Recharge your body, mind and soul

Sacred Circles at 4305

The Sacred Collective is a space for women to honour their magical sisterhood, grow and thrive as a community through safe sacred events.  These powerful workshops, called Sacred Circles, focus on bringing you back to centre and finding answers from within while tapping into your own inner wisdom.  Circles are held twice monthly and offer a chance to reset and recharge with meditation and sound healing.  During the session Krysia Soul Star and Courtney Rodgers will guide you to relax and heal the body, mind and spirit.

Circles held on the full moon focus on powerful release, while circles held on the new moon focus on manifesting and creativity. The circles are beautifully decorated with fresh botanicals and crystals and held next door to Ipswich Massage and Herbal Spa.
