Join us for a unique and transformative day devoted to self-love and body acceptance as our divine birthright.

Are you one of many sparks of light who has volunteered to be born into a world where women criticize and compare their bodies so that you can consciously help shift this paradigm? Or perhaps you are a woman who wants to let go of self-judgement about your body and would like support with this? Or perhaps you see footage of women in full length burkas and a fiery anger rises in you where you want to cry out.... “FUCK THIS SHIT!!!!! Someone get me off this planet!” Or perhaps you are all of the above…. Welcome Sister, to The Sacred Reveal. A place where we can come together to unravel internalized and ancestral patriarchalization and in a supportive, compassionate and playful environment, remember that as women, our divine birthright is beauty and freedom. Through group connection, therapeutic tremoring - an effective technique that works to release stuck energies and beliefs - guided embodiment practices of artistic self-love and singing we will remember this divine birthright. Once layers of conditioning have been released and we are holding the field of “we are women, we are here to support each other, we are beautiful, we are free” this will be embodied through a guided group process: the Sacred Reveal where the focus is not on what is taken away (‘stripping’), but simply on who we already are and always have been. Let’s say goodbye to the layers of socialization that automatically shrouded our divine light when we incarnated, layers that we came here to purify and shrug off for ourselves, the collective and our ancestors. Together, with playfulness, the beauty of ritual and creative art processes, this “shrugging off” becomes a joyful process full of laughter, and yes a few tears (maybe even some anger when we think of the BS we have been swallowing), but you will be safely held and emerge with a deeper love, appreciation for and dedication to cherishing your body. Your divine vessel you are currently caretaker of. Your temple that you are priestess to. As women our bodies are beautiful, expressive and creative vessels and the world shifts and the Mother sings in delight as more women live and breathe this as truth, rather than remain covered by the shroud of lies and shame placed upon us in the last 6,000 years. (The first laws about covering up appeared in ancient Mesopotamia legal dictating that 'respectable' women had to wear veils and long tunics in public, while enslaved women and sex workers were banned from covering up under penalty of law. Ergo - rich men stopped other men looking at their wives' bodies and they could remain ‘pure’ while all the blokes could ogle at 'lower class' women’s bodies. Social hierarchy and division was made visible through control of women's bodies via clothes.) Fuck that shit!

Meanwhile we who see through this and instead claim our birthright of beauty and freedom are supported by the hundreds of millions of women who walked as nature, free of shame, on this land and in our deep ancestral past.

We are supported by the ancestral reverence for the divine feminine that still sings in our blood, by Mother Gaia, Hathor, Isis, the Magdalen line, Sheela-na-Gigs (really any divine feminine archetype YOU wish to be inspired by - including the sister next to you) and by the Australian pioneers of this work; Vali Myers and Gurlesque. Alongside this paradigm shifting journey, participants will learn the practical art of life modeling, including how to pose comfortably and confidently, explore a range of poses, work with artists, and how to create and facilitate their own life drawing sessions as a potential source of income. The day concludes with a life drawing experience where participants will have the opportunity to model for one another in pairs, grounding the stronger sense of safety, self-acceptance, confidence, self-love and embodied freedom cultivated throughout the workshop. This immersive workshop runs from 10am - 4pm and is facilitated by two experienced women who combine the practical skills of professional life modeling with powerful embodied practices for self-discovery and personal transformation. And....here’s an AI paragraph to conclude with so that you, the reader, can begin to feel the difference in your body between what is true, real and authentic (like the above writing and your beautiful body) and something that is synthetic, artificial and 'not you' - such as AI or the beliefs programmed into women’s bodies for generations: Whether you are here to heal your relationship with your body, explore a new creative outlet, learn the skills of life modeling, or simply experience the profound freedom of being seen exactly as you are—this day is for you. We offer a safe and deeply supportive space for you to step into, shed your inhibitions, and embrace the power of your raw, authentic self. Can you feel that difference? Are you ready to step into a portal undoing over 6,000 years of patriarchialization for yourself and the collective? Are you ready to embrace your birthright of celebrating your own beauty and joyfully expressing your freedom? No previous modeling or artistic experience is required. Please note as this workshop can touch on past traumas, it is highly recommended individual women be able to navigate their emotional terrain and reach out for further professional help as needed. This is a Pilot Workshop and being offered at an introductory price. Places limited to 16. .

