What a beautiful day it was to celebrate the first gathering of the Well Woman Expo on Tamborine Mountain. A special gathering and welcoming by Aboriginal elder, Aunty Ruby Rose (via speaker phone!) set the tone for the importance of connecting community, supporting and uplifting one another in the morning.

It was a pleasure to attend the annual Feng Shui Conference held on the Gold Coast on the 3-4th July by the AFSC (Association of Feng Shui Consultants).
