it." (Between Heaven and Earth: A Guide to Chinese Medicine, Beinfield & Korngold). We are the proud workplace mentors of the Capstone Research Project of Masters of Sustainability student Maddalen Rose Isabella. She has produced a great podcast that explores eco-anxiety from many different angles. With guests like Dr Tim Flannery, Dr Michael de Manincor and author James Bradley it is well worth a listen. https://www.connectiontosourcepodcast.com/episodes