SingingValley Campout is a three-day gathering devoted to opening the voice through song. This is the first all-acoustic, voice-activation gathering of its kind in Australia. 🌿

~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~

At SingingValley we teach, share and invigorate the songs that travel through this great circuit of like-hearted beings — it's a place where community choirs, kirtan and bhakti circles, devotional song-carriers and medicine-song keepers gather. We hold ceremonial space for the songs to do their healing work, and brew the magic of collective singing. We are about bringing people together to awaken and nurture their spiritual life through communion with song. Such songs clarify our lives, strengthen our communities, and foster personal and planetary renewal.

An Introduction to Therapeutic Tremoring for Singers & Voice Teachers In this 2-hour online workshop, you’ll be introduced to therapeutic tremoring and how it can be used as a powerful tool for nervous system regulation, vocal freedom, and performance confidence.

Therapeutic tremoring is a natural, involuntary shaking response in the body that can help release stored tension and support the nervous system in moving out of stress states and back into a sense of safety and regulation. When the body feels safe, the voice becomes more accessible, responsive, and free.

As singers and voice professionals know, even the most refined vocal technique can become difficult to access when the nervous system is activated. In fight, flight, or freeze states, the body often tightens, breath becomes restricted, and the voice can feel unreliable or out of reach. This is where embodied regulation practices become essential.

In this workshop, we will explore how therapeutic tremoring can support:

Nervous system regulation and downshifting out of stress states

Release of chronic physical tension that affects the breath and voice

Softening of stage nerves and performance anxiety

Greater ease, presence, and freedom in vocal expression

You will also be guided through a practical, embodied experience of tremoring so you can feel its effects in your own body, rather than only understanding it conceptually.

This approach offers a bridge between vocal pedagogy and nervous system awareness, and invites the question: what becomes possible for singers when the body is supported to feel safe?

This workshop is suitable for:

Singers and performers

Vocal teachers and voice coaches

Anyone interested in the connection between voice, nervous system, and embodied expression

Safe to Sing — A Nervous System Reset Through Voice, Sound & Tremoring

Have you ever felt your throat tighten when you try to express yourself?

Many of us live with a nervous system that feels constantly braced — tight chest, shallow breath, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty fully relaxing.

Safe to Sing is a gentle, guided 3-hour experience using breath, tremoring, sound, and voice to help your body release stress and return to a state of safety and regulation.

Most people who come believe they “can’t sing.”

This workshop isn’t about being a “good singer.” It’s about changing your relationship with your voice — and giving yourself permission to express it freely, just as it is.

Many people have a natural desire to sing, but somewhere along the way it gets shut down — through fear, tension, or simply not feeling safe to be heard.

When the nervous system begins to settle, the voice often opens naturally.

This is a space where your body can soften, your breath can deepen, and your voice can begin to emerge with more ease and freedom.

No singing experience is required.

During the workshop, we’ll explore: Therapeutic tremoring to release stored tension and stress Breath and sound practices to regulate the nervous system Gentle voice activation to explore and free your natural voice Somatic practices to reconnect with the body Group sounding as a safe and supportive shared experience This workshop is for you if: You feel stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected You notice tightness in your throat or chest You want to calm your nervous system naturally You love singing but feel shy, blocked, or self-conscious You want a safe space to express yourself without judgement

Release tension, calm your body and return to yourself.

A High-Vibration One-Day Festival of Breath & Embodied Healing

Something powerful happens when we gather to breathe together.

In a world where so many people live in their minds, overwhelmed by noise, stress and constant stimulation. The body quietly waits for us to return.

BreathFest was born from a simple but powerful vision: To create a space where people can slow down, reconnect, detox, nourish and expand. A space where breath becomes the bridge back to the body, a space where people gather to breathe, move, release and awaken their life force together. The body becomes the gateway to deeper presence, clarity and vitality.

