Insights into your experience

Here is where you will be immersed in a Welcome to Country, Smoking Ceremony and Water Ceremony. Aunty Pat will take you through each of these ceremonies explaining their meaning and the positive impact it can have on your personal well-being.
Following these ceremonies Aunty Pat will share with you women’s stories of this culturally significant site, including a short walk up the beach. Sample some bush tucker refreshments such as Rosella or Davidson Plum cordial and sweet treats, specifically known for their healing properties for women’s health.
