PRESS PAUSE
Tabletop Zen Garden Experience
Intentional moments to pause, connect and reset
Saturday 7 November · 10am to 1pm · The Gap, Brisbane
A series of hands-on, experiential workshops for deeper inner connection and calm.
Some days call for slowing right down.
Join me at my home in The Gap for a relaxed three-hour experience of gentle movement, breathwork, meditation and a guided, hands-on tabletop Zen garden, finishing with a shared tea and nibbles table and a sharing circle.
No screens, no to-do lists, no rush. You’ll leave with your very own table-top garden and a reminder that you can pause, reset and begin again.