Join some of the most experienced and embodied facilitators in the region, each sharing their unique medicine through breathwork, movement, sound and somatic practices.

This is a living experience of breath, embodiment and community.

WHY BREATH?

Across many ancient traditions, breath was understood as sacred. It was known as life force, the invisible current that moves through the body and connects us to something greater than ourselves.

Today modern science is rediscovering what these traditions always knew:

Conscious breathing has a profound impact on the nervous system, emotional wellbeing, mental clarity and the body’s natural ability to heal.

Learning to breathe consciously can help us:

• regulate nervous system • release stored emotions and tension • increase energy and vitality • reduce stress and anxiety • access expanded states of awareness • return to a deeper sense of presence in the body

The doorway back to ourselves is always only one breath away.

BreathFest is a day devoted to rediscovering this living medicine.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

ONE TEMPLE — TWO SPACES BreathFest unfolds across two beautiful spaces on magical land in the Byron Shire....

You are welcome to move between spaces as your breath and body guide you.

THE BREATH TEMPLE

A dedicated space for deep transformational breathwork sessions and expanded states of consciousness. Here you will be guided by experienced facilitators through immersive breathing journeys

*BREATHE * Explore powerful breathing practices that can increase aliveness, expand awareness and release what the body has been holding. Discover how breath can open creativity, regulate the nervous system and reconnect you with your inner life force.

THE SOUND & SOMATIC SANCTUARY

A softer space designed for integration, rest and nervous system regulation. Participants can receive sound healing, stretch, journal, explore gentle somatic practices or simply lie down and allow the body to integrate.

*MOVEMENT * Reconnect with your body through ecstatic movement of 5Rhythms, Shaking medicine, Taoist exercises and intuitive somatic practices designed to awaken and circulate energy. These practices help discharge stress, unlock tension and restore vitality to the system.

• SOUND * Experience the healing power of vibration through live music, sound journeys and healing instruments such as gongs, bowls and chimes. Sound supports the breathwork process by helping the mind soften and the body move into deeper states of release and integration.

DINNER PANEL During the break, relax and listen to experienced breathwork pioneers share insights about the power of breath, movement and sound in transforming consciousness, releasing emotional patterns and supporting deep healing.

We will also explore the importance of integration — how to bring these powerful tools into everyday life.

COMMUNITY

BreathFest is also about something many of us deeply need: Real human connection.

When we breathe together, move together and share space with open hearts, something beautiful happens. A field of belonging emerges. Whether this is your first time exploring breathwork or you are already on the path, you will be welcomed into a community of people who are also seeking growth, healing and expansion.

THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO: • reconnect with your body • learn powerful breathwork tools • release stress and emotional tension • regulate your nervous system • experience movement and sound healing • feel energised, clear and alive • connect with like-minded community • explore expanded states of consciousness

IMPORTANT INFO • Sober gathering • No experience necessary • Beginners and experienced practitioners are equally welcome • Food and nourishing elixirs will be available for purchase, please bring cash. • You are also welcome to bring your own picnic. • This is not a child-friendly event. However, if you are with a child, there is a cabin with a babysitter; we are able to create a child space with a babysitter for the day split between the parents (Please connect to admin@ajnatemple to arrange this add-on )

WHAT TO BRING

• Cash for Food or a picnic for your own food • A yoga mat or something to lie on • A blanket or warm layers (body temperature can change during breathwork) • Water bottle • Eye mask (optional but recommended for pineal activation in Breathwork) • Wear comfortable clothing

A FULLY CURATED IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Throughout the day you will explore a wide spectrum of breathing practices, from gentle nervous-system regulating techniques to more activating forms of circular breathing that can open powerful states of clarity, emotional release and expanded awareness. Alongside breathwork, the experience also includes somatic and body-based practices designed to help the body release stress patterns and restore natural energy flow.

In times like these, when many people feel overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck in their heads, learning how to return to the body is one of the most powerful forms of healing. When the body feels safe again, everything changes.

Energy flows. Emotions move. Creativity awakens. Clarity returns. BreathFest is designed to support this process.
